#43 Running it Back 😎

 Another week in the service of God!


We had Zone conference on Thursday and it was the best zone conference in such a long time! All of the trainings were so good! We talked about having the faith to baptize, answering the call to serve, and giving everything each and every day. Also our zone won the zone v zone activity.  Spring Mountain on top!! ⛰️ It was also President's last zone conference so it was so spiritual. Almost everyone was crying 😭😭 I also had my last interview with him right after zone conference. I'm so thankful for President Nielsen and his example and Christlike service. I know one of the reasons I was called to this mission was to serve under him for these 10 months. 🥲

I got to go on a couple exchanges this past week. On Wednesday I was with Elder Staheli and then on Saturday me and Elder Jensen ran it back in Spanish Hills. Both were so much fun 😁 Me and Elder Jensen went to Shaqs Chicken restaurant called Big Chicken 🐔 It was crazy expensive but it was pretty good.

Sorry this email is kinda short. Not too much else happened this week. We were super busy this week but we still saw so many miracles. Me and Elder Rogers are living the life right now 😎 Nothing better than serving the Lord

16 And it came to pass that Alma and Amulek, Amulek having forsaken all his gold, and silver, and his precious things, which were in the land of Ammonihah, for the word of God, he being rejected by those who were once his friends and also by his father and his kindred;

I really like thus verse from Alma. I love the example of Amulek. He gave everything to the Lord. He gave up everything that he had to go serve God. I have found that when we do give everything to Him, that's when we'll be the happiest we can be.

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 ...
