#38 Trio Life!!

 ¡Hola! 


On Wednesday I went on an exchange with Elder Savage. He's from Pocatello Idaho 🥔 I got to have to phone that day. It was fun not having to drive because Vegas drivers are crazy 😬 I have seen the most insane moves over the past couple weeks. I've only almost gotten in a couple of accidents (most of them were not my fault). Some guy started merging into me on the freeway so I had to get out of the way very quickly. That traffic cone stood no chance 😎

Our friend Kamane is preparing for baptism on May 10th!! 🥳 She is so amazing! It seems like she's basically teaching us the lessons. We were talking about Joseph Smith and she told us that she had done her own research on him which got us a little nervous. But then she went on to testify how he was a prophet of God and the reason people have misconceptions on him is because they just don't read 😆 She is so ready and it's so exciting to see the Lord working in her!

The trio life has definitely been a party. It's probably the most fun I've had on my mission. Covering three wards is pretty insane. My area is basically a quarter of Vegas which is enormous.

Yesterday we had MLC (mission leadership council). It was just a little intimidating being around so many amazing missionaries, but it was really good! Being able to serve my fellow missionaries makes me so happy! I also got to see both of my trainers, Elder Judd and Elder Hansen 😊 It was a pretty good time.

We have so amazing friends who really want to be baptized, but have a few obstacles in the way. So if y'all could pray for Maddy, Cheri, and Julie, that would be amazing 🙏

Something that I read this week that really stuck out to me was the Nephites response to seeing the Savior and feeling the prints in His hands and feet. "17 Hosanna! Blessed be the name of the Most High God! And they did fall down at the feet of Jesus, and did worship him."
I just love the joy that they felt. I also feel this joy every time I testify of Jesus Christ. There's nothing more joyful that learning more about what Jesus Christ has done for us! 

Go read the Book of Mormon!

#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 ...
