Walla Walla is begging to thaw! Apparently not quite fast enough--we saw some people shoveling snow off a baseball diamond, and apparently some of the farms have had to remove a bunch of snow so they can actually plant their crops...but today we left our coats at home for the first time, yay!
So Sister McNeil and I taught at Walla Walla University this week! The professor of the World religions class invited us and when we showed up he was like, "oh, I didn't know girls did this too!" He started the class with a quiz, and he was excited to show us the questions he'd come up with about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. He then had us tell the class all the right answers, so luckily the questions weren't TOO hard. Teaching was pretty fun! It was like, heaven for a missionary--45 interested people all in the same room, forced to sit and listen to the message of the restoration of the gospel! It was awesome. We were able to answer many of their questions, and at the end we were flocked by people wanting copies of the Book of Mormon and copies of ALLL the pamphlets (maybe it was required for the class, but we were pretty happy about it).
So yesterday we went out looking for someone in a trailer park. We had to walk all the way to the far-side from where we parked and it was beginning to get dark and a bunch of chihuahuas--literally like five of them--started yapping and followed us the entire way through the park. If that's not making an entrance I don't know what is. In the end we couldn't find who we were looking for, but we started talking to someone and as we showed her the pamphlet she was really touched and began to cry, to the point where she couldn't even speak. We are meeting with her again soon! There are people here who are prepared, who have been humbled, and who are ready to receive the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Other things...
We did service at a recent member's house (it was kind of crazy...just an enormous mess and he didn't know where to tell us to even start...but it turned out good luckily) and his mom fed us the most amazing fresh enchiladas afterward! She doesn't speak a word of English, so luckily I know how to say "gracias"
I have been crocheting on my preparation days (because it's fun and it's good stress relief haha) and I finally finished a hat. Then I met Patsy and I knew that she was the one who needed that hat! She was so cute...not exactly a young single adult, but close enough.
No matter where you are, there's missionary work to be done! There are people prepared to receive the truth, they just don't know where to find it. Show them where! :)
Love,
Sister Jensen
