we are instruments in the Lord's hands

Sept. 2, 2014

today is Tuesday, sorry i couldn't email this past Monday, LABOR DAY!

we went to the lake here, and swam, and tanned, and wake boarded, and
had SOOOO MUCH FUNN!.... not.

haha no this past labor day was fun though. We got together as a zone
and played soccer.. like always but it was SOOOOO fun! it is BLOOMIN
HOT HERE. humidity is out of control.

This week has been super fun! A lot of fun things!

Last Monday we had a softball tournament between half of the mission!
it was fun because sister duke and elder welburn were there! Also i
just LOVE like all the missionaries here! its so weird how they just
feel like your family. honestly.
Tuesday i had exchanges with SISTER DUKE! haha
She is my leader so she and I got to go on an exchange to Bayonne! oh
my gosh it was just heaven haha i love that girl! EMily Taggart (presidents daughter) came out with us all day! it was so fun because she literally is just like us! Also i just think she needed it, because she is in her senior year, and she doesn't really know a lot of people so she just needs like friends! We taught A LOT OF PEOPLE
together, and then some way or another i took the wrong turn and we ended up in Newark so yeahh.. that was awesome! haha we had no money,
and gracias a hermana emily taggart she paid the toll!

Then on Saturday the bravos came to see me! oh gosh i LOVE them. She called me and was like i heard transfers are coming soon so can we come see you just in case you get transferred somewhere else far!
literally i appreciate so much the relationships that i have made on my mission.

classic story. the Muslim friend that we contacted came to church AGAIN. in his dress and without shoes. everyone at the church weren't so friendly about him being there... don't know why but he really has a
lot of questions, and writes things down like he takes notes! I hope he is sincerely looking and the people can see that.

something i kind of realized this week was how we truly are just instruments in the Lords hands.
update on Paola. kind of a cool well shes the mom that i told you about last time. We were over there and she was just talking to us, and she actually wanted us to teach her. Usually before we just would
go and she didn't really want us to teach her. BUT this time she was like can you teach me something? she also asked if she could have more "homework" to read! WHAT? why did she say that? She goes ya know i was
really just reflecting on a lot of things and i really am grateful for the prayer that you girls said before i was arrested.. She said if we
wouldn't of have done that, she wouldn't of been calm and understanding at that point. She said she truly felt this peace, that she has never really felt before. And the time she was in prison sitting there she
thought a lot about what we have taught her. She said God had put us there right at the time that she needed Him (His word) the most.



Anyways a lot of other things have happened this week that just i don't have time to explain or write, but i just really want you to know that i LOVE being a missionary. I love it. Its so different than any other thing i have done, or will do. It is a pleasure serving my Lord. I am
starting to reflect a lot on everything that has happened, and all that i have learned, and i honestly am so GRATEFUL for the opportunity to be here in new jersey trying to help others come unto Christ. I love this Gospel. Sincerely i love the way of life that it allows you
to have. It leads and guides us to happiness. This is His work.This is His gospel, and we are privileged to be apart of it! Find someone this week that doesn't have this happiness and let them take part of the sweetest fruit on this earth!



LOVE YOU ALL. literally I'm obsessed with you family. you are all so
cute. I'm dying to see you, but oh so grateful for all the time i have
left!

love : hermana jorgensen xoxx
