So this week has been a lot of the same. Elder Nielsen's ankle is doing much better, he is starting to walk on it and the bruising has gone down a lot. The doctor still wants him to stay off the foot. We are going for a check up appointment tomorrow so we will see what the next week has in store for us. 

Although we haven't been able to go out proselytizing very much we have still seen some amazing miracles. We went to go help a family weed their garden so we were in service clothes and a lady pulled over and stopped my companion as he was backing me out of our parking spot. She asked if we were the Mormon Missionaries. He said yes and she told him that she was a less active member of the church and asked where the building was at and wanted us to come by and visit her sometime. She said "but if my husband answers the door say that you're suppose to be there, he doesn't like you very much." We have knocked a couple of times but we have not caught them at home yet.

We had a good lesson with Peter again this week. He is having a lot of health issues and is going through a lot so he has been struggling. But he has been reading the Book of Mormon, which is amazing!

I went on exchanges with two Elders this week who are both going home next week. It was an awesome opportunity to see the growth in people and hear the advice from a "seasoned" missionary.

This week has kinda been a weird week and we haven't been able to get out as much because of Elder Nielsen's ankle, but it's alright. We have talked a lot, watched probably every video/movie the church has made, and studied the gospel.

Thank you for the love and support!

Elder Jensen
