My name is Melvin but my friends call me Stud

Melvin is an older guy at the flea market who just talks and talks to us. He says that we are some of the nicest people he knows and he can tell we care about him (which is true!).

This week was super good! We had the traveling sisters (travel around and train other sisters on new things that our mission president is trying out) with us for two days. It was a lot to learn and work on but super fun!

We are teaching two new people and one super promising guy. 

We found a girl named “E” who is in high school and she is just the sweetest thing. The only issue is that we need to get parent permission because she is 17, but hopefully they will say yes! 

The other person we met is “P”! She is a nurse and super cool. She was talking about how heaven is for real and she said how she felt the spirit and knew it was real. I told her to watch “The Cokeville Miracle” if she wanted to really feel the spirit strong. She loved the Book of Mormon and said she wants to learn more, so score! 

We met another super promising guy named "D" who totally dadded us but was really interested. We have questions we ask people when we are at the flea market and then we talk about the question they like so we did that with him. We introduced the Book of Mormon and read about Alma and Amulek and the people in the fire (super intense story to share). He said he liked the story and could relate to it! So he accepted the Book of Mormon and wanted to take us to lunch to talk more. We got a text later that night about how he answered the questions and how he has a lot more questions now and how he is excited to meet with us. He then told us neighborhoods we should avoid and he is just super nice!

We had zone conference this week and it was super cool and really spiritual! We talked a lot about aligning preisthood keys and how we can help the alignment and I learned a lot more about preisthood. 

I guess I'll talk about hurricane Florence. Right now we are far enough inland that we shouldn't be affected by it. It should hit Thursday and then we will be on lockdown. We are safe and nothing bad is happening. The areas that will be hit more harshly are being evacuated and we might get more sisters with us. If we need to evacuate we will go to Columbia. We are prepared and ready for whatever happens! 

A good read this week would be the Saint’s book! I haven't finished all of it but what I have read of it is super good!

Well, I love y'all stay safe and have a blessed week!

Love, 

Sister Jensen
