Elder Cristian Jenson: December 23, 2013

Hey Family this week has been a great week in the Warren area. We had Zone Conference on Tuesday and it went great, we were able to learn how to us the new teaching (the pamphlets) more insight and how we can go deeper into it then just asking them what they see in the picture.

Elder Carter and I have been doing great, We've just been working with the investigators that we do have and also less actives, which is has been a great experience and a funny one. One of the family's that we have been working with is an husband and a wife that live down in Detroit on 7 mile, which is not the best place. But anyways we took Bishop Lund with us to an apartment we had. It went great but during the lessons we heard a mouse and Elder Carter saw the mouse running across the kitchen floor. The family was a referral that we we received a couple weeks ago, nice couple (40's) So it's been very interesting this week with work with this family. Will take a lot of time but will hopefully baptism sometime in the future. The couple does have a good heart and want to change.
Elder Carter and I have been working with this member that just moved into the area this week. She reminds me a lot of Linda (mom's sister, that we moved a lot), I've been able to work on understanding people, working on not judging, also patience with them.
Yesterday was a great day, The Warren ward did a surprise party for me after church which was really cool! Also President Gerber called me up in the morning and wished me an Happy Birthday which is cool to see.
Over all the week has been great!
