November 9: For p-day we had a massive zone activity and it was so much fun. We played extreme dodgeball (I'm not a fan of it - it gives me anxiety), had a pie eating contest, and a paint war. Seriously so much fun and I now know more missionaries besides the 10 that I associate with all the time so that is a total bonus. Today was just the best day because after the zone activity we went knocking and we met Brooke and the Hemlepp family (family of 6) who are interested in learning more about the gospel so that was totally awesome!
November 10: We are working with several less actives in our ward and one of them is Sister Lombardo. She was baptized with her second ex-husband and she doesn't really know a lot about the gospel so we are working on teaching her the lessons and increasing her knowledge of the gospel so that she will have a greater testimony and will want to come to church. Also I absolutely love the YSA Branch that we work with they are so excited to help their branch grow and to bring those who aren't coming to church back.
November 11: Today we experienced a small miracle while knocking we met Rob. The weird thing with Rob is when he saw us walking up his sidewalk he actually wanted to open the door for us and talk to us (which is unusual). After the prayer he said that we came at the perfect time right when he needed a spiritual boost. Problem is Rob is not currently interested in learning more but that is okay because one day he will be. Also more sad news for today, we cleaned out our teaching pool and dropped a lot of people because they are not progressing and they are not contacting us back, so all we have is Brooke and the Hemlepps and anyone else we meet this week. The saddest one is Lynchie and Sarah they were so elect a few weeks ago and were excited to come to church and be baptized but then we lost contact with them for a week and their youth pastor got ahold of them and are organizing a bible study class for them and so they don't want to learn about the BoM anymore.
November 12 & 13: We were on a 2 day exchange and were not in our area so we didn't do any work in our area but we helped our STLs (Sister Training Leaders) area progress.
November 14: Elissia's baptism was today (she is being taught by the other sisters) and it was the most spiritual baptism I've been to, it was really cool they had testimonies from converts to the church while we waited for them to get changed. After the baptism we went knocking and we met Peggy who told us we weren't Christian. So we pointed to our nametags and told her we were Christian and she told us that her Bible didn't say that and so we have a return appointment where she is going to try and confound us but really we all know who will do the confounding. In case you don't know its Sisters Jennings and King with the aid of the Holy Ghost. Also it rained all day today, like all day which was awesome! We also found Art in the Alley #2!!
November 15: Today was the most amazing miracle! After church and a meal appointment we had a second meal appointment/lesson fall through so we started knocking earlier than we had planned. We felt impressed to go to this street but when we got there we couldn't find parking so we kept driving back and forth trying to find a place to park. While driving to find a place to park we saw these houses and we decided we wanted to knock them. After finally parking we walked up to the first house and knocked on the first door and we found Madeline. When Madeline opened the door she knew exactly who we were, so we thought awesome a former investigator, but then she told us she was a member and she was living in a recovery facility. Madeline had been praying to see the missionaries and then there we were knocking on her door. The coolest thing is if that second meal appointment hadn't have fallen through we wouldn't have met Madeline because their rehab group was going bowling literally right when we knocked on her door. #GodIsGood #AnswerstoPrayers #MiracleMoment It is amazing how God works and the prep work that went into us finding Madeline because all that started 3 weeks ago (story for another time) and it finally happened today.
Today's Title: Well it rained like two days this week and it rained like crazy. While it rained we had this little cat that we found last week that refound us and followed us while knocking so we had a little stalker cat that just wanted to come home with us. Super funny that cat seemed to like me better even though Sister King was the one petting it and talking to it. Funny dog story, while on exchanges with Sister Rampersad we were knocking doors when out of nowhere this dog just came and starting jumping on us and wanting to play with us and playfully biting us. I had to hold the dog back so Sister Rampersad could get the contact information for a potential investigator. After finishing getting the info we decided to go back to the car and the dog just followed us and kept following us and following us.
So that was my week! Love you all!
Sister Jennings
