Dear
Family,
It is hard to believe that another week has flown by. It is also
hard to believe that after months and months of hearing about it, it is finally
the day of the eclipse. People talked about it all the time in Baker City
because they are right in the path. Here in Middleton, we will get about 99.5%
coverage, so it will still be pretty good. I am not sure how much everyone is
hearing on the news, but it is kind of crazy the effect that it has had on the
people here. Hotel prices are ridiculously high, and people are renting out
their homes for thousands of dollars. I hear the main concern in Weiser, Idaho
(where they will get the total eclipse) is that there are not enough toilets
for all the people they will be expecting. There is a nice foothill in
Middleton, so we will just be going to a member's house on the foothill to
watch it with our glasses that are for sure certified. Luckily, all the members have extra pairs so
we got some from them. So that has been the big excitement around here.
But nothing can be more exciting than missionary work, right?!
This week we continued to teach a mother and son. We have the most wonderful,
Spirit-filled lessons with them, mostly thanks to the wonderful young men in
this ward who have really risen to the challenge of teaching their friend the
gospel. I feel really thankful that Heavenly Father has allowed me to be a
small part of this journey for them, just like He has for people throughout my
mission.
This has been kind of a short update, but I don't believe I have
anything else to report! Thank you to everyone who has reached out to me in
whatever way, whether it be emails, letters, packages, or simply prayers. It
all means so much, so thank you.
Love,
Sister Jensen
