Jensen, Emma

I hope everyone had an amazing Christmas! Here is a quick run down of my week for you all: -we had "a night in Bethlehem" dinner with a family and they set the area up so cute -last week one of the sisters I live with told us she isn't getting any gifts from her family for Christmas so me and Sister Alapa went shopping for her and did a secret Santa. It was probably my favorite part of this week -at our missionary training meeting they invited us to be more bold in our interaction with people in our area, Sister Alapa and I took this to heart and were able to find 5 new friends last week. God loves effort!! -christmas eve we had breakfast as a district  -ate acai -called my family on Christmas and got to open gifts with them, Tori gave me the cutest keychain with a nutcracker on it♡ -my goal is to be able to do 1000 jump on my jump rope for my work out, yesterday I did 555. I will let you know next week how I'm doing -I'm speaking in church this sunday, everyone p...

Aloha Everyone! My parents just yelled at me for not sending an email last week, didn't realize people actually read my emails so sorry about that everyone We had transfer news! Last transfer was only 4 weeks because they wanted to get the sisters going home before Christmas. That means this next transfer is going to be 8 weeks! That is a really long time but me and Sister Alapa are staying together so we are really happy about that. We also didn't move houses or wards. We got a new fancy car though, I feel like a rich mom driving around in my fancy car with my big sunglasses on. There isn't much I can do with my hair here in Hawaii with all the humidity, it's either natural (big, frizzy, and curly), or I have it slicked back into a ponytail or braid. Twice this week I had people come up to us thinking Sister Alapa had a new companion because they couldn't recognize me with my hair pulled back. We got a call super late one night from a couple in our ward because one...

This week went by so slow haha. It started out with one of the sisters I live with testing positive for covid. Me and sister Alapa didn't need to quarantine thankfully but we did get to wear cute masks on our faces for the whole week yayayay We finally got out into our area this week! Because we share a car it has been so hard to get into our area but because the sisters we share a car with were quarantined we got to go out almost everyday. We didn't have much success while we were out there but we did get to help an Auntie get dinner ready for her family so that was fun. She let us be her taste testers haha One of our member meals this week the mom talked to her kids about the 3 wise men then proceeded to have all 3 of her kids give us gifts like they were the wise men. I think I would have been laughing if I wasn't so confused what was going on. The lady then started going around the house and throw a bunch of extra stuff she had into boxes for us to take. She is a bit of...
