Jenkins, Joshua

Good morning!       I've never seen someone click on an email so fast! Kind of suspicious... We will circle back to the name of the email don't even worry about it. This week was an interesting one. We got sick for 2 of our busiest days of the transfer and that was depressing because we worked so hard to get lessons setup, and when we did I got sick. We also had zone conference and it was all about setting goals so it's not one to really write home about, but it was still good and uplifting. Just yesterday we had a really good lesson with Kennede. A few weeks prior I wrote how we had a good lesson with her about the truthfulness of the book of mormon and how the spirit was extremely strong. Well she said that God gave her an answer that it is true and she told us to come over cuz she had something she wanted to tell us. When we got there she said that God wants her to give our church another chance and she will be coming to church next week. I about fell over de...

Hey guys!       As many of you may have heard, I hit my 18 month milestone the other day. I'm not one to keep track of things at all, let alone how long I've been deprived of seeing my family, but it's settling in that my mission is almost accomplished and the end is near. I fly home July 13th, so just a few short months. Anyways, enough about talking about the end. Let's focus on what's happening here. We've still been on the tracting grind. Although this week has definitely been less tracting which is good. We are slowly starting to see some progress with the area, and with people scheduling appointments. We're praying and hoping that we can see these people make and keep commitments, and progress on the covenent path. Finding the motivation has been pretty hard for us recently. I know I mentioned that a few times in previous entry's, but it's been a struggle and one that has been getting harder. I think J Cole said it best: "...there's be...

Hey guys!       Well I'll just speed through my week this week since it all merges together. We have just been tracting everyday for hours, and teaching dozens of door step lessons. We had a few people tell us to come back but never answered when we did so it was discouraging at times. It's been hard waking up every morning knowing that all we have planned that day is knocking doors for multiple hours, but it's a good kind of hard. The weather hasn't been much help either, here I go sounding old talking about the weather, but it's been cold, rainy, super windy, and it even snowed just yesterday. We're praying daily to find the one person that God is preparing for us because all the hours of effort we put in is worth it if we just find one person. Elder Hepworth and I were discussing about how much more precious and special it feels to spend months in your mission working hard, testing your faith and seeing it grow and sometimes fall short, continuing to go out a...

Hey everyone!       Sorry for being late at writing emails lately! I know when I don't write them at the usual time people think I'm dead. (mostly my mom) This week has been a very busy week for us. We went tracting pretty much everyday in shine or rain or wind, and it's been all 3. We got some awesome door step lessons and even brought some members tracting with us which was good.       Marijuana runs this town. There's literally a weed store on every corner and everyone is always on dope. It makes street contacting and door approaches really weird because people just stare at you while they buffer and process what you say. It's kind of hilarious actually. Other than that not much has really changed. I'm doing really good and things are going well!  Thanks guys for reaching out! Hope you guys have a great week!
