Tuesday was the BEST day so far because we had Elder Bednar come and speak to us as an entire mission! It was like a questions and answer and not like a conference talk! It was really cool to see how an apostle is outside of conference and how funny Elder Bednar is! A lot of what was said was we need to be focusing on what is not said and what is heard by the spirit! Then we got to shake his hand and...LET ME TELL YOU it was kinda terrifying to shake his hand! He looked me in the eyes and I felt like he knew everything about me and it was a scary thought but a really cool feeling!
This week we worked a lot with our investigators to do some of their family history! It was pretty fun to do! We had one lady bring her husband and they were both really interested and we were able to help her find her grandpa and she got so excited! Another girl said that the next time we meet she is going to being her sister and her fiancé so that they can know where they came from! Family history is such an awesome tool that we have to use and it really helps people come closer to their family and come closer to Christ!
We went finding the other day and we met a guy named KP and he was really cool! We were walking and he was playing his saxophone so we just started to talk to him and he was really nice! He asked us a ton of questions and we talked to him for like an hour straight. The main thing that he wants is he proof that there is a God without using faith, so it's a weird concept to try and help him learn. At the end of us talking he told us he has asked a lot of other religions this same type of questions and they didn't answer it as gracefully as we did! I just wanted to tell him that it is because it's the truth. He is going to come to Book of Mormon class so it should be pretty interesting!
The ward party was a lot of fun and it was so nice to meet a lot of the members! The kids were a little crazy and just wanted us to chase them but we got them under control! Sunday was pretty good because it was actually 3 hours, the past couple of weeks it has only been an hour due to hurricane cleanup! I didn't think I would miss all three hours of church but I did! We have been helping a member set up their Halloween decorations and they have a TON of things to set up so it was nice to help them out!
Next week p-day will be on Thursday because we are going to the temple!
A song to listen to this week is Carrie Underwood Nearer my God to Thee! It is a good, good song!
Well I love y'all and I hope y'all have a blessed week!
Love,
Sister Jensen
