It's
Finally spring time! and it is HOT in Saskatchewan. I would have never
guessed that. It's been about +35 this last week which is in the 90's.
Just crazy. But everything is finally turning green, and it's just
beautiful up here in Prince albert. Anyways, it's time to dig down to a
couple of stories from this last week.
Monday night our Zone leaders came up from Saskatoon, we had Elder
Schofield and this next transfer is actually his last, so It was most
likely the last time that I'll see him. It was pretty sad. So we had a
lot of fun.
Also, as many of you now know, on Tuesday, we got
the Facebook as a mission. We can use it for proselyting purposes only.
So basically gospel conversations, questions, posts, lessons, friend
shipping, Things of that nature. I've been trying to add a bunch of
people around PA and the mission, so don't feel bad if I haven't added
you back home. My facebook name is Elder Jake Sorenson. Feel free to add me.
Alrighty, So yes, we did have a baptism this last
week. My comp, the district leader, actually interviewed two people for
baptism this last week. It was great. He interviewed the one who got
baptised on saturday, and the one who is this next week who's been
investigating a while. We're all excited for her. But the one who just
got dunked, her name is Diva Jobb. I actually found her, and taught her a
little bit, but then I handed her over to the sisters. That was 6
months ago. They finally set a baptismal date, and I got the opportunity
of baptizing her this last Saturday. It was truly amazing. Her whole
family is coming back into activity and they were so proud of her.
Sunday we got a new bishopric. The existing
Bishopric was struggling. They were basically all less active. The
bishop worked in the states, so he was never there. We brought the
situation up to the stake level to make some changes, and they happened
yesterday. We got a whole new bishopric of power houses, but we all knew
who it was going to be, and it was going to happen.
One last thing. I'm finally leaving Prince Albert.
I'm so sad. I don't want to leave this place! After spending 1/4 of my
mission here, and getting to know basically everything about this area,
it's practically home. But the Lord needs me elsewhere. I'm being
transferred to the smallest area in the mission. It's a tiny little town
called Gull Lake, Saskatchewan. It's an hour away from the closest
missionaries, and it'll be just me and my comp. And the closest church
house is also an hour away. I'm excited, but really scared at the same
time. I feel like I'm leaving home again.
That's me this week. I love all you guys, thank you for all your prayers and support!
-Elder Jake Sorenson
