Dear Family,
It is snowing like crazy here! I think the past couple of days we have gotten the winter that McCall is used to and hasn't gotten this year. I really do love it when the snow is falling, I get kind of sad when it stops snowing.
This week I got to go back to my old area in Meridian! I went on exchanges with one of my old companions, Sister Moa-Sam Fong, who is now my STL :) She is in a different area in Meridian, but President said that I could go visit a few people while on exchanges. I only caught one family we visited and the family I lived with, but it was still fun and really took me back to being in Meridian. I've been so blessed with all the areas that I have served in, its hard to believe how much Heavenly Father has blessed me. Also, the morning before we exchanged back, Sister Moa-Sam Fong and I taught seminary in Eagle! It was really fun, the youth really are so amazing here. We had the whole class time, but the time actually went by really fast. We had them come up with an investigator for us then Sister Moa-Sam Fong and I role played planning a lesson for this investigator. Then, we gave them an investigator which they planned for then taught. Then we opened it up for questions. It was cool though because the teacher of the class is the Elder's Quorum President in one of the wards in Middleton that I served in. It was such a fun little exchange :)
On Saturday one of the ward members called us and invited us to a funeral for a less-active member in one of our wards. This man that passed away was only 34, he passed away due to some injuries that he received in a tree trimming accident. It was sad, but it made me so grateful for the gospel and the reality of forever families. Then we went to the Pancake House and had lunch with a nonmember who just really loves the missionaries. Then that night we enjoyed attending the adult session of stake conference.
The session of stake conference today was really awesome. The temple president and his wife spoke, it made me really excited to regularly attend the temple again. We had a Seventy come, his name is Elder Bowen. He spoke on my favorite topic: MISSIONARY WORK!!!! He said that Elder Ballard made a promise in conference once that if we pray to share the gospel with someone, Heavenly Father will send someone to us. But we are usually to afraid to pray for that opportunity in the first place because we are too afraid to open our mouths. So when we pray for those opportunities we need to do so sincerely, determined to open our mouths.
Honestly, it has been hard these past couple of weeks because all the people we were working with are sick with the flu. Every other house that we go to seems to have caught it. I am trying to do my best to continue pressing forward and work as hard as ever. I am praying to see some more miracles and find more people to teach here in our wonderful little area. I know that Heavenly Father loves His children here so much, and I am so grateful to serve them.
Love,
Sister Jensen
