This week has been amazing! I can't believe it's February already.
February 1: Today was a real rough day even though it was p-day but God is so Good and provided so many miracles. While knocking we met Johnny and Linda, siblings who want to come to church and want to be baptized. It has been a while since we have been able to find anyone to teach and have really been relying on the work of other missionaries finding the YSA. Then after finding them we had to use the restroom and right outside of Publix were Girl Scouts selling cookies. Man we needed those today and it made the whole evening better. Finding people to teach and eating Girl Scout cookies.
February 2: We got to visit a less active YSA today who really wants to come back to church. It was amazing to see how he had humbled himself and truly desired to come closer to God. He has decided that he will read the Book of Mormon everyday before he goes to sleep, which is an awesome goal that will truly bless him. We also had Family Home Evening tonight with the YSA and it was an awesome spiritual lesson about how we can conquer the Goliaths (David and Goliath) in our life. Then as we were getting ready to go our YSA branch spontaneously burst out in the EFY medley (look it up it's really good).
February 3: Had an amazing experience trying to find a less active, we didn't find him but instead met his less active sister and talking with her we helped her realize that she needed to come back to church and rely on the Lord more and he would truly bless her for it.
February 4: Today was all over the place. We made plans. They fell through. We made new plans. Those plans got cancelled. And basically we drove all over the place trying to figure out what to do. This is a classic crazy day because YSA do not plan their lives at all and their plans change on the spur of the moment. But through it all came to realize that God is Good and he loves us and he is so merciful if we but humble ourselves.
February 5: Today we got to go to the temple with Bory!!!!! It was amazing being in the temple with our awesome YSA! It was crazy figuring out how we were going to get there but God is the greatest planner and he made everything work out for us which is amazing!

February 6: Today we went on exchanges and so I wasn't serving in my area but it was cool to meet with the people the other Sisters are teaching and seeing how we are all in this work together.
February 7: Church was amazing today! Bory bore his testimony and seriously there is nothing like hearing your recent converts testimony. We also got to teach Nico and he is excited to be baptized on February 27th and is working towards that date.
Truly this was an amazing week and yes working with the YSA is sometimes crazy while we try and schedule with them, but it is also so rewarding and I love it.
I know this church is true. I know that Jesus Christ is our Savior and that he died for all of us so that we can return to live with our Heavenly Father again. I know that he rose on the third day and that he lives. I know that families can be together forever. I know that Joseph Smith was a prophet called by God and that he translated the Book of Mormon which is another testament of Jesus Christ. I know that I have been called here to the Florida Fort Lauderdale Mission to help people come closer to Christ. I love the gospel, I love my mission, and I love the people of Florida. I love you all!
Love,
Sister Jennings
