Hey mom!

This week has been okay. Last Monday, we had dinner with a family in the ward. Sister Johnson knew them from back home, and we helped them set up a family mission plan. We also went to another member's house, and they gave us a picture of the Brigham City temple, that the husband took, and it looks like a professional picture. They also gave us a study journal, because they had just gotten back from a trip to Nauvoo.

On Tuesday, we were heading to our dinner appointment, and we drove past a street called Johnson Rd. We stopped to take a picture, and Sister Johnson forgot to keep the keys with her, and we ended up locking the keys in the car. After a big hassle, and having to call AAA, we found out that the passenger's door was unlocked!

On Wednesday, we had Zone meeting and we learned that at the start of next transfer, which is next week, we will be sharing cars. So now, I am going to have to buy a bike. I am so NOT excited to be riding a bike!! For dinner, we ate with a member at a restaurant, and the food was really good. We also taught a lesson to an investigator, and we taught her the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It was a really spiritual lesson that we had.

On Thursday, we had exchanges with our Sister Training Leaders. I went to Xenia (zeen-ya) with Sister Bowie and we taught 2 lessons: one to a recent convert, and another to an investigator couple. We taught the recent convert more about the Word of Wisdom and tithing. The investigators, we taught the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I had a fun time being on exchanges!

On Friday, we had a very productive weekly planning session. We had dinner with a member, and we had pizza. That was the 7th time in the past 2 weeks that we have had pizza, and I am getting tired of it! We also met with 2 of our investigators, but we ended up just getting to know them better. Meanwhile, one of their neighbor's almost died of a drug overdose.

On Saturday, we taught some less-active members the Restoration as review for them. We went to a baptism for the YSA branch, with some of our recent converts. It was a good reminder for me of my baptism.

Yesterday was another eventful day! We had church and I got up and bore my testimony! I learned about missionary work in the wards, and about forgiveness. We got a new investigator, whose name is Vicki. She is awesome!

We had a lesson with a recent convert, who just moved back to the US after being in Japan to teach English. We taught her the Restoration, and I really felt the Spirit there with us.

After that, Sister Johnson was getting something out of the trunk of the car, and locked the keys in there, but the rest of the car was unlocked.

I look forward to hearing from you!

All my love,

Sister Jennifer Rose
