CALL US "JENFIERI"!

HELLO!! 'twas another awesome week here in Boynton Beach. I am loving every single minute of my time in this area. We have nicknamed it "the Miracle Factory". 

This week felt like 2 seconds and 5 years all in one, I wish I could explain it better but really it makes no sense. I’m sure I’ve said this before but this week I felt like such and instrument in the lords hands. It’s the most humbling yet fulfilling feeling ever. 

This week one miracle that we saw was from fasting. We were fasting with our investigator, Deitra, on the day of her baptism. Well, her baptism was scheduled for 11am and so we went over to the chapel around 9:30 to fill the font. We had called Deitra earlier that morning to see if there was anything we could do to help, but she said no. Well, as we were filling the font, she called and said that her husband had to go to work and so she didn't want to get baptized without him there. We told her we could move the baptismal service to 7pm and she was a little hesitant. So, we went to her house and talked to her. When we got there she was on the phone with a family member for about 20 minutes and he was telling her to look up all these scriptures to prove us wrong. It was crazy. She told us that she had been feeling peace this morning and all, but that she was now unsure because she had all these different opinions being thrown at her by her family. We knew that she was ready. We have known that for a while as we have heard her bear her testimony to her family and friends. We prayed with her and talked to her and told her to pray about her baptism and to pay attention to how she felt in her heart. We left and told her that we would call at 4pm. So, we went out and we kept working. We knocked and taught some other investigators and we called her at 4pm. She said her husband still wasn't home, but that she would let us know. So we kept working and planning that the baptism was going to happen at 7pm. We ran home really quick to change before the baptism and to break our fast still not entirely sure what was happening. Well, in the car, we prayed to break our fast and we prayed that Deitra would be baptized tonight at 7pm and that her husband would be home in time. As soon as we ended the prayer, the phone rang and it was Deitra. She happily told us that she was ready and that her husband was home and that she would be at the church at 6:30. It was the happiest moment of my life and the baptismal service was so spiritually-packed. It was truly amazing!

We also just got off the phone with our investigator Alicia's boyfriend Fredi that told us that she wants to move her baptismal date up so that Fredi's Dad can baptize her. I will try to explain more about her next week! She is amazing!!!! and so is Fredi! 

We are teaching so many amazing people right now. I swear at least 7 times a day Sister Jensen and I just turn to each other and have a mini freak out about how awesome life is and how the lord is blessing us so much and really we have no idea why! 

This week was super full and super awesome, so much more happened but I really just can’t write it all down! I am so grateful for this adventure and all the lessons I can learn! 

I love you guys so much!!! Thank you for your support and love! I pray for you every day! Have a great week!
