Dear
Family,
So much has happened and I can't remember any of it. When you
shotgun, you learn so much in one day and all the days seem to blur together
with the people. But I am loving it here in McCall! It is the most perfect
little Christmas town. People are saying that they haven't even gotten real
snow yet, so we are holding out for the feet to come. The homes that we have
eaten dinner at here are these spacious cabins that are beautifully decorated
for Christmas and usually have a warm fire going, it is so great. Most of the
members that we have had dinner with have also given us lots of potential
investigators to work with, so that is a huge blessing as well.
On Tuesday we had dinner with one of the counselors in the bishopric
and they told us about their friends who may be interested in learning more
about the church. These friends have been coming to church and
mutual for the past year. We went by and
met them that night. They are such a great family, the older boys were offering
us food right away and treating us like friends. The mother is the nicest
person, really put together and friendly. We set up an appointment on
Friday but it fell through because they had something going on. They are
very involved and super busy. But I am super excited to work with them and
teach them!
We have also been trying to visit people that the missionaries
have worked with in the past. It is kind of a challenge to have an area so
spread out and to have limited miles. On Saturday day we went to
Cascade, which is a ward of its own and is about 45 minutes south. We also
cover the Riggins branch, which is about an hour north, we are hoping to make
it up there this week. We have zone conference this week so we are most likely
driving to Middleton, which also takes a lot of the miles we are allotted. I
was so used to knowing where everyone was in Middleton, so I could be pretty
scarce with our miles. Not here, especially when I don't understand the layout
of the town yet. So I am struggling with that and just the other general things
of being in a new area of not knowing anybody and missing all those people I
was close to in my last area. But I am super blessed to be here and cannot
think of a better place to be at Christmas time :)
Love,
Sister Jensen
