Wow, I can't believe that another week has flown by or the fact that it's September! That's just crazy to me to think that. It's fun thought because alot of people have their Halloween/fall decorations up! Also, the leaves are starting to change color! I am so excited to spend another fall here in Tennessee! Anyway, sorry about that huge ramble but here is how my week went.
Tuesday was a really good but weird day. We were able to contact a lot of people! We had a ton of referrals from the fair so that is basically what we did. We gave the winner the picture of Christ and he was smiling and told us that he had never won any thing before. It really made my day of how happy he was.
On that same day we saw a lady in a really long skirt out burning leaves and branches. The weird part about this moment was that there were a bunch of chickens and a baby cow on her property. We went over and talked to her anyway and while we were talking to her, her gigantic chickens/ Turkey's came running towards us and just started doing what chickens did. The lady wasn't interested because she said that she believed in Yaway (God) being her "creator". That's okay though because later that day we had a awesome lesson with our investigator Collin.
Thursday we had a lesson with one of our investigators Sissy. She is so cute and so nice. She kept telling us how greatful and how appreciative she is with the way that she is living. When we got to her apartment complex she opened the door and said, "welcome to my mansion". I was confused about it at first but come to find out that the past year she was living with her mom and a bunch of other people. So, it felt huge to her being there alone. She kept telling us that she was so happy that she could cry. During that lesson that night she kept saying how much she loved the "Mormon" church and how she missed it and that she wants to get baptised so bad! So, that night we out her on date for the 22. I am so excited for her. At the end of her lesson she taught me to be thankful for the small and simple things and to never take anything for granted.
Okay, funny story time! On Friday at 2:30 in the morning our fire/carbon monoxide alarm went off. We got up to turn it off and looked around. We didn't see any smoke or nothing so we automatically thought that it was the carbon monoxide. Now, my whole mission I've been hearing stories about missionaries dying because of carbon monoxide in there apartment. So, aturally we freaked out and called 911 to have someone come over to check our apartment. It came to be that the battery was just low and that nothing was in our apartment to harm us. All is well. Haha we didn't sleep well that night. lol but we had a pretty good day after that though.
Saturday we went to albany Kentucky and found 6 new investigators after tracting for 3 hours. It was a pretty good day.
On Sunday a miracle happened. I was able to go with a member to pick up our investigator Jessica up for church. When we got to the church building in the chapel I saw Sissy there too!! I was so happy that both of our baptismal dates where able to show up.
Well, that is basically all I want to talk about! I hope y'all have a fantastic week! I love my savior and I love this gospel!
Talk to y'all next week! Love you!
Love,
Sister McKenzie Jensen
