Week 50 - Goathead Warriors

Dear Fam bam, 

We did some pretty fun service this week! On Tuesday we helped a family move. So we were packing boxes and furniture onto a truck and then unloading them at a storage shed. They bought us pizza after which was pretty bomb diggity. Then on Wednesday half of our zone helped with a community project called "Goathead Warriors". There's this man named Doug and he is VERY passionate about making Wenatchee a Goathead free city. He even started crying as he was telling us about why he does this. He hates that people can't ride their bikes down the sidewalks without getting a flat tire. His goal is to have zero goathead plants in Wenatchee in the next 5 years. Sooo what we did was we all took a few streets in South Wenatchee and took some shovels and garbage bags and we walked around looking for goathead plants. Lol it was probably the most unique service I have done on my mission. But the people that saw us doing it came up and talked to us and told us how grateful they were! Speaking of unique service, did I ever tell y'all about the time this lady we didn't know randomly called us and asked us to come do her laundry? Haha it was so funny. We went and did her laundry for her though! There are always ways to serve people :) 

There is a couple in our area that are not members, but they have a son out on a mission right now.  They invited us over for dinner and we got to know them super well.  They are so awesome!! Sweetest people EVER.  They came to church on Sunday too! We're praying that they'll let us come back to teach them haha.

There was a ward party on Saturday.  It was a Pioneer Picnic.  We had invited these two older ladies named Kay and Velma and they ended up coming!  We've met with them twice but both times its mostly just sharing our testimonies with each other.  They are very religious women and to be honest I think they're trying to convert us to their faith... so we just keep sharing Book of Mormon verses with them.  Its really cool because we'll share a Book of Mormon verse with them and then Kay will say, "oh that reminds me of a verse in the bible!" I don't think she even realizes it, but shes putting it together that the Book of Mormon and the Bible go hand in hand.  

Oh yeah I learned how to make buck-eye balls this week! An investigator taught me how.  Its basically just a ball of sugar and peanut butter dipped in chocolate... so its incredible.

Transfer calls are this Saturday! So i'll let yall know whats going down next week.  I gotta go, we're going to go hiking down in Leavenworth! Bye for now!

Love, Sister Jensen
