#58, 59 It's 4th Quarter

 It's been a wild last couple of weeks!


Last week we had a special zone conference with Elder and Sister Dunn from the seventy. It was really good! They talked about being spiritually fit and we were can be diligent in enduring to the end. We also had a special MLC where they taught us about the difference between a leader and a manager. It was really inspiring and helped me want to be better.

I got to go to Mandarin branch Sacrament meeting a couple Sundays ago. Obviously I didn't really understand anything they were saying, but it's just so cool to see ordinances done in different languages. God's work is progressing!! 

Last week we had transfers. This transfer I'll be kinda doing the same thing but also not. I'll be traveling for half the transfer and then the other half I will have an area which I'm pretty excited about 😆 My companions are Elder Gurr, Elder Taumoepeau, and Elder Trevenan. Two of us will be out traveling and two of us will be in the area at a time. It'll be interesting but it'll also be really good.

I got to start of the transfer with an exchange! I was with Elders Savino and Cirio. They are some of the funniest people I've met in my entire life. We laughed so much. We kept it pretty focused on the work though. Any time we felt we weren't working as hard as we should we'd just say "It's 4th quarter!" and that would get us working hard again. It's crazy to think that it is the last days so we need to be very diligent so we can invite all to feel the joy that comes from Christ 😇

My friend Julie from my last area got baptized on Saturday 🥳🥳🥳 It was so awesome! We brought a friend from our area to go and he felt the Spirit so strong! Julie is such a great example to me of a devoted disciple of Jesus Christ. She has overcome so many obstacles to get to where she's at now. You could just feel the joy radiating off her. Congratulations Julie!

"5 And now, as the preaching of the word had a great tendency to lead the people to do that which was just—yea, it had had more powerful effect upon the minds of the people than the sword, or anything else, which had happened unto them—therefore Alma thought it was expedient that they should try the virtue of the word of God."

There's nothing more powerful than the word of God. If you're not already, make sure to read the Book of Mormon every single day! It will change your life! 

Have a good one!

#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 ...
