Companion: Elder Timmreck
So this week seems like a lot happened even though we didn't do hardly any proselyting.
Elder Timmreck got pretty sick this week, mostly just congestion issues. That kept us in for most of the week and we really didn't get much done. Although Elder Timmreck has been in the process of knitting a blanket so he made some real progress on that.
On Thursday we had a really awesome lesson with our investigator Darrin. He committed to be baptized on March 4th! And he came to church yesterday. It is so amazing to see people find the church.
Saturday we went and helped a new family move into the ward. Apparently the house they are moving into is the oldest house in town, but its all been redone recently and looks really good. It was built in the mid 1800s. It was a good thing I ate my Wheaties that morning because with Elder Timmreck being sick he helped where he could, but I had the privilege of doing most of the very heavy lifting. Then there was another move in Ottawa that we went and helped at as well.
We had a really cool lesson with a less active couple. They mostly don't come because they have to work on Sundays. We had previously given them a plan of salvation pamphlet and asked them to do some of the additional study on the back. (It has a few questions and some scriptures to help you find the answers) So when we went for the appointment they immediately just said "we have so many questions" which was awesome. We were able to answer questions about the pre-earth life and read scriptures about The Fall of Adam and Eve. It was a fun lesson.
Then on Sunday we went with the Fishers, a recent convert couple, to Independence for Presidents Devotional. It is basically a whole bunch of converts from all over the mission that get together and share their conversion stories and testimonies. It was very cool and right as it was getting started Matt Pennington, (a man from my first area who was baptized) showed up with his girlfriend who just recently got baptized as well. So they both shared their testimonies, it was a really great night.
That was pretty much our week. Transfer calls are tomorrow so we will see what happens. But thank you all so much for everything you do, I love hearing from you all.
Love,
Elder Jensen
