It's so unbelievable to think that it is already a new month, and
almost a new year. Time is flying by, but only because I'm having the
time of my life:)
This week was especially special because I got to meet my new
companion. There were about 31 other missionaries there in the church
waiting to accept the new missionaries. When they all came in, it was
so incredible to see and feel their excitement and hope for what their
missions would mean to them. I was so nervous just waiting there and
wondering who would be my new companion! Finally, the waiting was overand I was introduced to my new companion....ELDER MILLER! He is
probably one of the most amazing missionaries I've ever met and
honestly is training me. He is from west valley, you guessed it, UTAH,
and is the first missionary from his family. He is always smiling,
doesn't let anyone pass without saying hello and asking how they are,
and will not let you live 5 minutes without complimenting you. He is
well prepared to work and i am so excited to learn from him and work
with him. He is the trainee that every missionary hopes for and I hope
that I can be the trainer he deserves.
Other than that things are going great here. It was an amazing
opportunity to watch the general conference and hear the guidance from
God for us today. I know there are a to of things that I have to
change and work on and now I can focus on doing them! Spain is great!
The weather is cooling down and we have a month left of waking up at
7:30 so life is still good.
Sorry I don't have a lot of funny or amazing stories. Everything is
moving super fast so we are just trying to get our feet back under us.
We did have a pretty funny conversation as elder Miller found that
there were two toilet looking things in the bathroom and was trying to
figure out what the second one was for (the bidet). I'm sure more
cultural experience stories will come. I love you all and wish the
best for you this week.
Love, elder Jenkins
1. Our weaknesses help us just as much as our strengths do
2. Faith is either increasing or decreasing, it's never stagnant. It
increases as it is exercised
3. Believing comes by choice, not by chance
4. There is nothing impressive about skepticism
5. Don't be critical of the barriers that keep us safe
6. We don't need to endure our trials, but learn from our trials
