I hope y'all had a fantastic week!! Is it really August? Man, that is crazy how fast time is flying by! The work here in Jamestown, Tennessee is blossoming and blooming! God is good! I also wanted to tell those who are still reading my weekly emails thank you for sticking with me these last 13 months! Yuns are incredible! Well, without further adew here is what happenend this week!
Monday- Monday was a fun day! We went over to Courtney's (a member in our ward) to play games with her for her last day in Tennessee, she was going to move back to Utah for school. We are going to miss her a lot! After that we went over to her sister Samantha' s to play pie face. It was a lot of fun too! After pday, we had a lesson with Kristy and Aaron. It went pretty well, ooh I just love those two dearly!
Tuesday- we helped out at the food bank again. It was fun! Other than that we just went contacting and finding alot as well.
Wednesday- we had a lesson with Linda and it didn't really go so well. We just went over and tried to see if she was intrested in learning and being baptised she said that she was already baptised and she is not intrested in learning more. So, we had to make that decision to drop her... I was pretty sad about it but I know that she would be able to make it back to the gospel one day.
While we were tracting we actually was able to tract into one of our investigators whom, we havnt been able to get a address for. Cool thing is is that I saw a street and I felt good about it, and decided to go! He was very nice and wanted us to come by again!
Thursday- We had Zone Confrence!! I loved this zone confrence! One cool thing that I loved about it is that it talked alot about being diligent and working hard. One thing that our Zone is doing is picking a Christ like attribute and work on it that week. So, I picked to work on patience at the very beginning but the next day I felt the need to change it so I decided to work on diligence instead. (This is before I even knew about what our zone confrence was all about.) It so happend to be that this meeting was all about diligence! What?
Here are some of my favorite quotes from it.
▪"Smile more because Jesus Christ wants us too!"-Emma Pickett(President Picketts daughter)
▪ "When we do the things that are being asked, it is being asked by God to do so."- Elder Hancock
▪ "When we don't think of him ( the savior) and others thats when we are not truly happy!"- President Pickett
▪"President recieves revelation and he does it! He follows it!" - Elder Barnes
Friday- We almost put Brownie on date!! It was great! Sister Cook (the amazing bishops wife) came out with us for a team up and shared her incredible testimony! When we asked Brownie if he wanted to be baptised he said that he will have to think about it. I am really hopeing he does! It will be so good for him and his grandson Ethan!
Saturday- We went and did a whole bunch of OYMing( Open your mouth) at the biggest yard sale in the world!! (127 yard sale) on Saturday. It was almost tiring. Lol but we were able to hand out a bunch of cards to people. Later that evening we had a Facebook lesson with Brianna and it was chaotic. Lol she was distracted and had a hard time paying attention but over all that I think it went okay. Haha she is still really excited for her baptism that is coming up!
Sunday- We were able to go to church today and we we have the opportunity to fast. During sacrament meeting Kristy got up and bore her testimony for the first time in her life! I was so happy that she did and I was so proud of her for doing so.She also stayed the full 3 hours of church. She is just amazing! After church we are able to visit a bunch of people and try to attend a Baptist Church to see if we can find some investigators that we tracted into. But come to find out that they wernt there but that's okay. Going to that church made me realize that how grateful I am for this gospel and the fact that I know that families can be together forever is a blessing to me.
As you can see that this week has just been increadible and I am loving this area so much! I know that this gospel is true and that the book of mormon is the currect book of all!
I love y'all so much and hope that you have a fantastic week!
Love,
Sister Jensen
