This week was good! I am absalutly loving the Farragut area! It is super difficult because there are tons of wealthy folks that live here and they are not as receptive as the other folks that I am used to, but for the most part they are super sweet and loving towards us, just not intrested in learning more. I am also absalutly LOVING Sister Noble! She is just the cutest human being ever and is so tender hearted! She is one of my best friends! We sing together we laugh and tell jokes and just have alot of fun! Anyways, now that I am done rambling about Farragut and Sister Noble, here is how my week went.
Monday- transfers!!! It was so fun to see all of my mission friends and say goodbye to some of my favorite missionaries that were leaving, but also great because I was able to meet Sister Noble! Haha After Transfers I was able to get all unpacked and then we went to see a couple of Sister Ogden's recent converts. (Sister Ogden was with us for a couple of days because she is going to be training this next transfer and they didn't arrive until Wednesday.) I am excited to get to know them these next few weeks.
Tuesday- Pday!!! Pday was great! We chilled at the apartment in the morning and did some laundry and then went and did some shopping. After shopping we went over to the church to hang out. (Like usual) There we played chair soccer, scrap ball, P.I.G, Nerf and a card game called Exploding Kittens. After pday we had dinner with this sweet family in our ward.
Wednesday- We said goodbye to Sister Ogden and wished her luck in her new area and training, then we went tracting and did a couple of contact attempts. Not alot of success. But it was alright.
Thursday- We tracted for most of the day, and after that we took a quick break and visited with this cute old couple who are less active in our ward. I found out that they were French so they have super cool accents! They were super sweet! Then we did some more contact attempts and tracting.
Friday- We did alot of tracting today as usual. Then we went over to visit one of our investigators, Miss Marti. Miss Marti has been investigating the church for 2 or 3 years on and off and is just the sweetest old lady ever. You would not think that she is her age because she is just so spunky and avtive. I just love her. So, please pray for her progression.
Saturday- Sister Noble and I started off the day with a baptism that Sister Noble gave a talk and we had to fill up the font. (It was not anyone that we were Tea ching it was just for these 2 little 8 year old girls in our ward.) After the baptism we...yep... you geussed it... went tracting.
Sunday- We had a great day! It was lots of fun! We went to church. It was cool to hear all of the primary kids sing all those Christmas songs. Fun fact of the day: President Pickett is in our ward now. It is really weird and fun to see them at church! After that we had a set lesson planned with one of our investigators named Paige. She is only 12 and her dad is okay if we teach her. We went over there and she (of course) happened to not be home. Which was a bummer. Then we went and did our studies and went Christmas Caroling with this sweet member in our ward. It was a blast. Then we had dinner with some members and went home.
I am so greatful for this gospel in my life today. I know that this is the true church on this earth and that Jesus Christ died for our sins. Looking back at my mission and the people I have met while I've been out, makes me so glad that I was able to be so blessed to have been raised in this gospel.
With Christmas coming up, I encourage y'all to think about our saviour even when times are busy. Never forget the reason for Christmas. Without our savior we wouldn't even have this holiday.
Be safe and have a wonderful Christmas!
Merry Christmas!!!
Love,
Sister Jensen.
