This week was pretty uneventful, but I realized one of the best feelings of the mission is watching people progress. E's grandma told us that since his baptism, he's been getting up in the night to get water really late at night, and she wakes up and asks him why he's still awake, and he responds that he's reading the Book of Mormon. So so awesome.
Also, we visited a family this week, who when I came here was kinda stuck when it comes to the Gospel. They weren't concerned about getting sealed or going to the temple, or the priesthood, and they went to church every once in a while. Now, they've progressed so much that the dad is working so hard and studying to get the priesthood, with the temple as the goal, and the mom shared her testimony about how she knows this is the true church, and one of the daughters always says she wants to serve a mission.
Watching that sort of progress gives me the best feeling as a missionary, and I think that's how our Heavenly Father feels also. When He watches us progress and make the necessary changes in our lives to follow His commandments and improve, He feels like a proud father.
Hope you have a good week
Elder Jenkins
