WE AREN'T IN OCOA ANYMORE HERMANA JENSON (10 months down)


WOW I am so happy!! So happy to be a missionary! So happy to write you guys!! Just happy!!

Well so much happened this week! I am in Piantini!! The pure center of the capital of the country! And its so different, I would be lying if I told you I haven't had any culture shock all week! It feels really strange to see cars everywhere have to contact buildings higher than the clouds by intercom and shower with hot water and have power all the time! but I'm slowly adjusting!! 

WILSON!!!!!! So there is the cutest tallest Haitian man named Wilson, he was invited to come to church by his friend and has been going for the last month, the hermanas before me were having a really hard time finding him but finally when I got here we were able to finish teaching him all the leccions and he will be able to enter into the waters of baptism this week!!!! This will be the first baptism here in Piantini in over a year! We are so happy and so excited! We have seen a pure miracle come out of him. He used to be a Jehova's witness missionary.. when we were teaching him about repentance, he stopped and looked at us and said hermanas before I can get baptized I really need to repent I have been leading so many people away from the truth! It was like an Alma the Younger folding out before our eyes this week! I have seriously felt like his conversion was easy on our part. We have been obedient and just doing what we are asked and I have literally seen and felt the spirit doing all the work with our dear friend Wilson! He wants to go to the temple and is overly excited and pure gold! More pictures to come this week! 

We have another investigator that is new who will be entering into the waters of baptism the following 2 weeks!! He has been a miracle unfolding before our eyes as well!! I have felt the spirit in abundance this week just flowing from me and watching the way it influences people!! 

Someone didn't show up for church this week so I was able to give a talk at the last minute! Haha What a welcoming gift! And our ward in the ENGLISH ward, so anyone who lives here in the DR who speaks English comes and there are translators.. so someone was translating me in sacrament meeting from Spanish to English. 
I was able to teach my first leccion in English too..lets just say.. I have forgotten all English words that have to do with the gospel!! Haha it was a struggle but the spirit helped!! 

Guys I know this is the truth! and I know we can be happy only through the true church of Jesus Christ!:))) 

Keep being good!! 

Love you all
