weekly update 3/12/2012

Hello family!
>
> On Tuesday, we had a round of inspired trainings. To me the focus
> seemed to be using the Book of Mormon to resolve concerns, and answer
> questions. I have recommitted to answering concerns with the Book of
> Mormon.
>
> This week we had a great miracle. We taught a couple named Gas (Gaz)
> and Sam. It started out just being Gas; Sam was in the other room on
> the phone. When the phone call was ended Sam came and sat in the
> lesson. She started cussing and saying there is no God. But by
> applying the trainings we had received on Tuesday about using the book
> of Mormon. We were able to resolve her concern about why bad things
> happen. We simply used the scripture about choice in 2 Nephi 2, which
> helped her to understand! After that we had a great lesson with them.
>
> Thomas Spencer came to church again this week. At first we were
> thinking he was too dependant on Lee Simcock, his member friend, but
> the past two weeks he has come to church on the bus on his own. We
> weren’t even really expecting him to come because usually he has work.
> So tom is doing great. We should be teaching him tonight at the
> bishop’s home.
>
> Elder Jensen is doing great. He is a great confident missionary. He is
> a great teacher with great lesson ideas. Before serving with him I
> always thought he was a quiet missionary but serving with him has
> shown that he is quite the opposite
