We have a baptism this week!!!

So this week was nuts.... I feel like I say that a lot.... so I say that alot?

anyway... Monday evening we got a call from our Relief society president. She had just ran into Kenny and Sabrina. an Kenny had told her that he was being baptized on Wednesday... like last week Wednesday. And she was like wait??? what? so she called us. We were kinda feeling like Kenny wasn't interested because he seemed to be dodging us. But we called him and talked with him and then went to his house and taught him all of the commandments in one night.. in one hour more specifically. Thankfully he is already living all of the commandments so that made our life a lot easier! We decided he couldn't be baptized on Wednesday, but we will be baptizing him on this  Saturday! He had his interview on Wednesday and passed. So we are good to go!

Wednesday we did a big service project out at a squash farm... it was super cool becuase the AppleValley Newspaper was there and some sisters in our zone got on the front page of the paper!!

Then on thursday we went on exchanges with the assistants. I was down in Rancho one last time with Elder Findlay ( he is some how related to Melissa Kriszan's husband). We had a great day and handed out an entire stack of cards... thats like 50 I think. It was amazing.

Friday we just planned and tried some potentials.

Saturday we tried to sort out our new phone and plan for a meeting we have to lead about the new phones that we got. the new phones suck. hahah they are pretty much the same as the old ones except for they are with AT&T instead of Sprint so we might actually have service, but the contacts don't transfer very well... and they have a terrible operating system... anyway....

Then we went to 7-11's BYO Cup day. the pics are of the tin I used... it was like 3 gallons I think hahah don't worry I didn't eat it all hahah

Sunday Kenny and Sabrina came to church and we were surprised with Lyn and Lanice at church as well! and Then taylor showed up in the YSA ward too! it was a great Sunday!

Love you lots

A week of CRAZY busy!

So this week was NUTS!!

On Monday we actually had to proselyte all day... BUT we did find a new investigator in the YSA ward. His name is Justin and he is super prepared! We just have to actually teach him more. He is already living the Word of Wisdom and Law of chastity ( with out us teaching him) and he believes in keeping the Sabbath day holy and refuses to work on Sundays!!! so that is amazing!

Tuesday we had zone meeting! it was really good!  We talked a lot about being prepared to teach our investigators and how we should teach them. It was really good.

Wednesday was our trip to the temple. It was so nice to be able to go again!!

Thursday was a semi normal day... we just worked. We taught a couple people. Pretty normal day.

Friday was a crazy day full of planning and errands. We had to take our car in for and oil change and ended up enimg there for like.......4 hours.... they took there sweet time...and after they told us we could go the called and asked our vehicle coordinator if they could change our air filter so then we stayed some more... it was frustrating to say the least...

Saturday- WE HAD A CONFERENCE WITH ELDER BEDNAR AND HIS WIFE!!!!! We learned a lot from them and it was such a good day. One of the things he taught us was about using scriptural language. so I guess you could say we were filled with exceeding joy, even to exceed our pains and sorrows! it was so cool... i can't even begin to describe what it is like be ministered to by an Apostle of the Lord. especially as he promises and prophesies to you!!!

Sunday- Stake Conference and then regular proselyting which was a change from a regular Sunday 

at the Redlands California Temple

Elders ?, Conner, Smith and Jensen

some fog on the way down the hill

Shenanigans of a week

 So this week was nuts! it seems like I never have time to do Missionary stuff.... I am more of a mail man it seems..... but oh well.

Monday was a transfer day.... it went as expected.. so not too terribly.

Tuesday we had district meeting. We attended one with a district leader who is new to his role this transfer. He did and amazing job for it being his first meeting and only having like 36 hours notice to plan it. It was super spiritual. Then we had lunch and reported numbers. Then we headed down the hill to the mission office to pick up Elder Mitchell and his greenie Elder Jeppsen. By time we got back up we went straight to dinner and then after that to give a blessing at a hospital... but the person wasn't there. so that was frustrating.

Wednesday - We took a guy from the YSA ward out with us for most of the day. We weren't able to see anyone in the YSA but we did take him to Douglas! It was a really good lesson. 

Thursday we had to run down the hill again to get supplies for the desert. Then we taught Tyler from the YSA ward. It was a decent lesson. After that we taught Lyn and L ... I hope that they have real intent... but I am worried that they aren't committed.

Friday we had a leadership meeting with our district leaders and then started exchanges with one that lives like and hour and a half away. I had an amazing day with a newer-ish missionary who was trained in my second ward. We had some good reminiscing to do. We also found two new investigators. Their names are Cecilia and Jina. Both were miracle finds. We had a lesson fall through and I didn't know what to do for the next half hour. I looked across the street and saw an apartment complex that I had tracted before. I remembered that there were a few people that were kind of interested. So I was like I guess we can try them again and we found Cecilia. 

Saturday - we started out by trying Jina's neighbors( also a set appointment that fell through) but they weren't home.. so we knocked on Jina's door and she told us to come back in an hour which was when we were planning to tract so that was great time to come back. She was there and we taught her the restoration. She then asked us about a verse in acts and I was about to check out and then she said something about repentance and baptism by immersion. So we gave her a book of Mormon and told her to read 2 NE 31.

Sunday Douglas came to church!!!!! That is 3 weeks a row!

Life is good. We got some awesome news this week! In 2 weeks,  Elder Bednar will be vistiting our mission and we will have a mission wide conference with him!!!!!

SO LIFE IS GREAT!

Love

Elder Jensen
