Hola everyone,
It sounds like after a few busy weeks things
have finally slowed down for a couple days. I think it's the calm before
another big storm of school, football games, work, and a new season of the
year. Things seem to be changing lots, but I feel like I'm just in my
"caribbean world."
So this past week was a very slow week for me as
well. Noelia continues to progress, but she's having pregnancy troubles.
So, that is putting a big rock block in the way on her progression.
She's been put on bed rest and can't attend church. And to be
baptized into the church, you kind of need to attend it, so we've pushed her
date down the ward a little so it won't be so pressured to make it.
We've struggled alot trying to find people the
teach during my time here in Hato Mayor. The people just don't seem to
want to progress. Some people listen, but they can't seem to keep
commitments and follow their path to Christ's gospel. People have their
agency to choose and act for themselves, but it's sad to see them choose in a
way contrary to the will of our Heavenly Father! As missionaries we are
charged to preach the gospel. We invite all people to follow Christ.
If the people don't want to, well, that's up to them. I hope that
people will starting and continuing listening to this wonderful message
missionaries bring to the world.
The Hato Mayor ward is a great ward! I've
never seen a Ward Mission Leader work as hard as the one we've got. He
leaves with us, reports on the progress of investigators, and really tries to
magnify his calling. Our bishop is great person too, and wants to see
this ward grow during his time as bishop. The members are great, and alot
are very strong members of the church. Overall, I enjoy serving in this
ward. I hope we can all try to fulfill our callings and strive to help
build our wards and the kingdom of god.
I'm doing well and love missionary work!
My training in the office is going good and I'll officially
"take-over" in exactly two weeks. I'm learning how to drive
here and continuing to learn how everything works. I'm excited to serve
in this assignment and look forward to working in "colder weather"
for a time, haha.
I know this church is true and god lives!
Have a great week everyone!
Love,
Elder Jensen
