grocery shopping with the branch pres🤝

Hi I know it's actually only been 4 days since you last heard from me hehe but I know you all missed me anyway. Also I've been a missionary for 5 months now??? Crazy. Also also we have transfers next week so idk if you'll hear from me on Tuesday or Thursday stay tuned 

Highlights

- I have had some REAL sitcom moments this week. Basically we had to buy baptism refreshments but they lost the receipt for reimbursement so our branch pres just decided to do our grocery shopping for us. So we are sitting at home one night on face time with our branch pres so he could pick out our food.

Then we turn on our sink and and the water that comes out is BROWN. Like SUPER brown. And it just keeps running brown and then the filtered water was also brown but just like a little less brown??? Like this is my life rn and I can't help but just laugh at it because it seems like all a crazy dream and I'm living for it

- ENGLISH BOOT CAMP. how do you teach numbers and verbs to a bunch of 5 year olds??? boot. camp.  I had them counting while doing jumping jacks and then we played do as I'm doing and there was Singing. Dancing. Spinning. Clapping.

It was so chaotic and I'm amazed I had the energy to get through but it was SO much fun. Although I had to take a nap on the church floor after It was my kind of class tho fs.

- suvd-erdene and anujin got baptized!!! They are the cutest ever and I am so so proud of them! The best part was when they shared a simple and real testimony. I could actually understand those simple truths and it was amazing 

- got popsicles and ice cream because it's ice cream weather *shout out to everyone telling me it's a warm winter this year*

- played do you love your neighbor in English class (to describe clothes) and it was the most hype game ever

- I was gifted another bracelet and candy this week from the sweetest little girl I have only talked to her maybe like twice but I love her to pieces 

Spiritual thought

Today I would like to talk about names. Names are something we use everyday and so they don't always seem all that special. However I had two experiences this week that changed my mindset! Some people here (especially the kids) have a hard time saying Jensen or Jaiden so usually I just get called teacher or sister. 

While I was walking to the Anna home this week I past some of the kids on the street and one saw me and said "HI JAIDEN!" and then after a lesson 8 year old little Anujin kept saying "Sister Jensen and Sister Allen" I was shocked at the fact that both of these kids remembered and could say my name and it made me feel so special and loved! 

Then I remembered how God knows us ALL! there are so many examples in the scriptures where God calls his children by name! We really are all children of God and he loves and knows us all PERFECTLY. He knows your name!! Don't ever forget that! 

I love you all and have the best week ever  hairtai shuu
