Dear
Family,
It has been a rather slow week, so I probably won't have much to
report. We did have some really good days however, and I just love being a
missionary during Christmas time. Getting to testify of Christ every day during
this beautiful season is such a privilege. I just have to keep on reminding
myself every time I think of missing Christmas with the family.
We got to teach a new investigator this week. He has a good
Christian background, so teaching him wasn't too difficult. We took a member
with us and she was able to tell him about her conversion story, which was a
pleasant surprise because we had no idea. I love it when things like that work
out. It was funny because his biggest problem with the church is that the
worship services aren't as "charismatic" as he wished they were. It
was a concern we had never heard before, so we weren't really sure how to
address it. After the lesson was done, he kept on asking us how many lessons
there are before he can be baptized, saying he was just curious. We have the
next lesson set up for next week, we are excited!
We had another snow day on Friday. This time they sent out a
mission wide text telling us we weren't allowed to drive. It was a long day,
there is not much to do inside when you are a missionary. But we got some rest
and were able to go out around 7 and see our recent convert, J. Then Saturday
was a pretty perfect missionary day. We had our district meeting, and it is
always fun to be with the other missionaries. Then we visited with Brother W.
for a little bit, helping him around the house and teaching him more about the
temple. After that we tracted for an hour or so and then had an awesome dinner
with a family in one of the wards. We also had our Christmas party in the other
ward. We left the party a little early
because we went caroling with the district! It was so fun, I am definitely
going to make my district do it next year. I loved it because people don't
close their door on you right away if you are singing in a big group. It is fun
to see people's faces, whether they are surprised, happy, or even
uncomfortable. After caroling for about an hour we went to a member's house and
had hot chocolate and soup, which was much needed as it was freezing. We are
doing it again on Christmas Eve, I am so looking forward to it!
Well, I think that is all for now. I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas,
remembering the glorious reason that we celebrate. I am so grateful that we
have a Savior, Jesus Christ, and that through His atonement, we can return and
live again with our Heavenly Father.
I love and miss you all so much!
Love,
Sister Jensen
