Wherein Seth Sees A Miracle in His Companion

September 22, 2020

       Hey Mom. Thanks for the email, that's sad about Julia. It's nice that she can be with Bob again though. That's also good that Landen doesn't have the Rona. She's no fun. I also definitely forgot to mention that today is p-day instead of yesterday. Whoops. 

      But yeah, we're just chilling down here. This last week was crazy! We struggled through quarantine a little, saw some cool little miracles, (you can probably attach that story I sent through messenger here if you want), and actually, on Saturday we got a referral from a member out of the blue, and that like never happens so we both were super excited about that. 

      This week Elder Villanueva is having a big mission tour and we have like a TON of Zoom meetings with him so we have that to look forward to. other than that we are seeing a lot of little blessings from being missionaries in the Lord's vineyard and I am super grateful for all I have been given.

Love you lots mom,

Elder Bailey

Messenger message from Seth:

       So my comp has been missing his family a ton lately cause he's never really been away from home before so that's been a super hard struggle for him. (keep him in your prayers plz) but anyway, after Thursday and Friday not being great, I looked forward to today with high expectations cause we had service planned from 7am til 6pm so it was just gonna be a straight grind and hopefully enough work to keep his mind off of home. Those plans were kinda foiled this morning when I remembered that I was supposed to join a zoom training meeting for the district leaders from 8-10. So Elder Jensen just got to sit with his thoughts for two hours which didn't help with anything. Afterward, we went for a drive and then our second service project canceled so .

Then we went to help bro Leyva with his trailer and helped him sheetrock for like 2 or so hours which was good. then we went up to Albuquerque to help the sisters with service for one of their investigators, Ken. We painted his door for him and helped with some other stuff then the sisters had to go but we stayed behind to help a little longer. We got a really good discussion going about the church and prophets and really all sorts of stuff. Ken is a very logical thinker and wants things proven with facts. Not wanting to just start Bible-bashing we just started giving Ken one testimony after another and the spirit was super strong and Elder Jensen bore his testimony with all the conviction you could imagine and Ken just sat there amazed and the Holy Ghost was just a super strong and really awesome experience. Wish I could give it justice in writing but that's simply not possible.

Anyway, the miracle is after the fact when we got in the car to drive home Elder Jensen was a changed person. He was no longer homesick as before, he no longer doubted his testimony or whether or not he should be a missionary, he had testified by the power of the Holy Ghost and had seen its power worked upon someone else. He got his appetite back (he hadn't really eaten since getting here) and life just seemed so much brighter.
So that was a novel, whoops.
But no, same apartment same area. Just new comp.
What's up with Landen? Rona?
