Week 48 - 11 MONTHS

I hope everybody had a good 4th of July!! We weren't allowed to do our regular proselyting on the that day.  We were only allowed to go and see people that we already knew and had relationships with.  So Sister Baggett and I made some cookies with a couple other missionaries and delivered them to members and investigators.  Then that night we watched some church movies in our apartment and I cleaned haha.  Fun, eh?

But we did get to do some pretty fun service this week! Wenatchee does a big celebration down at Walla Walla park and so on Tuesday night we went and helped set up some stuff.  And by set up stuff I mean, we got the privilege of putting garbage and recycling cans all over the park.  Then on Thursday morning we were a part of clean up duty and helped take down the fencing and the stage.  It looked like it was a party! too bad we couldn't go.  But we did get to hear the symphony practicing on Tuesday night so that was a bonus!
A member in our ward invited us over for dinner on Friday and she taught us how to cook Beliezan food! Her name is Sister Cassiano but all of the missionaries call her mama Cassiano.  We made rice and beans (with coconut milk so it was super good), and empenadas.  I don't know how to spell that.... anyways! I'm a pro chef now.  Of one meal. 
We had a neat experience the other day in McDonalds drive-thru.  The car in front of us broke down right before the man was able to order.  The cars behind us were a little irritated but sister Baggett and I got out and helped him push the car to a parking spot.  He needed a ride home so we were able to call someone from the ward to come get him.  Haha while he waited for the ride he went inside to get his food and when we told him that someone from our church was there to pick him up he said, "they're not going to try and save me right?"  Lol I don't think he understood that we were missionaries.  But now the Elders are going to go by and meet him! Maybe his heart has been softened and he'll listen to them :')
I got to speak in Church yesterday in the YSA branch! I spoke on the joy that I have felt as I've shared the Gospel.  I still don't really like speaking in church haha but I guess I don't get as nervous anymore! I loved preparing my talk though.  One of the scriptures that I shared was D&C 16:4 & 6.  4- "For many times you have desired of me to know that which would be of the most worth unto you."...6-"And now, behold, I say unto you, that the thing which will be of the most worth unto you will be to declare repentance unto this people, that you many bring souls unto me, that you may rest with them in the kingdom of my Father. Amen."
Living the gospel and sharing it with others will be of the most worth to us.  :)  It brings the kind of joy that nothing else can offer. 

Love you all! Oh by the way... today is my 11 month mark!
Love, Sister Jensen
