I hope that y'all had a wonderful week! My week was pretty rough but it was good! Sister Mansfield and I have been doing a lot of tracting these past couple weeks and just trying to find new people to teach and to share the gospel with! This week was pretty busy with moving apartments as well!
Now, I can't remember exactly what day it was but we were able to tract into this cute family. The mom's name is Sonia and she has a daughter named Arianna. We were able to talk to them on there pourch and they seemed pretty intrested so we were able to leave them with a restoration pamphlet and a Book of Mormon and said that they would read it! So, that was pretty cool!
Wednesday we moved apartments like I said earlier. Are lease was up and it was just an old house so the housing cordinator, Sister House decided to move us!:) I was pretty happy not going to lie :). So, we had some help from the district and a couple of members came to help us move so it got the job done quickly! This day was just a day of unpacking and getting settled in! Oh, we also had District meeting in our service clothes so that was a weird experience... hahaha
By Saturday we were really feeling discouraged in our missionary work and in our finding efforts because nobody and I mean nobody! Wanted to talk to us. So, Sister Mansfield and I decided that we were going to pray to know where to go tracting and we both came up with a street that we both felt pretty good about. We went ahead and tracted. The first house we came across we saw two ladies sitting outside smoking so we both went over to talk to them. It turned out that one of the ladies that we were talking to her husband past away not to long ago. So, automatically I reached into my bag to grab... (You geussed it) A plan of Salvation pamphlet! She seemed super greatful for us to come by and give it to her! Hopefully we will see her at church one day!
The same day we tracted into this other guy named Rodney. Not our investigator Rodney but a diffrent one. He was asking us some questions about our belief and "our bible" as people here in the south call the Book of Mormon and we explained a lot to him about where it came from and where are chruch came from. Out of the blue HE asked us if we can come by next week about the same time to teach him a little bit more! I was like what?! Thats crazy! So we are going to go by next week to teach him!
I just wanted to end this email by sharing with y'all my testimony on prayer. First off, I know that this church is the true church and that Joseph Smith was a prophet of god. I know that Heavinly Father hears and answers our prayers even though they may not come the way we expect them too. I love this church, I love my savior and I love serving him!
I hope everyone has a great week and I love and miss y'all so much!
Love,
Sister Jensen
P.S. Sorry this email is kind of scrambled all over the place I am also lacking on picture taking! I will do better next week! Promis!!!
Scripture of the week:
