OMG This week was so good!
Sooo we had a light the world kickoff with all the youth! We had them frost cookies for someone that they know, write them a note, and then take a pic. Then we had a gingerbread house competition. It was literally so fun!
They hold this thing at the Stake Center down here every year. Its where they have nativities displayed from all over the world! This year they had over 400 nativities. They make it look super pretty and then they have a place where families can dress up and take a pic as a live nativity. The sisters and I decided to dress up and guess who I was.... uh huh. i was Joseph. I'm not really sure how it happened. But I guess they all came to the conclusion that I was the most manly. haha Just kidding. I just lost rock paper scissors to be Mary. anyways, so we got to help be hostesses at the Nativity on Thursday and then on Saturday we went and caroled at it outside the doors. lemme tell ya, we didn't sound too good. But we were singing about Jesus so hopefully the spirit was better than our voices.
I'd just like to give a shout out to mama Jensen for sending me a GPS!!! Life has been rough without Siri i'll tell you what. Trying to find YSA members all over the place is hard. But the GPS has been a game changer this week. So thank you mother :')
We had a lesson with Annette and Natalie and invited them to be baptized on January 13th! Joey wasn't there sadly.. but hopefully he'll be there this Thursday when we see them. They said yes but Annette wants to pray about the date.
We also invited Shayna to be baptized on January 27th! Shes going through some hard times right now. But shes seen how the gospel has been making things easier for her. She is so sweet. Lol heres a funny story about her son Gabe. So he's like 4 years old. And one day we go over and hes like buck naked. I guess as part of his autism, he hates wearing clothes. And so Shayna puts some underwear on him and walks away and then as soon as she walks away he looks right at us and says "uh oh". hahah and he started peeing right in the middle of the living room! Like everywhere! I was trying so hard not to laugh... And Shayna was yelling "Gabe stop peeing!!" Then he cried and it was sad. But its something I'll probably never forget lol. Shayna is such a good mom though. She gave us christmas cards and it just melted my heart :')
We tracted so much this week! Our goal was to find 3 new investigators by sunday night. And we hadn't found one all week! And on Sunday we both fasted that we would find 3 new investigators. (We didn't know at the time that we were both fasting for that). And then that night at 7:00 we went and tracted at these apartments and I remembered Elder Hamblin telling us to knock on his neighbors door (The elders live at those apartments) and they let us in, gave us apple cider and cupcakes, and we talked about prayer, gods plan for us, and faith. We said a prayer with them, set up a time to come back this week, and BAM! 3 NEW INVESTIGATORS!!! Their names are Helen, Dave, and Franklin. I'll let you know next week how the next lesson goes. But Just wanted to let y'all know that prayer and fasting works. It was a miracle. :')
Have a good week everyone! OH! Also. Its Courtneys birthday on Sunday! So tell her Happy Birthday! She's a good lady. LOVE YOU COURT! I love the rest of you too. Just court a little more this week since its her birthday.
Love, Sister Jensen <3
