Well this week was just crazy!!! First, in honor of Thanksgiving, I want to say how very thankful I am for all of you and I love you all!!!! I have been surrounded by so many amazing, beautiful and bright people. All of you have made my life so special and fun and I'm so grateful for that. Well, I want to just update you on transfers and tell you my new assignment and that will be all for this week.
I have been assigned to Janakpuri West. It is a home group that is part of the Dwarka ward. Me and my wonderful new companion, Elder Nelli will be taking over the home group. This was a curve ball for me cause I thought i would be staying in Lajpat, but i'm grateful for this change and opportunity. The home group is very different than a normal ward. We meet for an hour and a half on Sunday. We take the sacrament and then we have a gospel principles class. We meet in a rented out building and there are about 25 members who attend. Our whole goal is to turn it into a branch in the next 3-4 months!! We have a lot of work ahead of us and we are excited to do this. The hardest part right now is travel. We spend lots of time and money on traveling, so we have to really plan well so no more eating out for me... that means I am going to lose the 20 pounds that I have gained here in India! Well this last week was a blur and now I am in a totally new area! That is gonna be all for the week. I am sorry this is so short, but most of you never read the whole thing so I think it will be ok!!! Next weeks email will be more detailed and fun! I hope you all have a great week! I love you all:) Things are super busy and stressful over here in India, but i'm happy to be here and love serving the Lord!!! It is the greatest thing I could have chosen to do in my life so far!!
Less than 30 days till Christmas!!! Can't wait to see the Jorgensen clan and their beautiful faces!!!
Spiritual message:
I just want to share a little experience for my message this week! So with transfers happening and hearing that I was leaving, I was sad that i would not be able to continue teaching Jothi and Krishen. I knelt down that night and said probably the most serious sincere prayer and asked my Heavenly Father if it was possible for me to continue to teach them...I asked to make that possible. I moved out and left to my new area! Friday night I got a call and it was Jothi. She was asking how i was doing and just saying hi. She asked where I had been transferred to and when she heard that I said Janakpuri west she got really happy! She then went on to tell me that her and Krishen were moving to Uttam Nagar east... which is in our area!!! I still get to teach them:) I wanna just say that true faith with prayer will unleash miracles!! I'm so grateful for prayer and the many times I get to communicate with my Heavenly Father and ask for blessings! It's amazing to see those blessings happen because of faith! The church is true people and this gospel is beautiful and perfect! I love it!
