Week 18 - The Grinch Stole Christmas



It was kind of a slow week for Cam. Bad news…I looked at the temperatures there and Camdawg is cold. Good news…she got a new coat today that is waterproof. Bad news…the lady that has been doing their laundry is moving. Good news…who am I kidding, that’s terrible. She better be nice and find someone soon to do the laundry. Of course with the amount of clothes she took, she is safe until spring break. She forgot to tell us about the Christmas Skype today. I hope she knows she is able to talk with us. I'm not real sure about the subject line in her email this week. I can usually figure it out. Oh well, on to week 19.

                                                                                                                                           
Hey fam!
Oh hey, I hit my 4 month mark on Saturday! Thats weird.  Lemme tell ya about the week.
We did quite a bit of service this week! We went to the food bank, sang at the old folks home, and Sis. Shepherd and I went and helped this lady named Kristy mud her walls.  Shes a non-member and we tracted into her while she was painting and she said we could come back and help her.  So we did! She was a sweet lady, and she said she was worried about us for believing in "false prophets".  But she said it wasn't our fault because its just what our parents have taught us.  I think she just had a misunderstanding of the Book of Mormon.  So hopefully she has a different point of view now that we explained it more.  i don't know if anything will come from the service, but it was fun anyways! :)
I learned how to say "We are missionaries" in 3 different languages this week! While we were tracting, we met a ton of people from japan (They came down here for work and there's literally a million of them in the apartment complexes.)  Most of them don't speak english but the one we met did and talked to us for a while! We also met a lady named Sam from Iran and she taught us how to say it in Farce.  I'm only in Washington and I've met people from all over the place! Its pretty cool :')
I can't remember if I wrote this last week, but we had to drop Taylor this week.  She kind of dropped us too though.  She decided the only reason she wanted to be baptized was because she wanted to be sealed to her dad, and she wanted a better reason than that.  Which is true.  She needs to know for herself.  So it was sad.  But one day maybe she'll know for herself :)
Not gonna lie, i got pretty fed up with people this week.  Sometimes people tell us to come back, and then when we do they're either not there or they don't answer the door.  This one chick, I saw her through the window! and she still didn't answer! i would much rather them just tell us they're not interested then to tell us to come back and then not be there.  Its sad.  But thats just missionary work! Just gotta keep going because at some point we'll find someone that really does want us to come back :)
The ward had their Christmas party this week! They had a member dress up as the grinch haha it was pretty cute! Our new investigator named Franklin came to it with us! But when we taught Franklins family, he was the only one interested in learning more so now the elders in the singles ward will probably teach him.  :)
Cloe got baptized on Saturday!!! Shes the 13 year old i taught a while back.  but she ended up in the other sisters area when the ward split.  I got to go to her baptism though and Sister Wadman even came back for it!! It was so good to see her again!
Wellllll thats about all I can think of this week.  KEEP LIGHTING THE WORLD!


Love you all!!!
Love, Sister Jensen
