#52 Transfers Once Again

 Happy August everyone!!


I cannot believe that July is already done! It still hasn't been insanely hot like I thought it would be. But now as soon as I say that I know it's going to be crazy hot the next couple months 🥵

This week was pretty great! We saw so many miracles and found many new people! It was really awesome. The Lord was definitely working with us. But then none of them came to church 🥲 But there's always next week!!! 

We got transfer news and I'll be honest it definitely wasn't what I expecting. They gave out transfer news late on Sunday so instead of the APs giving us our transfer news, they just sent out a document with all the details on it. And here's my details 😁




So basically my companions are the APs but I only spend P-days with them. The rest of the time I'll be on 2-3 day exchanges with missionaries all over the mission. It's going to be an insane transfer. I get to sleep on an air mattress or the floor for the next 6 weeks! My back probably won't be to happy, but I know I'm probably going to learn so much. It's going to be interesting not having an area and just going around the whole mission. But if the Lord knows I can do it, I know He'll help me. And I'll definitely need that help 🙏

Almost all my mission friends are going home this transfer. I'm going to miss all of them especially my trainer Elder Judd 🥲 It's crazy that I'm one of the older missionaries now

I've been reading recently in the book of John. I love John 1:39
"39 He saith unto them, Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour."
I love how Jesus invites all of us to come and see. We don't have to rely on others' testimonies. We can come and see Him for ourselves. When we make the effort to come and see Him, we will come closer to Him and we will each gain our own testimony of His divinity. Jesus lives!!

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 ...
