Another Good Week

Dearest Friends and Family,

It has been nice and HOT this past week. We had a finding party with our district (we all got together and called people), which was fun except we had to do it outside and it was 108 degrees! It was still fun. We had some other good adventures this week too! I went on an exchange with Sister Dustin and Sister Anderson (who is reassigned from Brasil) and it was super fun. We helped a family replace their porch light. After installing it we tested it out and it worked so we basically are all professional electricians now. That being said, I don't recommend that you trust missionaries to do all your electrical work...

This week we had dinner with Elder Stapleton, and his family shared their mission plan with us! He is such an incredible example of being a good member missionary. He of all people has a lot of church responsibilities, and it is inspiring to see how he makes time to have us over and to do his own ministering. He and President Rassmussen sent a letter out to every member in our mission encouraging and inviting them to get involved in missionary work. We have already had several members reach out to us! We are excited to help them figure out ways that they can be involved in this great work. 

This week we received a referral from a woman Angela who requested to meet with missionaries through the church website! We are so excited to meet with her later tonight. We have had a good week filled with lots of tender mercies and blessings. We have made lots of good progress with Zayne and Joan. We also had dinner with the Wall family, and we asked them if they wanted to learn more about what our church believes. They said yes, with no hesitation! Lexi (the eight year old) started to read us stories from her illustrated bible, saying "I like reading these stories because they make my heart feel good". Nichoelle even turned to her husband and said, "sometimes I wonder why we aren't members of your church already!" We are so excited to teach them this coming week! They have their own share of concerns, but the Lord truly does prepare people for us to teach.

I love you! And I love being a missionary. I hope you have a fantastic week!

Love,

Sister Jensen
