Not a lot has changed this week for Camri. She is still doing great. She was somewhat brief with us today. Maybe next week we can get a picture of her Halloween costume. Don't forget to check out her blog for all the latest pictures.

Heyoooo!
Happy Halloween everyone! Halloween as a missionary is gonna be weird because we have to be inside our apartments by 6. But you better believe that the other sisters and I are gonna throw a sick Halloween party!
This week was boss! We went to the temple on Wednesday with the zone! Heres some cool facts from that day: The man driving our 15 passenger van was a grouch and he watched soccer on his phone while driving... kinda scary. But hes a good guy haha. We went to Costa Vida afterwards and missionaries get a 60% off discount there. Since we only get Costa every six months as missionaries, the sisters and I all bought two meals. haha one for while we were there, and one to take home for the next day. It was the best idea we had all week!
Ohhh... haha so on Thursday the Elders called us with a referral. Someone needed some service done, help moving their couches. It was in our area so the Elders asked if we would want to go instead of them since the people were nonmembers. We were like, heck yeah we wanna go! Well when we got there, we discovered that the people were moving their couches out because they were infested with bed bugs! The Elders didn't warn us of that. Sooo afterwards we just took our clothes and threw them in a drier and from what we can tell, we don't have bed bugs. Except the drier melted my Nikes a little so that sucks. Freaking Elders. But its okay because the people were super awesome! And we met a girl that was YSA aged and invited her to the activities. They want us to come back again in November and help them paint :)
We also did service for our on-date, Taylor! It was so cool! She had to put her whole house pretty much in bags because her apartment complex was getting sprayed for roaches. We took the other sisters with us too and we were there for a while helping her clean. But heres the cool part. So while we were cleaning, two of taylors friends came over. They brought some beer and asked us if we were 21 yet. We were like, no but we dont drink. And then they started talking to us about why we don't drink and they thought it was pretty cool. We gained major trust with all of them from doing that act of service. When we left, both of the friends asked us to come teach them too! One said "I like learning about this! Will you come be my missionaries too?" LITERALLY, IT WAS SO FREAKING AWESOME! Oh and Taylors boyfriend was there... hes interesting. Hes a.... child of God. But a lazy one that didn't do anything to help. But he told us thank you so I guess thats something.
Don is still on track for Nov. 11th to be baptized buuuut he drank a spoonful of bourbon yesterday because he was choking and thats what makes him stop choking. We might have to push his date back a week... but we're looking into it. Stay tuned.
Oh! I spoke in church yesterday! I spoke on faith. And it was cool because our investigator Shayna came for the first time. She said church was a little overwhelming because she didn't know what anyone was talking about. Shes the one that didn't know who Jesus Christ was when we met her. But she said shes excited to keep coming and keep learning! In our last lesson she said "For some reason i just feel like my life is getting better because I'm learning about God" THATS WHAT THE GOSPEL DOES! It just makes life better :)
Love you all! Have the greatest week ever!
Love, Sister Jensen
Heres some pics from the temple! Hopefully I'll get the group one next week :) Oh and Costa tortilla.... haha
