#31 The Valley of the Shadow of Death

 How's it going? This was a pretty normal week, which means it was pretty amazing 😊

We had Zone conference on Wednesday and it was amazing as always 🔥 I got to see both my mission dads and my son! All the trainings were so amazing and th3 spirit was so strong! After that we drove back to Pahrump in the rain 🌧  I've kinda missed the rain because it hardly rains out here. Also they still haven't given the official results for the clean car award but we think we could have won it because out soccer mom van was pretty darn clean.

Our mission president recently received revelation that everyone needs to be biking more. So our miles got cut so much. And this week we had a lot of bike problems so we're already half way through our miles this month and we're just a third of the way through the month 😬 So we're going to be doing a lot biking the rest of the month. And Pahrump was not built for biking. So it'll be fun 😁 

We had a lot of people say they were going to come to church, but not many came. But at least we had 1! Shoutout Philip! A couple of our friends have been struggling recently so if y'all could keep Jimmy and Eddie in your prayers that would be great 😊 Eddie was going to come to church, but he forgot about the time change 😢 But he'll be there next week.

Speaking of the time change, at first I wasn't happy because we got one less hour of sleep. But now it's bright until like 7! So even if something doesn't seem great, instead of getting frustrated, just look at the brightside instead.

Today we went to Death Valley national park and it was pretty cool! There were a lot of rocks 😁 But honestly it was pretty cool and I got a cool shirt. It also reminded me of this scripture from Psalms
"Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me."
No matter what we are going through, the Lord is always with us. We have no need to fear because the Lord is always near! 

Have a great week!
Elder Jensen

#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 ...
