Okay so it's been honestly a really good week. But in big news...Tori is getting baptized this saturday!! wahoo! I am so excited for her. She is such a sweetheart and she knows the church is true. But saturday we had an amazing lesson with her, her grandpa, and a member. We were talking about the gift of the Holy Ghost and how we all need it to help direct our lives--well then we asked her again if she'd get baptized and the answer was still unsure. Then finally we had her kneel down and pray so she did and well...we waited in silence and she got her answer. The answer was yes! So we are so excited for her.

Transfer calls have happened yet again, they happened on Friday and well....Sister Welch and I are staying in H'burg. We are however getting another companion and Sister Welch is training and I am "supervising". In other words I am finishing up Welch's training while she trains haha it's complicated but it works!! That's what Keyes, Zemp, and I all did...minus the fact I had a broken ankle the entire time but it's all good.

Thursday we were able to meet with a member and while we were at her house we were planning on just keeping it a short visit. It got to be like 11 and we thought we would just let her go because there was a lot going on with her house. Well right when we were going to tell her we were going to go she looked at us and said well do you have any apts for lunch? I said, "Well no." she said, "Well I wanted to take y'all to Olive Garden is that okay with you? Umm....she just asked if we could go to Olive Garden...um..of course it's okay with us!!! She was so cute and we got to know Sister Brackman a lot better.

We got a new ward mission leader! It's Bro Fitzgerald and we are so happy it's him. It's funny because Saturday we all ate at their house and while we were there I looked at him and said, "What if your the mission leader?!" He laughed and said, "Well, I've been interviewed for it." then come Sunday and they announce that Bro Fitzgerald is the new ward mission leader! I was so happy. We met with him last night and he's going to be great.

This email might seem short...well that's because it is. I literally am just so excited for Tori on saturday. Were going to be doing a lot of preparation for her she's getting interviewed tonight by Elder Anderson so life will be great!! She is so ready!

Anyways...we are going to be getting our apt ready for our new comp and things in Hattisburg are going great. I really do love it here. I love the ward! Two talks were given on missionary work yesterday and they were excellent. I was fist pumping not very noticeably the whole time. Also...we had five investigators at church yesterday!! I was slightly freaking out. One left during church because of health. But the other 4 stayed and all came to class. Well....consequently I was teaching class. Yep...my heart felt like it was going to pop out of my chest and all I could do was plead that the spirit was there. Not gonna lie there were some awkward parts of the lesson mostly because I was so nervous and didn't want to mess anything up. But they tell us that as long as we have the spirit and are trying to always follow it then we won't mess up. Well...I was def doing that all day so I hope and pray they come next week and we'll get to meet with them all this week. Oh and fall was in the air yesterday!! There was a breeze and Welch and I were freaking out. I sang "It's Autumn time" all the way to the library. Of course it's not a Utah Autumn...but it's way better then the summer heat. But I'm sure the hot days are not over yet. At least that's what everyone is telling me. Kayla and Carissa you both were beautiful for homecoming!! I have hott sista's! Men...stay away...there's an over protective sister in mississippi that will threaten you if you break their hearts! So just be friends with them yeah? It's much easier that way.

Nothing like a man threat to end my email with....but I was serious. Treat my girls right...you two deserve the best.

Okay so anyways...the church is true the missions great.
I love y'all I am so grateful I am out here serving my Heavenly Father. Really there is nothing like this--I love the people of MS and I am SO excited for this week.

Your in my prayers. Love y'all.

Love Sister Jenkins
