Blue Water
 
     Well this week in the Blue Water  North area has been going pretty dang well and can't really complain much. It's been getting a little warmer then usually which is always nice. Have been able to where a sweeter.
   To start of the week last week we were able to see a couple of Less Actives that live way far from Croswell. They live over in Brown city which is about a 45 min drive and a lot of miles. So we had a couple of Less Actives that we have never meet, either of us so we decided to take a day out and see the 10 or so LA's. Elder Jones and I were able to do some service for an older guy that is a LA and he is way nice. I guess he just got out of the hospital for some kinda of surgery. We were able to clean his drive way off. Which is pretty cool because when we do ask anyone even LA if they need any help they usually say no but this time the guy we meet said yep. Elder Jones and I will probably stop on by on Tuesday when we are in the neighborhood.  After we stopped bye him Elder Jones and I stopped by a part member family which is way awesome. The daughter Haley and the mother Vanessa which is not a member yet. Anyways Elder Jones and I knocked on the door and Vanessa invited us in and said that Haley (member of 5 yrs, 15 yr old)  was not there but if we stopped bye tomorrow we could come over for dinner and a message, which surprised  both of us because we were not expecting that. So we set up for the next night and we had a ZL (Zone Leader) with us Elder Chamberlain. The Lesson went way great, just reviewed The Restoration Of The Gospel Of Jesus Christ with the pamphlets. :) Elder Jones and I do great as a companionship! Picked up Vanessa as a new investigator and planning on going over tomorrow night and watching the Jesus Christ video with Vanessa and Haley because they have the DVD that the missionary's in the past gave them but they have not watched it so Elder Jones and I are planning on watching that and doing an introduction of The Book Of Mormon.  Other then that that the really only investigator that we have :/ will be looking for some more this week through PM (part member family's).
   So we went of to Brown City, MI which I said in the first part of the email and it is a pretty cool town. Brown City is about the size of Kanab,UT and it does remind me a lot of back home just like the streets and the lay out of the town. The cool thing about Brown City is that for the welcome sign to Brown City I guess it's the home of the birth place of the Motor homes and also have a little Amish community so we've seen Amish people walking on the side of the street and some biggie's.
  I was able to go on an exchange over the weekend with Elder Humphreys because the Elder Williams (DL) wanted to go with Elder Jones up in our area. Elder Humphrey has been out about 8 months and is an amazing Elder! Elder Humphreys and I have some funny story's from that exchange like getting flipped off and also the same person told us the "-


, Off". We were heading back to the apartment for the night to start the exchange and Elder Humphreys was getting ride on by the car in back of him and he switched lines  right when the person in back of him switch so they won't to happy about that. I sure did let us know! The next morning Elder Humphreys and I went tracking, had much success and had many great lessons with investigators in there area! It sure was good being able to teach a lot and go tracking! There area is like ST. George and  Elder Jones and my area is just like Kanab but smaller town but the same distance about to St. George (Port Huron).
   Well this week in transfers so that should be interesting and we have specialized training down  in Warren area on Wednesday :) about a 2 hr dive to get down there.
                               Well Love you family and have an amazing week!! Help the Sister missionary's out in Kanab when you have time because it's really hard to do missionary work in a very big area with small town with people knowing your car and all. :) Tell Derek that he should have a letter coming his way! Also did you get my letter I sent  last week??
 
        :) Love Elder Jenson
 P.S- Been looking through all the letters I've received and working on writing back to people that I've not got back to. So I will in the next couple of weeks send a package with letters you can hand out to who they say it goes to! :) Thanks and love you tons family
