This week was kind of a weird week.
Monday, we had FHE with the bishop and his wife. There was a bon-fire and we made homemade ice cream and it was so much fun! It was a really good way to get to know and meet more people! They are doing it again this week.
On Wednesday we had lock down staring at 8pm and then went into the next day due to Hurricane Michael. When it hit us, it had been downgraded to a tropical storm so #blessing!
During the lock down, Sister Tucker taught me how to play Pokemon and it was more fun than I thought it would be! Call it beginners luck but I won! During a lock down, if you are ever wondering, it is just a lot of sleeping, studying, coloring, eating, and game playing! Thank you Mom for all the Halloween coloring things because we had a lot of fun with those!
After lock down we went to a lot of members houses’ and we started talking about having a “Welcome Sunday”! A “Welcome Sunday” is where we get the ward to invite their non-member friends and then we have sacrament about a topic that everyone understands and that is not too deep and we sing songs that are uplifting. During third hour we have a social type event where we all get together and mingle and the people who came have also have an opportunity to talk to others and make friends, so when they come again they will know a lot more people! It will be super dope when it happens.
We drove to the Conway area and had interviews with our mission president and it went really good! We then stayed there with our STL's and went to a stake Women’s conference the next day. Sister Heidi Swenten (To the Rescue author) spoke! It was such a good devotional about how we need to start seeing the Heavens open and the blessing pour out upon us! After we talked to her and her husband a lot! They are so sweet!
Sunday was good. Meetings were only an hour then we watched some of the general women's conference with a recent convert! She loved it and it was great! That same day, to save miles, we rode bikes to President Harvey's house and did a lesson with them! They are so funny! He collects Halloween decorations and then he sang to us on his karaoke machine. His wife just laughed and said he does performances all the time for her!
This week was super good! We found out that Elder Bednar is coming and speaking to our stake so hopefully we get to go!
A good talk to read this week is Be Meek and Lowly of Heart.
Well I love y'all and have a blessed week!
Love,
Sister Jensen
