I finished my scripture version of Apples to Apples! I've got two separate sets of cards: Bible cards and Book of Mormon cards. It’s been fun to play with members and less active members. I'm trying to think of a name now and a member last night suggested that I call it "Abraham to Isaac" or "Jacob to Israel." I was thinking of the name "Prophets to Prophets" or something like that. This member said that I should save it and market it when I get home. I guess I shouldn't put the idea up on a blog then... oh well. Anyone else is free to take the idea, as long as I get several free copies :) I think a homemade version of Apples to Apples could also be a great teaching tool to help children use new vocabulary words they are learning and review ones they have already passed off.
I am ready for it to be fall. I can't believe it's almost already September. September 1 was the day I met my first companion and started being a real missionary. It also is the day that marks 6 months left. I have always been a person to procrastinate, and I'm hoping that starts to help me about now. I have worked hard on a mission, but now it's time to "kick it up a notch" as Emeril says.
We taught an amazing person who has now returned to El Paso. We tracted into him one of the first days he was in Lawton while he was house sitting for his sister and brother-in-law. We only knew him for about a week and a half but he is very humble and before he returned he was committed to baptism and living the Word of Wisdom and studying The Book of Mormon. We passed the referral on to the church and we will be calling to make sure the missionaries find him. He promised that if the missionaries didn't find him he would find them. It is a real privilege to teach humble people. I know that we were put in his life at this time when he wanted to change and we were able to be there at the right time and the right place to teach him. It is sad to see people go and not know the end of the story, but I know that there are going to be a lot of people I'm going to want to talk to in the Spirit World and find out what happened to them.
There are many miracles going on here in Lawton and I know the Lord is preparing people to receive the gospel!
Love,
Sister Lila Jenson
