Happy New Year!!
December 28: Today when we were knocking we met a guy who believed Jesus took weed as the sacrament (he didn't) and that was what he believed. It was super funny because he was hardcore high and was trying to flirt with me and Sister Jeppson and we just kept referring him to check out mormon.org to find out what we believe and if he was interested request missionaries. It was super funny because he was definitely high and had no idea where he was.
December 29: We finished teaching Bory everything he needs to be prepared for his baptismal interview and he is totally prepared and we are so excited for him. He is truly amazing and the gospel has truly turned his life around and he continues to just love learning about the gospel. Also we had a member bring a friend to church on Sunday and we are teaching his friend tomorrow and he is so nervous about his friend being taught and we just had to assure him that it would be okay and the best thing he could do was continue to be his friend no matter what happened with his friend learning about the gospel.
December 30: Today we went and volunteered at an assisted living facility and we got to sing to Bertha who is 105 and turns 106 in a few months. It was so cool getting to help Bertha and her family have a little better day and they told me and Sister Jeppson that we sang like angels and that we should get a recording contract when we are done with our mission and sing Christmas songs and that we could be a best seller. I'm titling our first CD: The Sister Singers - The Reason for the Season!
December 31: Bory got interviewed for his baptism today and he passed with flying colors. Happy New Years Eve! We had to go home early to avoid having fire crackers fall on us (it has happened in the past). So instead of proselyting the sisters I live with and I had a party and made cinnamon rolls and paper snowflakes and a gingerbread train and face paint.
January 1: Happy New Year! The less active lady we have been visiting recently told us that she was going to come to church this Sunday since it will be our last Sunday serving in the Delray ward (We are getting moved to full time YSA sister missionaries). We also taught David who is a member referral and we aren't so sure how interested he is in getting baptized he more wants to meet with us to have a Mormon 101 class and learn what we believe.
January 2: Bory got baptized!! We were nervous that it wasn't going to happen since he has been deathly ill the past few days and yesterday was running a fever of 102. His mom told him that he should postpone his baptism and he told her no that he was going to be baptized on the 2nd. Good news though he was feeling a lot better today (the best he has felt all week). Also his whole family was there to support him and many of the YSA came to support as well which was really cool.
January 3: Everyone got sick today so all the people we had that were going to come to church didn't. Stupid Satan making everyone sick so that they couldn't come to church. However, today was awesome because Bory got the gift of the Holy Ghost and even bore his testimony during testimony meeting (man this kid makes me cry... he is so great!!).
January 4: Today was Proselyting Monday and my last day as a Delray Dame. On my last day serving the Delray ward we found a family for the elders to teach as well as a YSA that we can teach. It was super cool! We were headed to our car after finding this family and as we were backing up all of a sudden my companion goes over to this car and starts talking to a guy. So I parked the car real quick and walk over and this YSA named Moises has seen me (not Sister Jeppson) in the complex before and previously wanted to come and say hi to me and become my friend but we were always driving away. Good thing this time Sister Jeppson heard him call out and so we are going to go teach him tomorrow.
An amazing week and a great start to the new year. I love the Lord and am so glad that I get to serve him for a year and a half and especially this next year because it truly is amazing. I have never had a better relationship with my Savior and Heavenly Father and I cannot wait to see what this new year brings. I love you all!
Love,
Sister Jennings
