Alright
this week was the weirdest week of my Mission for sure in terms of
scheduling. I will try my best to fill
ya in.
Sunday,
we slept in the Secretaries’ house in Farol.
We drove to Aracaju on Monday morning and cleaned up the church there
and got everything all set up. Then we
slept in Grageru 2. We woke up the next
day and had our Leadership Meeting! I
was honestly pretty dang nervous to do the training we had, but it ended up
going really well (I think!!!). I really
want to do a good job as Assistant and make a difference which kinda makes me
stress out. It was the same thing in
other positions as well until I felt more comfortable and more confident . . .
I’m sure I will get better! (I Hope!!!!)
We
slept in Grageru 2 again that night and then went back to Maceió on Wednesday
morning. We ate in Farol and finished
the Mission e-mail and finished up the numbers from the previous week which
took a few hours. We had to clean up
that chapel there as well so we ended up getting back to the house in Farol at
like 11:30 which was terrible, but worth it.
Thursday
was the same Meeting as Tuesday just with other people. I felt like it went better the second time
around. I felt a little bit more
comfortable =) That night . . . I GOT TO SLEEP IN MY OWN
BED. Oh, so nice. I have so much respect for people who travel
a lot now . . . Haha.

Friday,
we got to work in our own area and Saturday as well. Unfortunately, we lost a lot of time trying
to close up Simones Baptism which . . . HAPPENED!!! Simone was Baptized!!! That was super legit to see and she seemed
very happy. Unfortunately, we weren’t
able to find many new investigators because our time was so little . . . It’s
pretty frustrating to finish the week with numbers that are so low, but I guess
I will just have to be very, very, VERY efficient with the little time that I
have. It’s a good lesson to learn.
For
this next Saturday, Aristotele’s is going to be Baptized =) It’s
already all set up. His dad is going to
Baptize him and all that good stuff =)
Elder
Rodrigues said something this week that helped me out a little bit with all the
tiredness and craziness. He said that
being Assistant has helped him to learn to love serving others. Basically, everything we do is to make sure
that the other Missionaries are good to go and are doing their best. It’s not very easy to sacrifice so much of my
own time for other people. It’s
something that I’m really not used to doing.
But I can see how important it is and why God expects it of us. Service is literally giving up your time for
other people. I always knew that, but
maybe I never had really LIVED that until now.
I think I am just starting right now.
But it’s a good lesson to learn
=)
That’s
about all I got!! I LOVE YOU
ALL!!!!!!!! Be good, be safe, write
lots!! TCHAU!!!!!!!
Love,
Elder Dylan Miles Jensen
