Jenn on a Mission

Hi Family, It was so good to talk to all of you on Christmas and catch up on how  you are doing. We had a wonderful week of Christmas with the work here  in Petersburg, with the holiday going on it was easier yet harder to  pin people down. We visited with allot of people in town and made our  way around on the 24th as Ulabucking took place that day. Allot of  people come home for the holiday's as I have never seen the streets so  full in all the days I have been in this little town. Ulabucking (which  I am sure I am spelling wrong) is a Norwegian tradition which the town  or stores give back to society for shopping their year round, the way  they do this is by giving away a bunch of food and goodies. It is  pretty crazy to say the least, some places give away full on meals. We  had a good time as everyone in the town is out and about visiting and  wishing everyone a merry Christmas. I would have to say Petersbu...

Hi Friends and Family! This week has been such a great week, I was able to have a great Christmas present as that is what I think of it. As I experienced a great Baptism of Joe Prus. To see him make this change in his life and enter the waters of baptism is such a gift. My thoughts are turned to the savior and the gift he has provided for all of us if we but partake. I am so thankful this Christmas season for the gift of life to be on this earth and be able to have experiences. Being a missionary has truly blessed my life and has forever changed it. I am hope that this Christmas season you will all take the time to think about your savior and the sacrifice he has made for you. I am loving it here in Petersburg, it has been cold as the sun is shining. We have been visiting as many as we can and just enjoying the spirit that comes with Christmas. I am thankful for the members here and their willingness to help. Sister cook came and helped me on Wednesday...

 "I am walking on a cloud" Hi Family and Friends,   So this past week has been great, I love entering into the Christmas season.  We has some great things happen this week that have really touched my heart. On Tuesday we had the privilege of teaching a new investigator by the name of Tina, we have been trying to get a hold of Tina for a really long time and finally last week she made a appt with us. When we got there she was all ready for us to come, she did not grow up with any religion in her background and has always been searching. When she got married her husband grew up in the Catholic church so she thought naturally that is the church they would start attending. Well he did not want to go to that church as he felt forced to go all his life, I just sat there thinking not having anything in your life as far as belief goes and how hollow that would be.  She has started attending the bible church but is open to learning about the Mormon religion, we committ...
