Amazing Week!!

   Another amazing week in the mission! :) Where to start. On Monday we went out with Brother Griffin and saw a recent convert/less active. Adam .S is an amazing middle age man that loves the Gospel. Adam has not been to church for a couple of weeks because of work and school. But when we do see him at church or even are able to meet with him he has a very strong testimony.
     This week we've done lot's of contacting down on the board walks. Not to many people have be interested but still really nice people out here. One funny thing is the last couple of weeks that we've been down on the board walks contacting people we have run into members from out west. One was a mother and a son that were on a trip out to  Michigan just for fun and family stuff. They told us that it good to see that missionary's are doing work. Then this week we heard a couple of girls from a car say "Elders" so I look and did not recognize them. So we went over and the 20 year old girls told us that they are going to UVU in Utah. We said "cool" then just talked about where they are from and where we were form. Good girls but from what we got that they won't very active any more but who knows. It's just been a testimony to me that everyone is watching you and also there are always members watching the missioners everywhere you might be. :)
      We've been teaching the Hinkel  family over the last week or so. They are still on date for July 19th :) Two of the kids Joel and Joyce came to church yesterday and they said they loved it and want to comeback next week. Well that's what we heard from some of the members. So they are doing great, hopefully we can still keep the ball rolling. Other then that not to many investigators, still working with a couple less actives. Speaking about less active we were able to see a less active family that Elder Humphreys and I saw only a couple of time during our time as companions. The family asked us if we could come do some service for them so we did and then we got  kicked out because one of the Elders said something they did not like at all. It was right for the family to ask us  leave. The reason I bring this up is because even if you might think the joke might not hurt you it might hurt someone else. So we have to be smart in our talk with anyone we come into contact with.
    This last week we did not have District Meeting because of Zone Conference. It was crazy to sit there on Wednesday at Zone Conference and say that it was my last one. The Zone Conference went amazing. It was on revelation through Church, Prayer, Read and how we can get our recent converts to stay active after baptism! This week District Meeting will be focused on Finding! :)  Specifically how we can better use the surveys in our finding! In the mission they come out with a survey that will better help us know were the people are with religion and all. See if they are Joseph ( how President Holmes would put it! :)) I love the concept to find out if they would be more willing to listen and if they are the one.
  Other then that not much has been up. Will be going on ex-change this Wednesday :) Love the mission and really will miss it but for now just need to keep working.

 Love Elder Jenson
