Dear Family,
Today will be a quicker update
because this P-day has been CRAZY. But life is still amazing here in the Nampa!
We are still working with some wonderful people that I love so, so much, and
they make all of the hard times worth it.
J. continues to be a big part of the
work we are doing here. She is such a huge blessing to me, and the challenge of
teaching her helps keep me motivated and excited about missionary work.
Sometimes it is easy to get discouraged when literally no one wants to talk
about you. But then we have a lesson with J. and I am reminded that the Lord is
preparing people all of the time. And, like with J., the gospel will change
their lives so dramatically, in the best way possible. We are continually
working with her to prepare her for baptism in the coming weeks, and my love
for her just continues to grow. I am so glad that I will be in Utah after the
mission because I will be blessed to see these dear friends often.
A. and her husband, J., are also
doing well. It has been really cool to see A. discover the gospel again. We
have been bringing sisters from the ward to our lessons and A. is always so
excited to meet them and learn that they live so close to her. I think that
this ward family will be so good for her. We taught her husband the first lesson on
Saturday and it went really well. They are such nice people and it is fun
to learn more about their culture.
One highlight of this week was our
zone conference, where we learned about the Christmas initiative for this year.
I am so excited!!! We got to see the video, which doesn't come out until Friday,
and it was seriously stellar! The theme is "Light up the World" and
is focused on the service we can do that the Savior did. It is like an advent
calendar, with new ways and ideas to serve each day leading up to Christmas. I
am so excited to share this message of service and love with all those we talk
with this Christmas season.
Sorry this week's letter was so
short, we seem to always be running all over the place on P-day, but next week
should be better. Just know that I am loving these people more and more every
day, and am trying my best to be the missionary that they need me to be. I love
this gospel, so much. I know that Christ is our Savior and that He lives.
Love,
Sister Jensen
