Week 1 And 2 Of MTC

Hey Everyone!



  I have been counting down the hours to my P day so I can talk to everyone and let everyone know how the MTC is going.



  My district is so amazing. We were all already so close when we got here on Wednesday and we have only gotten closer since. I am rooming with 3 other girls Sister Sorenson, Sister Montague, and my companion Sister Mckenzie. Between the 4 of us we have already eaten all the chocolate I brought and it's only been 6 days. Also for my dad's information, between me and the rest of the girls in my district we have used my steamer several times already.



  Waking up at 6:30 has been so hard for me. I am getting 8.5 hours of sleep every night and I still have to pry myself out of bed every morning. I don't think I could get enough sleep so that waking up at 6:30 would not be painful.



  On Saturday I was really wanting to eat an ice cream sandwich but they hadn't ever had them the whole time I was there. When I went to see if they had anything I wanted for a treat I was so excited to see that they finally had ice cream sandwiches. It sounds dumb but being able to eat an ice cream sandwich really made my whole day.



  I don't want to make this email super long but just a couple other things I have noticed is the Food really isn't that bad, half the shower's don't have warm water, I freeze every night when I go to bed, and it is really hard to pay attention in 3 hour long classes. I am very emotionally drained.



  I just want to close my email with a scripture that has been helping me a lot these past 2 weeks. A little bit of context for you, the past 2 weeks have been super hard for me. A mission isn't necessarily the first thing I want to be doing right now and I am incredibly homesick, but I know that God wants me here. I just don't know why, and not knowing why I am doing something that I don't want to be doing has been incredibly hard for me. I came across the scripture Mosiah 4:9 last week and it has been super helpful for me. The scripture says, "Believe in God; believe that he is, and that he created all things, both in heaven and in earth; believe that he has all wisdom, and all power, both in heaven and in earth; believe that man doth not comprehend all the things which the Lord can comprehend." I like to think that I am looking through the peephole of a door, I can only see so much through that little hole, but God has the door all the way open. He can see everything that I can see and so much more. Even though I have no idea why God wants me to be on a mission, I know that he has a plan for me and that if I am patient and put all my trust in him, he will put me in a place where I can really help people. 



  I miss all of you so much! but I am putting my Trust in the Lord and I know he has a plan for me.



So much Love,

Sister Jensen:)

First Week Of The Last Transfer

Image
This is the first week of my last transfer. I can't believe it! Where did the time go? Sister Drury and I are staying together as Visitors Center Trainers and I could not be more excited. It's going to be a great last 6 weeks. Highs/Lows of the week: ☆We had our first lesson with Kennedy this week and it went so so well. She is such a faithful person. Her boyfriend, who is a member, was telling us that she is always encouraging him to go to church. Kennedy was so cute and took notes throughout the whole lesson so she wouldn't forget anything ☆There was THE BIGGEST SPIDER I have ever seen at the Visitors Center. I am sure it could have eaten me if it was hungry enough. One of the senior Elders was so brave and killed it for us. He is a true life saver ☆We got a shipment in of the Book of Mormon in Navajo. 1st edition! I remember when I was about 9 months into my mission talking to a man who was helping them translate it while he was serving his mission. At that point they we...

Yummiest Taco Soup Ever!

Image
Highs/Lows from the week: ☆I had interviews with President Bassett yesterday and it was great ☆we saw a spider tie up a fly then kill it. Kinda cool but it was inside our house so then we vacuumed them both up. RIP the fly ☆lots of exchanges ☆One of our members girlfriend wants to take the lessons so we are excited to start teaching her ☆everytime we cook we get a million flies in our house. I think there might be a hole in the window screen. ☆we gave a tour to a lady named Elizabeth at the visitors center and at the end of the tour she says "so is there a place I can go to learn more?" Why yes Elizabeth, there is a place you can go to learn more.:) She wasn't interested in staying in contact with us but we gave her a copy of the Book of Mormon and showed her the church's website. She was so interested in learning more! ☆my cousins had me and my companion over for dinner and they made the YUMMIEST taco soup. On Facebook I have been posting a series about different Chr...
