Sorry about last week....

 Sorry ' bout last week guys! It was memorial day down here and so everything was shut down!

This week was fast but weird!

We didn't teach warren unfortunately. When we stopped by he seemed kinda standoff -ish which was sad... but we talked to his daughter at church and she said he was still reading and listening to the Book of Mormon. So that was a relief!

We did teach Jaime and Rebekah and Ethan this week about how the church is designed and set up to help families and to raise children the right way.  Jaime has a very strong opinion that the way most children are raised is the wrong way and they need more discipline. hahah so we have been addressing that and playing on it. Hoping to make a connection.

 We also had a very interesting experience at McDonald's hahah. Yup imagine that something happened at McDonalds.

So we were sitting there in the same booth we always do. Ordering from the same workers we always do. Eating the same food we always do. Talking about the same stuff we always do when some one new appears!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND addresses us as "Elders?" and we responded"yup that'd be us" this guy explains a little bit about who he is. That he's a less active member of the Church and he just got out of jail for something he didn't do and says he is having a rough go and stuff and we are getting ready for "could you spare a dollar?" (even though he doesn't look like he needs one) when he asks us if he can use our cell phone. We are like "yeah??? i guess" its not a question we get often hahah. so he makes a call and while he is doing so( it took like 30 minutes) his 'fiance' ( who looks like she is 15-16 ) introduces herself and starts telling us all about the struggles they have been going through... turns out she not not 16... just looks like it hahah...... and they had to leave her mom's place because of another guy that was living there and all this weird stuff. anyway The Guy using the phone was able to get in contact with the people he needed to and hopefully they are doing a lot better now... maybe we will see them at McDonalds again and I will know... but I doubt it.  Anyway really made me greatful for being raised in Small town SoAb where everybody knows everybody!

Hopefully that made sense haha sorry if it didn't.

Love

Memorial Day Photos from Elder Jensen

Got a few photos from our missionary son this week.....but nothing for details.  Looks like he is trying his hand at the sport that his sister loves so much.....Also looks like good people are taking good care of him.  He looks happy! What else could a mom hope for?

Catch up from a few weeks!

Yup so this week was windy and cold again... like really windy for here and colder than Canada  I guarantee it.... Whose idea was California anyway... there's not even anything cool here or anything like that hahahaha jk

I Actually love it here!

So this week when we taught Warren we just read out of the Book Of Mormon with him... He hasn't read on his own and it kinda hard for him to because he is almost blind... but we did get him a big one.. so he should be able to read it... anyway him not reading is kinda frustrating... so that is that

This week we had President interviews!...not much to report on that. we talked alot about commitment , our commitment, my commitment, our investigators commitments and all that jazz it was really good.

It was also my comps Birthday this week so we had cake and cupcakes and cinnamon rolls given to us which was nice... but super unhealthy hahah

Love y'all!! Stay safe and have fun!

It was an interesting week... the regular spiced up with some irregular.

We weren't able to teach Warren this week... Either he wasn't home or " It wasn't a good time" when we try'd to see him. so that was sad... but he did say we could come back this week.

We were able to teach Rebekah and Ethan but Jaime left the room and didn't seem to interested :(

BUT! Rebekah did pressure Ethan to read out of the B. o. M. and invited her friend to come back to church with her! SO it was Awesome to see the missionary spirit spread !! 

We have been playing a little more Basketball recently. There is a young man preparing for  mission, a less active young man who used to want to go on  a mission and some potentials/ Friends that we play with it has been pretty fun!

Sunday was the highlight of my week! We were able to skype home and talk with our families! It was awesome to see them again!! We also had dinner that night with a convert lady and her husband. She is preparing to got through the temple and then they will be sealed together for time and all eternity! She has two kids from a different marriage and they are the funniest hahah The older boy is 11 but acts way more mature which is actually really nice to see! and the girl is like 6 and super funny hahah.

We walked a lot this week because it was crazy windy... like almost SOAB status! crazy windy! hahah all good though!

Well this is it
