Covenants Made, Elder Jensen Stayed


I'm so pumped that I get to stay here another transfer. For so many reasons!

First off, Elder Heffner is the man! He is actually like the next level super human generation of missionary. And this man likes to bike like me so we've been on the bikes every day this week! Polar biking!!!!!!!!! It's super awesome! He's from Susanville California and has only been out for 6 weeks so I'm kinda like his second trainer, but in all reality he is training me and is going to make this place his own.

This week has been kinda stressful because we were preparing for the baptisms this week, but everything went well and I know prayers from family and friends helped everything go smoothly!! Crazy tender mercies! One of the coolest things is our mission president was able to come to the Lowe building on Wednesday and interview the Rotimi Family for baptism! They passed with flying colors and it turns out that David and Yetunde did a hotel business back in Nigeria and that's what president does! So that was pretty sick and it was cool to take president around in Englewood and in the Lowe building.

Our District leader Elder Noble was able to come and interview Gabriel, Ronke, and Joseph as well which was awesome because it's always legendary to have 4 missionaries at once in the Lowe building.

I was able to interview the people in the DL's area and their names are Bola and Estonia and they are also super awesome! We had a super great Nigerian baptism! 7 people in the Hyde Park Ward Got baptized and 8 people in the Chicago stake! Our zone crushed the goal we set for December and are still looking good for the next few weeks! It's going to be a white Christmas for Chicago!!!! (Except kinda a black Christmas because we don't really have a lot of white people we're teaching)

Anyway, we no longer really have anyone we're teaching solidly so it's time to hit the find grind again and find some more people!!! We're pumped to get this place booming again and are trying to find some more Nigerian families!

Hope everyone has an amazing week! Invite as many people as possible to church next week cause it's going to be legendary!!
