12 days of Christmas project



Hi everyone!

Hope you are all having a good December so far; I've been hearing about some crazy storms back home! Hope you're all staying warm and safe. It's starting to get really cold, but no snow yet. Just lots of rain. I'm sure it's around the corner, though.

Highlight of the Week: our 12 days of Christmas project
(see attatched picture)

We picked four families in the ward and did a little project with them. First, they picked a friend or neighbor who might be open to the gospel. Then we made up a package of Christmas gifts, quotes, and scriptures (all Christ-themed) that they could deliver secretly every day for 12 days, leading up to Christmas. We had a lot of fun putting it all together, and the members thought it was a great idea. The plan is that we'll go over with them on the last day, when they reveal themselves, and we'll sing them some Christmas songs and share a thought. Then we'll ask them if they want to learn more, and the member will invite them to church!

Other than that, it's been a pretty cold, hard week. We don't have a lot of investigators at the moment, and so we have to spend a lot of our time tracting, which is kind of hard around Christmas time. We try to do a lot with the Elders. It's nice, having another set of missionaries in the same city. There's a big push in our mission right now to try new, creative ideas. We've thought of a few, but most of the ones we dream up are either expensive or could get us arrested. So we're trying to brainstorm, haha. (If anyone has any sweet-awesome ideas that can be done with 2-4 missionaries, let me know! :))

I'm also attatching a picture of some protesters we met in Bahnhof. There was a big group of them in masks, making a statement against Scientology.

Love you all,
Sister Jensen
