Its crazy how fast time goes by. For the 4th of July, all of us missionaries have to be in our apartments by 6. We can't tract that day either. Luckily, Sister Baggett and I have a little balcony that has a pretty good view to watch fireworks from. We're gonna have our own little party! Maybe even have a movie night and watch The Testaments haha. #TurnUp
We FINALLY got to meet President and Sister Jackman on Saturday! We've all been so anxious for them to get here. Its been a long time coming. To introduce themselves to us they had their children, in-laws, and grandchildren put together a video telling us about them. It was so cute! President Jackman is a short man and he doesn't talk too much. but he seems very loving. Sister Jackman is super spunky and loves talking. They are the sweetest couple! They finished each others sentences like the whole meeting. Goals, am I right? Melted my heart.
We had District Meeting on Thursday and afterwards we did service for a Veterans Warehouse that was being closed down. We were helping them pack all of the books up. I guess they were just going to throw all of the books away because they weren't allowed to do anything else with them. They told us if there were any books we wanted, we could just take them. I'm not much of a reader but I sure like a good Nicholas Sparks book... I got 9 of them! Too bad I can't read them on my mission so I gotta ship em home haha. But I also found a 1950 Book of Mormon! I was pretty excited about it. Its all cute and old looking :')
We had a lesson with a couple that has been coming to our church for months now. Right now, we are trying to figure out if they would be accountable for baptism. Its an interesting experience. We taught them about Prophets and Joseph Smith. This week we'll go back and see if they remember what we talked about. At church yesterday they came up and started asking us about it so I think thats a good sign! :)
Yesterday in church I kept thinking about the special opportunity we have each week to take the Sacrament. I am always amazed at how loving our Heavenly Father is. He allows us to renew our covenants each week, and keep trying to become better. Its such an incredible privilege and opportunity and I think often times I take it for granted and seem to just go through the motions of it. But in Sacrament meeting as the bread was being past, the little boy in front of me looked up and when he saw the tray coming he shouted, "Yay!" I had a thought that maybe thats how we should all feel about the Sacrament each week. so excited that we want to shout yay! But I wouldn't recommend actually shouting that in Sacrament meeting... it's only cute as a 3 year old haha.
Well I hope you all have a great 4th of July! Merica. Stay safe fam. LOVE YOU!!!
Love, Sister Jensen
