Letter #68 - Week 71: The Day of Miracles Has Not Ceased

January 27, 2020






Hola Everyone!

The most important part of this week is that Pedro got baptized! It was incredible to see all the changes he made in order to be baptized and how God lead him to this point. The ward was absolutely wonderful as well, so many people came to support him and his first step. The young men condesended to getting filmed to make a cute video welcoming Pedro to the ward and sharing their testimonies.

Hermana Haws and I matched for the baptism, and then the next day at church we decided that we were just going to switch outfits, down to the way that we did our hair. We thought that we were deeply hilarious and pleased with the results that came with it.

One of my dreams was realized on Thursday when we went to a meeting in North Brooklyn late at night. President Teuscher was there, and he ended up taking us home in his Tesla. On the way to the meeting though I stubbed my toe, and it hurt a lot, but I didn't think too much about it. When I got home and took off my shoes and socks, I discovered a cracked, bloody toenail. Most of the stubbed part has fallen off now, and all is well in Zion.

Earlier in the week we had interviews, which were very happy and uplifting as always. Now is the perfect time to be a missionary in New York City.

We had our deep cleaning checks, which more turned out to be the Senior Couple asking if we had everything that we needed and not worrying too much about how deeply cleaned our apartment was. A miracle came to past and Hermana Haws found her brush that she had lost for about three weeks.

This week has just been so full of small miracles and tender mercies. And it's wonderful to think that as long as we're doing what we're supposed to, then we get to see those things all the time.

Alma 24:23-27

23 Now when the Lamanites saw that their brethren would not flee from the sword, neither would they turn aside to the right hand or to the left, but that they would lie down and perish, and praised God even in the very act of perishing under the sword—

24 Now when the Lamanites saw this they did forbear from slaying them; and there were many whose hearts had swollen in them for those of their brethren who had fallen under the sword, for they repented of the things which they had done.

25 And it came to pass that they threw down their weapons of war, and they would not take them again, for they were stung for the murders which they had committed; and they came down even as their brethren, relying upon the mercies of those whose arms were lifted to slay them.

26 And it came to pass that the people of God were joined that day by more than the number who had been slain; and those who had been slain were righteous people, therefore we have no reason to doubt but what they were saved.

27 And there was not a wicked man slain among them; but there were more than a thousand brought to the knowledge of the truth; thus we see that the Lord worketh in many ways to the salvation of his people.

¡Os Amo!

-Hermana Prue

Letter #17 - Week 19: Basically All Pictures I've Ever Sent Home Were Taken or Initiated by Hermana Jensen

January 28, 2019 Hola Everyone! This Tuesday I left Hermana Jesen in a parking lot and navigated the relatively short distance home with my two new companions. It's been interesting seeing how they do missionary work and figuring out how we're going to do missionary work together. They have been enjoying all of the Asian people though, so this transfer should remain as exciting as ever. Several weeks ago a Chinese missionary handed me a stack of their Christmas cards because they didn't want to deal with them. I put one on the refrigerator, but after that I just stuck them in my purse with my pass-along cards and kind of forgot about it. A few weeks back I decided I might as well use them and started showing them as an approach for talking to Chinese people, usually just giving them an English class card after. It's been kind of fun to do that, but this week it didn't work as planned. We were riding down an elevator 10 floors with a Chinese lady,...

Letter #33 - Week 35: I Guess I Just Have That Country Bumpkin Vibe, Maybe It's The Food In My Hair

May 20, 2019 Hola Everyone! This week was a week of miracles! It was our best proselytizing week of the transfer, and we met such a sweet soul. Her name is Mirella, and she is dating a member of the YSA ward. We decided to look her up a couple of weeks back, and she wasn't home. I apparently called her, but I only kind of remember it and obviously forgot about it. We then went to look her up again and she turned out to be one of the coolest people ever! On our first real lesson she looked at a calendar and decided that June 15th was a good day to be baptized. We couldn't agree more! She is so prepared to start living more fully the Gospel of Jesus Christ in her life. It is going to bless her so much, so stay tuned. We saw lots of huge miracles with little José this week. I now have a greater testimony that through the small efforts of many that Heavenly Father works His greatest miracles. As we put our best foot forward in faith, God will make much more of our ef...

Ive never experienced those harsh New England winters they always seem to talk about, but still bracing myself I guess. Ward Conference had some wonderful spiritual insights. To our delight, the stake president did some leadership training about member missionary work coordination and it was lots of fun to be with them while they were learning. Fun thing just happened. Hermana Haws and I were waiting for the bus coming home from shopping when Hermana Haws made eye contact with a lady holding a microphone and she asked to interview us asking us dental questions. It was low key awkward but fun #ifyoucanmakeitinnycyoucanmakeiyanywhere This ...
