Week 20: Goodbye Stepmother

Image
On monday I ran into my mamá in the mission Hermana Labbé and it was fun because I actually understand her now when she speaks!! We also went to this cathedral and got really weird looks because we are missionaries of another church but it was cool  Well its offical Hermana Willden has left us. She is training a new missionary and went to a different area :( I am still here in Vicente Solá with Hermana Braatz and we are crushing it.  Early in the week we recieved a reference and decided to meet up with her in the church where we had a really weird lesson. Every time we tried to talk she started talking and then she started crying and we had no idea what she was saying because her accent is a little different and she was talking REALLY quietly. We invited her to be baptized and she said yes but we dont know how serious she is about it because shes been baptized in almost every other church lol.  For Hermana Willdens 7 meses we attempted to make cookies and we failed horrib...

Week 19: Soy Hermana Jensen Tengo Dieciocho Anos Y Soy De Cananda

Well this week was fun I hit 4 months in the mission and saw a few miracles in my life here!  Monday we hiked this hill but it felt like a Mountain I dont know what has happened to me but I was dying and I walk all day every day but this hike almost killed me. We had to stop and rest every 5 minutes. I was humbled to the ground and depressed at the fact that I can't hike for more than 45 minutes. But the view was pretty.  We put 6 yes 6 people on date for baptism. Friday was a miracle filled day. Here in my mission we invite people to be baptized our very first contact with them. Yes you heared that right the very first time we meet a person we lead the conversation to baptism and invite them to be baptized and it works! Especially Friday every new reference we recieved accepted a baptism date it was insane!  All our plans worked out and we taught a ton of lesson. The person with the most potential is Lautro he is the brother of 2 recient converts and he is really interes...

This week we had a few fun aventures. On monday we found a McDonald's and couldnt resist it so we bought some it was a little different but it was fun and good to taste something that reminded me of America lol.  On tuesday we got lost in our area you may be wondering how but we are all new in this area and its a city and everything looks the exact same so we ended up getting lost looking for a reference and we didnt have anymore data so we couldnt use the map and i left my phone in the apartment and its the only one with data left so we were lost for a little while. Wednesday we went to the temple and did some service in the little lodge/hotel thing we just organized sheets an pillows it was fun but heres where it gets fun to get back to our area we had to use a public bus but we realized we didnt have anymore money left on our card to get back and the Salta temple is basically in the middle of no where so we walked an hour and half to a different area in the mission which isnt al...

Week 17: Goodbye Metan

You are probably wondering " jordan why goodbye metan its half way through the transfer where are you?" Well... I am in salta the capital.  Heres the story of why:  On Tuesday ( crazy day we were supposed to have exhanges but our capas never showed up until 5 ) but during lunch with a member me and Hermans Willden recieved a call from the AP and so we anwered and he told us that we had to move to Salta and meet our new companion. We were shocked and had no idea what was happening because it was an emergency transfer. So on wednesday we ran around saying goodbye to people and had a little party with my three converts ( Valeria, Luana and Martina )  it was so hard saying goodbye we all cried. And on Thursday me and Hermana Willden moved to Salta where we were picked up by the Elders in the Office who literally locked us in the car for 20 minutes in 100 degree heat. We waited in the mission office where we hungout with the Elders and ate lunch with them it was fun (#inlovewi...
