Dear
Family,
I am currently in
Nampa! We are emailing at the family history center, just like the greenie
days. And why am I in Nampa? I'm training! Both Sister Soelberg and I were
taken out of Baker so that we can train. I am going to train in Middleton. Sister Soelberg is going to Meridian to
train. So we are here in Nampa for tonight and we will be here tomorrow for the
new missionaries coming in and all that implies. It has been a crazy day, we
have been riding the transfer van for the majority of it, then figuring
logistics is always a headache. We have a trainer's meeting tonight at 6. I am
super excited!
But, really, I am
heartbroken to leave Baker City. I was in Nampa on Tuesday because I was on
exchanges with a sister going home tomorrow and she had her departing interview
at the mission office. The assistants came in and one of them told me that we
were both being taken out. So we had more time than usual to get ready, which
was nice. I thought I would be able to stay in Baker until at least August, but
I am sure the Lord has all sorts of things that He wants me to learn.
Our last week was
busy! We got to teach many of our
investigators, which was a blessing. One
of them is still on to be baptized on Friday. I am not sure if I will make
it, we have to get a ride from a member to go. I am just praying that it will
all work out, I would just really like to be there. We went to Halfway for the
last time on Saturday and taught our investigator there. Sunday was
hard because that is literally when you say goodbye to everyone. But we got
around to everyone and I didn't have to stay up too late to pack, another big
blessing.
On Thursday, we
were leaving our house for an appointment and we locked our car keys in the
house. Usually, we just walk down to the landlady's house and get a key. But
she wasn't home and didn't answer her phone. We got a ride to our appointment
and had transportation after that until about 3ish. We were dropped off at home
and just started updating records in our car (we had left it unlocked, just
didn't have the keys to start it). We texted T., our recent convert, asking her
to give us ride to our appointment at 4. She came right away and was like,
"We are going to break into your house!" T. is a former police
officer. We had one small window
unlocked, so she showed us how to pop off the screen then she boosted Sister
Soelberg through. It was really funny.

We are limited on
time so I am just going to wrap up and respond to as many people as I can. But
just know that even though I am really sad to leave Baker, I am so excited for
these next couple of months in Middleton!
Love,
Sister Jensen
