How's life back home? Things are still going great
here in Mada. The week started out really well! We taught some really
great times. Then friday
we got a bomb dropped on us. Elder Coleman has an ingrown toenail, and
isn't allowed to work for a week. We've been just doing half day splits
and rotating with the other missionaries here in Fort D just so that our
area doesn't completely die at once. It makes it really hard to decide
who to teach because we only have time for 3 or 4 lessons a day, so we
have to just focus completely on investigators that are close to
baptism, which makes for a frantic couple of hours every day. I would
say my favorite investigators here right now are Mahala and Alvine. They
are a younger couple, about 30 years old, and they should be getting
baptized on April 30.
They also have 2 little girls and one other child that died when he was
really little. We focus a lot on eternal families and it's been great
to just see them come to realize that they can see their little boy
again some day. They are such a happy family now and it's just a blast
every time we visit. Actually, Mahala has worked the last couple of
sundays, so I brought up that he should probably come to church. At that
point his wife chewed him out pretty good! Not really they were both
laughing about it they were'nt really fighting, but she definitely got
her point across because first thing sunday
morning he came walking into church with his family and she looked just
as happy as can be! Also Weekends got baptized this weekend!! See what I
did there? Even missionaries make jokes. It was a way awesome
experience. there were actually about 13 people who got baptized between
the two branches here. Also, fun fact, I am now working in the branch
of the church that is farthest away from church headquarters in Salt
Lake. There is literally not a single branch farther away. We are a 3 to
4 day bus ride from any church built buildings. It's just a great place
to be. Love you all so much,
Elder Jensen
