#44 God is Good

 God is good! This was such a good week!


Our friend Linda was baptized on Saturday! It was so awesome. She's been coming to church for 25 years and she finally decided it was time to become a member of Christ's church. There were so many people at the baptism. Linda is a pretty goofy person. When she got in the water she said, "I'm catholic now but not for long!" She bore her testimony in church the next day and it was so spiritual. She's one of my favorite people I've worked with in my mission.

We had a dinner with a member who decided it wasn't fair that we always come in and mooch off members' food. So he decided he'd teach us how to make a pristine steak. It was actually one of the funnest members meals I've ever had. We stayed too late though. Oops 😬 

On Saturday we got a media referral. We reached out and invited her to church. The next daybshe filled out another media referral but this one was about baptism. So the Lord prompted us to invite her to be baptized over text. And she accepted 🥳🥳 We had a lesson yesterday about the restoration. It was one of the most spiritual lessons I've ever had! She recognized by herself that she was feeling the spirit when we talked about prophets and Joseph Smith. It was so awesome 😁

Sunday night we had a music devotional put on by our mission. There were so many people there and again, the spirit was so strong. It was a literal downpour of the Spirit 🌧  I sang in the mission choir and I think it sounded pretty good 😅

Because this was a short transfer, we get transfer news this Sunday. I really hope that I stay one more with Elder Rogers here in Spanish Hills 🤞 But obviously, whatever the Lord wants is right.

"37 Now my brethren, we see that God is mindful of every people, whatsoever land they may be in; yea, he numbereth his people, and his bowels of mercy are over all the earth. Now this is my joy, and my great thanksgiving; yea, and I will give thanks unto my God forever. Amen."

God is aware of you! He loves you so much! Keep trusting in Him and in His timing! A life focused on Christ is the most joyful life possible!

Have a good one!
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 ...
