Elder Brian Jensen had an awesome experience while working in the RC taking calls.
He got a call from a Pentecostal minister who was calling to request the “Finding Faith in Christ” video. Brian said that they talked for a half hour and found that they had many similar beliefs but the minister just can’t accept that Joseph Smith was a prophet of God. Brian wrote, ” It’s amazing when the spirit works through you to talk to people. It’s kinda sad that people aren’t willing to pray to know that Joseph Smith was a prophet. We talked for half an hour and I asked if I could send missionaries to his house but he said that there was something wrong with his wife and they would be out of town for awhile. But you know me, I tried to talk him into it and I almost convince him but I ended up getting him to allow us to call back later when his wife was better. So we ended there and I said that I would pray for his wife. If nothing else, I hope
I planted a seed.”
He says that next week they would be calling people in Spanish so that would be interesting!

Elder Jensen leaves the MTC for El Salvador on Monday the 24th of November and his family is looking forward to talking to him for a few minutes during his layover in LA.

We hung around all day and then he didn't call until 10:30 and we only got to talk for about 20 minutes but he sounded really happy and just good! He was excited to get there!
