Hello Family!!
Wow, I have never been so excited for a p-day I don't think! It
seemed like such a long haul between last pday and today, and we are
both so exhausted. That's probably also because we have been super busy
with so many different things. I will try to get it all in the email but
we'll see if I can remember it all! ha First though, mom- you can check
off already me speaking at my mission conferences. I did that at week 3
out here! ha Yeah buddy! :P I didn't know Courtney was engaged- please
tell her congrats! Also, where is Libby Jensen going? That's so sad
about Andi Allred! Crazy things are happening! No, I don't need any more
doterra but I may need you to send me some more It's-a-10 (shampoo). I will look
again today, but so far I haven't been able to find any of it out here
which stinks cause I love it. As far as sending print-outs of missionary emails - I can't
remember who all is even sending them to me, but I would say if you do
want to, then the top one would be Becca Allen, and maybe Jordan
Hastings. Or just send me Becca's Address. I'm writing Jasmine, Jessica,
and Lori so I don't think I need their emails. If you could find
Whitney Dawe's address I would love that though. Thank you!!!!
So, as for this week I don't even know where to begin. D*** was
baptized!!! We started the program late but oh my goodness it was so
good. There were a lot of members there supporting her so that was neat
to see our ward rallying around her. Seriously, this ward is the best!!!
I love it! The talks were so wonderful and really just brought a
powerful spirit into the room. D*** was just beaming from ear to ear
from the moment she walked into the building to the moment she walked
out. She also brought three of her non-member friends because they
wanted to support her. One of them is really sweet and wants to come to
church and improve her life. I felt like I needed to talk to her so that
was cool. Another friend though was trying to just spew anti to us
missionaries. ha Oh my, she was crazy, but it's ok. We took it in stride
and just talked to her nicely and gave her the correct facts of what we
believe :) It wasn't that bad though. When she was actually baptized
though was so neat. The spirit was very powerful the whole time but
especially there because this was an example of following Christ and we
all were witnesses to it. We had some other non-members there as well so
it was great to have them all there and experience the power and feeling
of the spirit. I was so excited and happy the whole time and couldn't
stop smiling either. I had been a part of helping her gain a
relationship with her Savior Jesus Christ and the feeling that you have
knowing that you helped change their life for the better is so amazing! I
am so glad that I was able to help her along in her conversion because
it also helped me in my conversion.
Also, I guess you could say that maybe some of these eastern
roads don't like me that much or maybe it's just the cars that don't! ha
We had a little mishap with our car and may or may not have gotten
thoroughly stuck in the mud last week! :P We had a lot of miles left
for the month so we decided to go out to Draper which is close to the
end of our area and tract there since we could. We got out there and it
was beautiful, but then as we were on a street we realized we may have
gone out of our area. So we turned around and were just going to pull
off and look at a map. Sis Tuckett said to pull off at a place so I did,
and immediately we just started sliding down the little slope. We both
freaked out! We tried to drive out of it but we couldn't. A sweet old
man stopped with his wife to help but we weren't going anywhere so he
left. We had to call the elders to have them come out and see if they
could help us and then wait like an hour for them to get there. While
waiting no one stopped to help because they all saw we were in skirts and
figured it was probably Mormons or Jehovah's witnesses and kept going.
(our speculation on that, not doctrine! ;) ) Finally they got there, and
then like out of nowhere 5 other men stopped and came over to help
including a man with a tractor! So, they all pushed and the tractor
pulled us out! It was so funny! We were both so flustered after that and
couldn't focus on the work, but we both did agree that the day was
pretty fun! With all the rain and snow the ground was already soft, and
they had dug in that same spot a few days earlier, and covered it with
hay. So pretty much right as we pulled off we were goners!
I will try to send pictures of stuff soon, maybe today if time. Kind of crazy with getting Sis Tuckett ready to go. I'm doing well though! Lots of love! Love, Jenna
