This mother has been very delinquent on updating the blog for Jennifer. I am not sure why. Seems like many of the pictures I post here have not been showing up. Any suggestions would be appreciated... I will post her letters with the most current first (so start at the bottom, things might make more sense) As you will see, some weeks she writes a lot and others....not so much. She would love to hear from everyone. Her address is:
Sister Jennifer Rose
2373 Roseanne Ct.

Hey Mom!
I wasn't transferred this time, so no new address.
That is so cool that Amber and Ashley got to sing in the choir. I recognized more than half of the people in that choir.
I am so excited for Nichole and Kelliann, and their kids are SOOO CUTE!!
So
this week has been a little crazy with transfers and everything! My new
companion is Sister Glabb from Scottsdale, Arizona. She only has 6
weeks left on her mission. We got a referral from a member in our ward
for a part-member family. The wife is a member, and the husband is not.
However, He is interested in learning about church though, and they even
asked where the church building is.
Also, the member that gave us the referral, the husband, got the Aaronic Priesthood, and was ordained to Priest. One of the sets of elders had a baptism, Tayleah, a 9-year-old. Jason is still progressing towards baptism, and we are working towards the 15th of November.
The
weather here is starting to get colder! yesterday we woke up to frost
on the ground, and our windshield was covered in a layer of ice.
I am excited to start this transfer! I wonder what God has in store for us?
I hope everyone is doing well, and please write me letters! I love to get them and love to write them!
Love and miss everyone lots!
Love Always,
Sister Jennifer Rose

Hey Mom!
This week as definitely had its ups and downs. I hit a low point and am slowly working my way back out of it.
On Monday night, we taught one of our investigators, Jason, and we watched the "restoration" with him and his 3 boys.
My
birthday was awesome! It started out with painting birdhouses at a
member's house, then my package came. I told Sister Johnson, "Watch all
of my presents will be wrapped", and I was right. I love the dress and
skirt you sent me! They are super cute and comfortable to wear! For
dinner, we went to a member's house, and they made meatloaf for dinner,
because they asked me what I wanted. Also, they got me a red velvet
cake.
On Wednesday, we had dinner with a
family, who put 20 random candles on 2 cupcakes! I was laughing so hard
because they were melting, that I couldn't blow the candles out!
On Thursday,we taught Jason again, and extended baptism. We extended the date of November 15th, and he accepted!
On
Friday, we had the ward trunk or treat, and all of us missionaries,
since we can't dress up, we switched name tags. It was hilarious, and
everyone was confused!
On Saturday, we went to a baptism of a
9-year-old girl, Tayleah. Our district sang "I hope they call me on a
mission", because that is her favorite song. It was pretty bad because
none of the elders know how to sing on-key!
Yesterday, after church, we went to a member's house and carved pumpkins. It was fun!
Today, I went to the dentist to get the last part of my root canal done, and I didn't have to pay for it!
This week IS transfers, but we are allowed to write on Mondays
I will let you know what my new address is IF I get transferred.
Hope everyone is doing great!
Please write! I love to get letters!
Sincerely,
Sister Jennifer Rose

HEY MOM!!!
This week has been SOOOOOO much better than last week!
On Monday we had interviews with President Daines, and they went great.
On
Tuesday, it was pouring rain all day, and we were on bikes, but somehow
I managed to stay positive through it all. We also went on exchanges,
so I was in charge of deciding where to go.
On Wednesday, we
started teaching a friend of a member. He is super awesome, and he said
that if he knew the Book of Mormon is true then he would be baptized! We
also went with a member in our ward to get her patriarchal blessing.
On Thursday, we went to the temple, and we spent about a half hour in the celestial room.
On Friday, we showed an investigator a Mormon message and she loved it.
On
Saturday, we went to a guy's baptism. He has been waiting for almost a
year to be baptized. We also had Jason, our new investigator come with
us.
On Sunday of course we had church, and in Relief Society, we learned about prayer.
Today, we went to the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base Museum!

Hey mom!
My root canal went great!! I just had to get over the fear
of it all and I was fine. I wish I could just pick up the phone and call
you too!! I miss you lots!!
We don't really tract a whole lot, we mainly just go see potential
investigators. Our ward is awesome, and now that we have to ride bikes every other week, they are willing to help us out more. We stay fed most nights and it is really awesome food. I have been getting some of the recipes for them.

That's cool that there are 2 new wards in the stake. I know you will do great as the compassionate service leader!
I
wish I was going to California! Who is getting married? It is starting
to get cold here, and I have had to break out my scarves and boots and
things.
9am isn't that bad for church that is what we have every week!
This week has been a bit rough, but I am getting through it. We have been on bikes this week.
This
past week Sister Johnson popped a tire on the car, AND she had a
pinched nerve in her lower back so she was on crutches on Saturday and
Sunday.
Also, we are going to start teaching a
new investigator on Wednesday who is a member referral. Also, we get to
go with one of the members of our ward, while she gets her patriarchal
blessing.
I hope that this week will be better than last week was!
I look forward to hearing from you soon!
Love Always,

Hey mom!
Sooo... the weather has been crazy! It is only fall, but it
is already starting to feel like winter! The humidity isn't too bad.
However, today we had go and buy me some stuff for winter, and I got the
most adorable coat ever!!
For conference, we
went to members houses except for the Saturday Afternoon session, which
we watched at the church. That is amazing that Amber and Ashley got to
do that!! When I watch conference over again, I will have to look for
them.
I love sending Papa letters! That's so cute that he shows everyone that comes over! I almost started crying when I read that!
I
have my allergy pills. I am doing a lot better at riding a bike, and we
have a car the past week, so it will be fun riding a bike again. I
don't know why we live so far out of our area either!
We are both feeling better now, and Sister Johnson isn't sick anymore. She only had a really bad head cold.
This
past week, we actually got 2 new investigators, and one of them was a
potential investigator, whom another sister and I found on an exchange!
It was amazing!!
I hope to hear from Josh soon!
LOVE AND MISS ALL OF YOU!!
<3 Sister Jennifer Rose
