Sis. McKenzie's Mission Memoirs: Welcome to Tville!!

Hello my wonderful family and friends,

I hope y'all had a wonderful week! I sure did. This week I was able to see so many miricals happen and we were able to find so many new investigators! As y'all know, I was transferred to Tomkinsville Kentucky to be with Sister Jarman. Sister Jarman is one of my best friends already. Its sad because she goes home in a little less than 6 weeks! Sister Jarman is from Layton, Utah. Well, without further adew lets get started.

Monday:

My last pday in Chatt Valley. We hung out at the church and played games with the district. We played Chess and cards. Which was a blast and we signed each others trunky journals. After Pday we just said goodbye to some amazing people and went tracting for a little bit.

Tuesday:

We basacally just said goodbye to people that I really wanted to see before I left the next day. I was able to see almost all of the people I wanted to so, that was great! Then we went home and finnished packing.

Wednesday:

Transfer day! Sister Lathem was generious enough to pick us up at 8am to take us on a long 2 hour drive down to Farragut, Tennessee. There I was able to meet my new companion Sister Jarman and a couple of people whom I havnt seen in quite some time. After we were done chatting and catching up we headed off on another 3 hour drive to Tompkinsville Kentucky. We finally got home at about 4:00pm. I was exhasted, but unfortunatly our day wasnt over quite yet so we unpacked and went over to branch council were I was able to meet our branch mission leader. What a sweet guy, then we helped Sister Hamilton (the yw leader and the one who took us home) clean out the yw closet.

Thursday:

I was able to get unpacked and settled in. After, we started weekly planning which took up alot of our day. Then we had a appointment with some of our investigators. We saw Cliff and Troy who are investigators that Sister Jarman and her trainie found while OYMing. They are solid investigators and so ready to learn. After that we went and isited with a recent convert named Belinda. She is the sweetest person. Then we headed off to Jayjay's (Sister Hamiltons grandson.) High School graduation. It was good to get our names out there. :)

Friday:

We had district meeting! which took up most of the day. In our district we have Elder Odette, (Our district leader) Elder Knapp, Elder Lovell and Elder Barnes. All of whom are very nice.After we got home we walked across the street and talked with our landlords mom for a bit who is a very sweet lady.

Saturday:

We mostly just visited members so that I could get to know some of them before I went to church on Sunday. Everyone here is super sweet and super nice! I love this area so much. After that we went home and did our studies :)

Sunday:

What an amazing day! We went to church and we had to teach Sunday school and young womens. During young womens there was 4 non members there! We were able to talk to one girl named Natalie. She is so ready for the gospel and was asking a lot of questions about lots of stuff. We told her about Joseph Smith and gave her a Book of Mormon. She wanted us to come and teach her more! After church we went over to JJ's Graduation party and then went to a lesson. We taught this older women named heather. We taught her the Restoration and she loved everything that we were talking about. The spirit was so strong and we were able to put her on date for June 23! A day after my birthday! It was so amazing. After that we went home and did our studies and went to bed.

I am loving this area so much and the people here in Kentucky are so nice! I know that this church is true and that I am here for a reason.

Keep safe and keep smiling y'all!

Love,

Sister Jensen

Scripture of the week:

Alma 12:37

"And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness. I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them."
