#24 Interior Designing

 What's up? I hope y'all are doing well!


On Wednesday we had exchanges with the Zone Leaders. It was super awesome! He's 28 years old and he's super smart so I learned so much from him. We did some service for some recent converts where they had us reorganize their living room. So basically I'm an interior designer now. They kept asking what we though looked good and we didn't really have any idea, but we moved a bunch of stuff around and they said it looked great 🤷‍♂️ Maybe I need to go into interior designing. They also had a fish tank and one of decorations inside was the Dory Disney infinity character. That kind of hurt my soul because I love Disney infinity.

Also it was even colder this week than last week. The wind was insane. I'm probably just a baby because it still is like 50 degrees every day. I'm going to get back in a couple years and absolutely freeze to death. Vegas winters are not for faint of heart through. 

On Sunday we were calling some of our friends and one of them asked if we could come over so he could give us some clothes that don't fit him anymore. We went over there and we ended up cleaning his closet because one of his shelves broke and clothes were all over the place. We spent an hour folding all his stuff. I don't know why he was comfortable with us touching all of his stuff but I guess he was. 

 We went over to this members house who is getting ready to move. She told us her family had been trying to get her to move for a while but she never wanted to because she had Jesus on her floor. We were super confused but then she took us inside and showed us a part of her wood floor that really did look like Jesus. I'll attach a picture. She told us she first noticed that it looked like Jesus there at the hardest time of her life. It was a great reminder that Jesus Christ is always there for us now matter what 😊

In my personal study I've been in the war chapters in Alma. I find it so interesting the difference between the Nephites and the Lamanites. The Lamanites were always so angry with the Nephites. They were motivated by anger and a want for power. The Nephites were motivated by a love of God and of their families. Because of that the Lord was always with the Nephites and they were successful when they remembered the Lord. And even when they were in times of peace the Nephites were always preparing. They were ready for the attacks of the Lamanites because they were always prepared. If we always prepare ourselves for the attacks of the adversary, we will be ready for when the temptations come and they won't be able to defeat us. 

Hope yall have a great week!

#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 ...
