The one with exchanges!

Hello my wonderful family and friends!!!

Monday- pday!! We did the norm and had dinner at a members house and tried a couple of people. 

Tuesday- We had district meeting! Then we went tracting and found this really cool lady named Lucrecia. She is so cute!! She let us right in! After we found her we found this younger girl names Joyjoy. Who 5 days earlier moved here from Bangladesh! Crazy! She accepted a Book of Mormon and let us talk to her about the Restoration. Which was surprising because her dad is a preacher of another faith! So that was pretty sweet! After tracting we went to institute. There we were able to play Bingo with the YSA and I won a black out!!! It was awesome! 

Wednesday- We went tracting again. (Suprise suprise.) And tried our investigator Kathleen who as soon as we started talking to bible bashed us and said that we were wrong about our beliefs, so finally we just said "yeah, we are going to go. Thank you for your time!" And headed out the door because we did not feel good about being there! It was awful! Haha after Kathleen's we went to Mutural because a member in our ward wanted us to meet a possible investigator that he had! We were able to meet her! Her name is Sarah! She is so cool! She was actually doing a report for her school about a religion and she happened to pick Mormonism! So she called up a member and asked if she can interview them for her paper. She said that she was reading the BOM on her phone and is on chapter 20 of 1 Nephi and loves it so far so she wanted a hard copy of it! From what I can tell she has a lot of potential! Hopefully she will come to church one of these Sundays. 

Thursday-  We had interviews with President Pickett! Which went good! (Its hard to believe that that was my 2nd to last interview with him!) After interviews we did service at the old folks home and painted the old ladies nails. Which was fun! We also had a lesson with Mary and Dolly! Mary is doing good and progressing well! She still wants to get baptised! Which is good! She is so cute! After Mary and Dolly's we went tracting some more and went to YSA correlation. 

Friday- we had Power ups!!! I had the opportunity to spend the day with Sister Allen! She is so cute! What an intresting exchange that was. While on the exchanges we got to meet Leah finally! (The one that called us back over a pass along card!) She is the sweetest and loved every word that we said! She even accepted to be baptised, but she said that she wanted to pray about it first before she sets a date. After Leah's we were pulling out of the grass which was very muddy because it had been raining alot that day and all of the sudden our car got stuck!!! So, we were stuck for about 20 minutes before the elders came and helped us. Which they couldn't help us get out so we had to call a member. We were stuck for about an hour and 15 minutes! I'm so greatful for nice people to help us out!  

Saturday- we did some service at the humanity center and the. Went tracting!!! 

Sunday- Today was a long day! The Harrison Bay ward  along with two other wards got split! We found out that we are no longer called the Harrison Bay ward. We are called the Collegedale Branch now. Which is very intresting! We don't know what we are supposed to be doing for the next two weeks of the transfer. Haha. But its good though because the lord will work things out! After church we were able to watch the Christmas devotional at the Brondiacks! It was so good! I'm so grateful that I have the oppertunity to hear the prophet speak to us and that we have modern day prophets in the world today! 

I love this gospel, I love the lord and I have a strong faith in Jesus Christ!

Have a great week! I love y'all!! 

Love, Sister Jensen
