Enoela

Well this week was a very good week and i am definately learning a lot. We had our Zone Conference and President Woods talked about learning by faith. It was a concept i had never really thought about much but it was really helpful, he got it from a talk by Elder Bednar and i think it is something that can really help all of us so i am going to forward it too you for your homework for the week. I am having a few difficulties with my companion but all in all we are doing well. I wish i could get him to see what i have seen, for the moment he doesn't trust me, oh well it will come with time, or it wont and he will have to learn through his mistakes like i did. But we are surviving and we had our top investigator come to church. She is a lady named Enoela and she is from Guatemala. She had been taught everything and kind of didn't do anything so we stopped visiting her for a while, but on Wednesday i ran out of things to do so i thought we would see how she was doing, and it turns out that her husband was currently lost in the Mexican Border and she hadn't heard from him in 6 days (usually means they were killed by the Coyotes because of lack of money recieved, or in jail in Texas or Arizona) so we talked about the families for some reason and how God wants their family to be together and to be happy and how God blesses us if we are obedient and i promised her that he would arrive safely if she was obedient. So i didn't think much of it but on Saturday we went over again to talk and we realized that 10 minutes before we came over that her husband had called and was safely on this side and leaving Phoenix. So that was a huge blessing and she told us that he should arrive on Sunday at 2ish, so i was a little hesitant to ask her to come to church, but for some reason i did and at first she was hesitant because she wanted to be there when her husband got home, but then all of a sudden she just was like, God has given me this great blessing and staying home is not showing him my appreciation. So yesterday her and her and her 3, 2 and 1 year old all came to church. I was a little worried because of the chaos that kids are, but those 2 boys were the best behaved kids in church i have ever seen. They sat in their seats and did not move. So i was greatful that it was calm and hopefully she felt the spirit. Well thats the cool story for the week.

I am sorry to hear that Tyson is talking like an adult, he is getting too old, i am going to miss all the sweet years, he went straight from Toddler to Teenager. I am glad that Sis Jensen gave a good talk about missionary work, i keep telling myself i need to write Jace or Kelsey or Derek but i keep forgetting. I actually talked to some sisters in Elder Whatcotts Zone, they had a referral for me, she actually attended PG high school, so that was a wierd moment.

Well thats about all that is going on, i hope that you all have a great day and oh yeah one more thing, if you could send me a list of the christmas wishes of everyone i would appreciate some help. i am clueless.

Love Elder Jensen
