December 14: After p-day today we went and caught up with a potential we found a few weeks ago and it was the sweetest thing she called us her angels. It is so sweet being able to be a representative of Jesus Christ and truly be his hands here on earth. That is one of the amazing gifts that he has given me this year and into next year is getting to be his representative and to truly be his hands.
December 15: Today we got to teach the YSA (Young Single Adults) at their FHE (Family Home Evening) and it was all about how they could be better missionaries to their friends and to help their friends find the joy of the gospel. It was a really cool experience and I hope it opened their eyes to the little things they can do every day to be an example of Jesus Christ and to help him in his work here.
December 16: Breanna our amazing investigator got to go on a temple grounds tour today and it was so great! She absolutely loved it and is just getting so excited for her baptism this weekend. I am so excited for her and the amazing decision she is making in her life right now.

December 17: Today we got to teach our amazing investigator Bory. He is absolutely amazing and is so ready for the gospel. Bory is the cousin of our YSA Relief Society President Lizbeth and we first met with him on Tuesday. Then we saw him again on Wednesday after the temple with Breanna and we invited him to be baptized on January 2nd and he very tentatively accepted the date. But here is the full story. The first time we met Bory we very randomly called him up because another appointment had fallen through and he said we could come over. He didn't really want to talk to us but didn't want to be rude so he would listen to our BS but as we taught him he actually started wanting to talk with us. On Wednesday when we gave him a baptisimal date he thought we were absolutely crazy but now he is so excited to be baptized. He literally soaks up the gospel and looks forward to all of our appointments and he loves reading the Book of Mormon. He truly is amazing and teaching him has brought me immense joy because the gospel is truly changing his life for the better.
December 18: This morning the coolest/weirdest thing happened a Jehovah's Witness knocked on our door. I was very cordial and asked if they wanted to exchange pamphlets since we both believed in Jesus Christ. They told me that they could not take my pamphlet and they left. Also today we got to go sing with people of a retirement community and they absolutely loved it and it was so much fun to do service.
December 19: Breanna got baptized today!
Also we got to teach Bory again. He truly is amazing and he isn't even baptized yet but wants to be a missionary soon so that he can bring the joy of the gospel to others.
December 20: Today while knocking we met some drunk Haitians and it was so funny. We were giving them pictures of Jesus and invites to church and they were so excited to come to church and one of them even looked at his card and didn't see the address and was so confused because he wanted the address. Truly just made my night because they had absolutely no idea what was going on.

Well God is truly amazing and I'm so excited that I got to help one of his children come just a little bit closer to him and that was truly the best gift I could give him and the joy of teaching these two amazing people, Breanna and Bory, is the greatest gift I could receive.
Love,
Sister Jennings
