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

Hello everyone!! Yesterday morning Sister Cockrell (one of my best friends) crawled next to me in bed at 5:30 and said "sister, tomorrow morning I won't be here!" And we both balled. Wah!!! Well, its a weird feeling. She is on a plane and NOT here! BUT I am SOOO excited because I get to train 2 GREENIES this transfer! That’s right! Straight from the MTC! Sister Clevenger is AMAZING and we have so many similarities. Sister Walker comes next Monday. The last week with Sister Cockrell was amazing! Our lessons rocked! And now for this transfer we have so many visits to make and TONS to do. THE WORK HERE IS ON FIRE! HORRRAYY!!! I can't help myself from randomly doing "I’m on a mission!!!!" dance moves throughout the day! I’m on a mission for our Creator and there’s nothing else I'd rather be doing, or do for the rest of my life!!! Bringing souls to Christ is amazing! muah! I am learning so much and experiencing so much. We were in a crazy lesson last week. We where with a part member family...the children where wining....dog being annoying...kind of hectic, but we pushed through the lesson.... the kids got quiet and the dog ran away, the spirit was felt. We taught the wife (non member) about Baptism. A few minutes before challenging her to be baptized, her son came to her and started crying (he’s only 1), and it got hectic again!! and really loud! and the dog came back. we where worried. However, with a crying and tired 1 year old on her shoulder, the wife was challenged to be baptized by sister cockrell. Most of us didn’t even hear her talking, so she said it again, and the wife responded with a loud laughing voice above the babies cries, "YES!" Another lesson we had was with a 69 year old black man. He is so wonderful and the missionaries have been visiting him for years. FINALLY this past week the spirit was SOO strong and the member we had with us (supporting him along his journey) totally had the right things to say to him and he accepted to start saying personal prayer! BREAKTHROUGH of a might big wall! Miracles baby, they are happening and ALL AROUND us. BE GOOD! I have so much to say but time is up! Sister Clevenger and I have LOTS to do! Follow the spirit and TRUST GOD. YOU HAVE TO! He knows what we need. The miracle CANT happen until you trust him. The FRIENDSHIP can't be made until you trust him. I am witnessing this for my own life. I NEED HIM EVERY HOUR. I love My savior and God SO much. Be good, be strong, and endure to the end. Life is amazing. and YOU ROCK! p.s. if you seek the best adventure and the most real life experiences in 2 years of your life...then SERVE A MISSION
