Jenna Julianne Sprouse is serving a mission in Las Vegas Nevada from December 2010 until June of 2012. As Jenna cannot post on Blogs or Facebook while serving, this blog will be updated with pictures and letters she writes home. Jenna left us with her favorite scripture passage: "Now have we not reason to rejoice? Yea, I say unto you, there never were men that had so great reason to rejoice as we, since the world began; yea, and my joy is carried away,even unto boasting in my God." Alma 26:35

Heavenly Father is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!! Keep up your hard work everyone!!!!! It is so amazing to see the changes in our investigators!!!!!!! It is so fun to teach, and I am learning so much! I love my Savior! Within our district (comprising of 6 elders and sister Cockrell and I) we have 7 individuals set with a baptismal date, 17 others close to being set, and a whole slew of other investigators! Hooray! The Lord is definitely blessing us to teach!!! Success is a blessing! We work so hard, and we just want to bring people closer to Christ. This is our daily goal. We pray over our investigators, I wake up in the middle of the night thinking about them, we fast over them, and we love them to pieces! Remember that there’s one way to know you are on the road to righteousness; it’s uphill. Keep battling and keep strong! No one is perfect! Through the mercy of God by sending his Son Jesus Christ to us, we can be brought back to live with them forever! Hooray! :) Remember to do the small things in life! They matter! Remember in the bible in Numbers, when the children of Israel where inflicted with a plague and all they had to do was simply look at the staff of Moses and they where healed and saved? Well many did not because it seemed to "simple", and they perished. The ones who obeyed the commandment and looked upon the staff where saved. Hum..... Read your scriptures, Go to Church, have family prayer, have personal daily prayer(s), take your neighbors trash cans from the road to their house, visit the elderly, tell your kids a quick I love you..... These may all seem like simple things, but they are not. They are building the Kingdom of God, and you! Remember Nephi Says in the Book of Mormon, "By small and simple things are great things brought to pass..." This is how eternal life is gained. By doing the small and great things the Lord commands us. Yoke your burdens with Christ, He saves you from not only your sins, but of your pain and sorrows. Jesus literally saves us from everything. Remember that "Ye are the light of the world, a city that is set on a hill cannot be hid." Matthew 5:14. Heavenly Father has put you where you are for a reason, "Let your light so shine before men," Share your testimony often and sing praises onto God forever! :) Share of your talents, time, energy and heart and soul. These are the things the Lord Requires of us. These must be our personal sacrifices for being true believers of Christ. Isn't it wonderful that the Lord says if we loose our life for His sake, we shall find it?? Hum! Ah ha! Terrrrific! Great news DO WHAT YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO! SO this morning I made Strawberry Banana Cinnamon Cacao PANCAKES! YUM YUM YUM I thought the day couldn't get any better. Then I realized I was on a MISSION and it did! I also made a Goji Berry Pancake, and a Cayenne pancake!!!! haha So good! and funny! My companion thinks im nuts, but hey, she puts avocado in her hair to make it silky! haha! we both love each other! She leaves and ends her mission in 4 weeks! Well go to go! Love you! BYE!!!! :)
