I'm so glad that you got that video from Hermana Diaz :) She's not in our ward but she's in the H4 ward in Sugarland, which is in our zone and the other building around here that has a baptismal font! She was like "what's your moms number I'm going to send her a video!" and no that was Elder Tautu, he's one of the assistants to the President and he and I were just talking, my companions are behind the camera somewhere!
So this week was great! We are teaching two really great investigators named Jennifer and Levy. Jennifer is a referral from a member in H4 and is SO prepared, in our first lessons SHE asked US when she can get baptized, so she has a baptism date for 3 weeks from now and is super nice and great :) then we have Levy, who is the boyfriend of a girl in the YAS group in our ward. He's a little tentative about being baptized but he wants to find out if the church is true or not which is great! We have a few more but we still need to take some time to see if they have potential.
My week was GREAT! We have found a lot of new people to teach and we're super excited because three of them are families which is our favorite! One of the great parts of this week was the fact that Emily got set apart as a misionera! The girl we went to the temple with? She got set-apart last night and it was SUCH a great experience. It reminded me so much of what President Palmer said when I get set apart. Emily will spend tonight with the sisters in the ward and Tuesday morning she's gone! It has been so cool to get to work with her and help her get out on her mission :) the other great part of this week happened last night. So our ward had an english baptism yesterday! Wierd right? I serve in a Spanish ward. So this girl named Roxanne is super good friends with a few girls in our ward and seeing as our Young Womens is in English, decided she loved coming!!! So she has been coming off and on for the last year. She's 17 years old and just about to graduate from High School. Anyway last night she was baptized! President Hall said it was alright because she has friends in our ward. Get this though, none of her family was ever very interested in the gospel, but they always supported her in her decision. As she bore her testimony at the end of the baptism is reminded me SO MUCH of you. I could just see that she has such a great future and it was sweet to see a story exactly like yours. Though her family aren't members I have NO doubt that she'll become a super strong member of the church. It was a tear jerking experience to go through this experience because it showed me that what we do here is important. Someone like Roxanne in 20 years might have a son leaving on a mission to go help more families! Anyway, great week it was refreshing and full of the spirit :)
I'm glad you guys had a great week! I love to hear about your adventures and see the pictures. I love you all so much! Thank you for your example mom, you really are the best in the entire world :) Love you lots!
Elder Jensen
