Another Great Week in the Blue Water area!

             This week has been a pretty good week for Elder Humphreys and I.  On Monday Elder Humphreys and I went shed hunting which was pretty fun. Did not find any sheds........So We've been trying to go to the jail here to teach someone but each time we go the person forgets to putt us on the list of visitors. So we've never been able to get in, same thing happen this last week so we decided about we go over to T.J Rinke's house and  teach a quick lesson and inform him about General Conference. The lesson went great! T.J is an amazing guy just looking for the truth. We also stopped by a couple of other people before we went in for the night.
  Tuesday- On Tuesday we had an apartment set at 10 am which is nice because I honestly still not a big fan of tracking just because I don't like talking to people because of my voice but anyways. Elder Humphreys and I have been teaching James .S off and on. James is kinda like TJ but really just want to get information about our church and all because he likes to study about other religions. We were able to teach James about the Plane Of Salvation and it did really open his eyes. We also saw him later in the week and went over The Gospel Of Jesus Christ and really focused on Why Christ was Baptized by John, Faith and other. I hope that he does know that we our trying to get him closer to Christ and also what it can do for his life now and on.
  Did stop by some other family's in the ward and just shared a spiritual thought. ( the ones I've been sending).
  Wednesday- Had District meeting, then went over to Crosswell and taught Grandman Green (eternal Investigator) about General Conference. Then during the lessons she asked us if we every did get an answer for her question to "Was having more then one wife before the 10 commandment breaking the law". So we called up President Gerber and he gave so really cool insight about that to Grandma Green and us.
    We've been able to move TJ Rinke's date up to April 19th which is awesome! Elder Humphreys and I during weekly planning (held Friday 10 am-1 pm)  felt like we should move his date up because he is way ready and there's no point of waiting an longer. So we text TJ and asked him how he feels about his baptism. He txted back and said I feel like we should move it up! :) So we did for the next week after General Conference but that did not work because of Stake Conference. So we will be having is April  19th. We've also put an investigator Kim P on date for May 3rd .
       This week is transfers, anything can happen. If we stay together which we our hoping will come out to be. 98% sure that this is my last area.  

             The answer to mom's question is I believe I will be coming home July 2nd.
Insight: So I'm almost done with the Book Of Mormon for the 3rd time on the mission. I was reading in Mormon 3. It kinda remind me of how we need to be able as friends and missionary's either drop our friends or investigators if they are not changing.  In Mormon 3: 9-16 it explains that Mormon stops helping the Nephites because they were not giving the acknowledgment to God and other.
  We need to be able to leave friends and investigators that are not willing to change for the best and comeback later and help them out. They first need to see the hardships before they can have the Joy.        

Love Elder Jenson :) Well love you Family and Friends! Keep up the great missionary work everyone
