#13 Spooky Zone Conference

 What's up?! I hope everyone is doing well!


Not too much happened this week so it'll probably be a short email. But let's get into it.

We had zone conference on Halloween and it was awesome! We talked a lot about the importance of having the faith to find, teach, and baptize. If we don't have the faith to find the people the Lord has prepared, we probably won't be able to find them. We also talked about the importance of recognizing the Spirit. It was also fun because now I know more people in the mission so I felt less awkward than last time. 

After that we only had like an hour and a half to go out because we had to be back in our apartment by 6:30. One of the senior missionaries Elder Baird came by and brought us some Halloween treats which was cool.

I went on an exchange with Elder Bennion on Saturday. We did a lot of service that day. I was shoveling rocks for so long that day. 

We also had stake conference this weekend which was really good. I saw Brother and Sister Forsberg there. It was cool to see people that I recognize from back home. We also had quite a few friends show up to church this week which was awesome! And we had some great lessons with them as well.

Also I very much dislike how it gets dark at 4:45 now. Because when it's dark everyone acts like it's 2 in the morning. Like I'm sorry but I doubt that you're actually getting ready for bed at 6PM. It just makes the work even harder. But the one hour of extra sleep on Sunday was very nice.

#10 Transfers and Dia de la Familia

  Andrew Jensen Oct 15, 2024, 6:51 PM (3 days ago) to  ande0822 , bcc:  me What's up everyone?! I hope you all had a fantastic last week. Mine was very eventful so let's get into that. First I'll start with the transfer news. Both me and Elder Judd were sorta transferred. He is now a zone leader and he has one of our wards (Alexander) and a Spanish ward. I have our other ward (Painted Desert) and then Mountain Crest. My wards are in two different stakes which is weird for my mission. My new companion is Elder Hansen. This transfer should be pretty good. It's also different because it's only 5 weeks because of Thanksgiving so it'll be pretty fast. I'm sad that I'm leaving my papi Elder Judd but Elder Hansen will be a great companion. This past transfer had been hard to find lessons, but this week we had so many miracles. We met new friends who are awesome and very interested in progressing. We had some great lessons this week. The best one was with this o...

#5-Viva Las Vegas

 What's up everyone!? This past week has definitely been crazy! There's been a lot that was good and a lot that was hard, but I guess that's missionary work for you. If you didn't hear last week, my first companion is Elder Judd who I went to high school with. It's been really fun to talk about home with him. He thinks it's really crazy that when he tells his stories I actually know who he's talking about   My first area is in the Meadows stake which is northwest Las Vegas. We cover two wards in that stake. If you guys have never been to Las Vegas and you want to know what it's like, just imagine Idaho, but like 10-15 degrees hotter and where you see grass, instead picture rocks and dirt. Other than that it's not too different from what I know. But the drivers are a lot crazier which has made for some fun car rides. But I guess I have seen a bit of grass because one area is a little more wealthy so they can afford to care for grass. Also most of the ...
