Jenn on a Mission

It's time to dance! Break out the poodle skirts and come on over to the church! Sis. Booth and Sis. Dalton participated in a fun night of dancing and fun! Here they are in their poodle skirts: The kids also had a great time dancing! Subject: April Showers From: Jennifer Booth Date: April 26, 2010 12:17:54 PM PDT Hey Friends and Family! So I titled my email "April Showers" as kind of a joke as really there is no showers (as in rain) in April. It is all SNOW, and below is a funny picture of me tracting in the snow in the middle of April. The great thing about the snow is that it does melt after a couple days so we do not have it for too long. Alaska is pretty much just like Nevada or Arizona just opposite. Instead of getting hot and hotter we have cold and colder. It is just great:) I am sure looking forward to the summer when everything turns green. That is for sure! This week has been such a great week! The best news of the week is...

In Wasilla, Sis. Dalton and Sis. Booth had the opportunity to get to know an amazing family! It's the Coyle family, and they always welcome the new missionaries (we saw with the "greenie" dinner) and they also have the missionaries over for different occasions. Sister Booth and Sister Dalton were able to go over for Easter and have an "Easter" meal that was truly an interesting experience! Here they are: Sis. Coyle, Sis. Booth, and Sis. Dalton trying it: Everyone else trying it: It looks like it was an interesting time! Yum! Here's another email: Subject: A Week of Cancellations Date: April 19, 2010 Hi Family!!! So I called this email the week of cancellations as that is what seemed to happen to us a lot this week. Overall we had a really good week and I am very grateful for the Lord and to be here doing His work. Because of all the new investigators we had picked up from the week before we had a lot of ap...

Week of Finding and Teaching Hi Family and Friends,   This week was an amazing week! We were so busy with the work and had so much going on. We taught 5 new investigators this week which was great, we found a few tracking and a few from potentials. I have such a testimony that the lord truly leads us to the poeple he wants us to teach. We were going through the list of past potentials and decided to stop at this apt for one. While we were walking up to the door this gentleman was walking up to the same door, we asked if Britany lived there as that is the name we had. He told us he was the only one that lived there, gathering that she had moved we shared with him to see if he was interested. He told us no and that no one else lived in that apt except to the ones next to him. It was interesting as I would not have thought to knock on the doors of the other appts unless he had mentioned that no one lived in them except one person next to him.   I actually started walki...

So I'm not sure if this is the house where Sister Booth lives, or if it was the house of someone else. Either way, it sure looks cold! She's definitely putting her coat to good use!

A Week of Cancellations Hi Family!!!   And Amanda as I finally remembered to include your email so you will get them every week now:)  So I called this email the week of cancellations as that is what seemed to happen to us alot this week.  Overall we had a really good week and I am very grateful for the lord and to be here doing his work. Because of all the new investigators we had picked up from the week before we had alot of appointments scheduled for last week which is great.  Monday we started out and where supposed to visit with Krista and Case who we were excited to see, well they forgot we where coming and were leaving right when we got there. That was the start of our week, thankfully we rescheduled for another time, the pattern continued with at least 5 more appt we had throughout the week. Let's just say by Sunday when all 3 of our apartments fell through sister Dalton and I just laughed, at that point that is all there was to do.  I know there ...

Sister Booth and Sister Dalton were able to get together with the rest of their District to get some pictures and have some good times! The first pictures are of Sister Booth and Sister Dalton together: Say What? Having fun... Here they are with the rest of their District: From Left to right (Back): Sister Dalton, Elder Johnson, Sister Booth (Front): Elder Mitchell, Elder Smout, Elder Murphy Here they are doing funny poses and messing around: Here are some more District pictures, on some stairs at a member's house: Another nice group shot: Here's another letter from Sister Booth: Subject: Sick Week Date: April 5, 2010 Hi Family, So this week was a very long week, to say the least. Last Sunday evening my companion and I both came in and I go to get a vita pack. There is only one kind left, so I ask her if she wants it and she says that she needs it. I am thinking: "why?" I needed it as I could feel a cold coming on an...

 Sick Week Hi Family,   So this week was a very long week to say the least. Last sunday evening my companion and I both came in and i go to get a vita pack and there is only one kind left so i ask her if she wants it and she is like ya i need that. I am thinking why? I needed it as i could feel a cold coming on and apparently she did as well. Well what do you know monday morning Sister Dalton and I both woke up with a cold. kinda a bummer to start out our weeks to say the least. I would have to say that we still had a really good week all things considering. We where able to teach a new investigator on tuesday, his wife who is a member we have been teaching for some time now and we have talked about teaching her husband. Well she talked to him and he decided that he wanted to learn more, it went really well and he was excited to read and learn more about the BOM. With jobs here is it hard becuase they often work on the slopes or the mines and how that works is they will...

Subject: Mushing Date: March 29, 2010 12:23:40 PM PDT Hi Family! This week has been a good week. Last Monday after I was done emailing and shopping we went mushing as a zone. That was a pretty sweet activity for sure, so now I can say that I have ridden on a dog sled. I have some cool pictures from it so I will be sending them your way soon. Saturday was also transfer day, seems crazy I have already been here for 6 weeks. And wow Mom, I cannot believe all those people are coming home! I guess that is how you will feel about me. I found out that I am staying and so is my companion. We were pretty excited for sure as we really like serving together and wanted to do at least one more transfer together. A lot of our focus was less actives, and I have to say that they can be harder to work with than the investigators. Each of them have their own stories and reasons as to why they are not going to church anymore. Trying to get them to figure out why they are not coming...
