Aloha

Highlights from the week:

•my family sent me postcards, I absolutely love getting letters from them:)

•I went on my first exchanges as a District Leader and it was so fun!

•We went to Costco on P day

•We saw the BIGGEST COCKROACH in our house this week! I truly believe that this thing was big enough to eat me! It's still in our house somewhere so if I don't send an email next week you will know why

•had a member meal for the first time in forever! Definitely the highlight of my week!

•Our friend Paris is LOVING the Book of Mormon. She sent us this text this week, "Hi Emma and Ellie! I thought I'd let you both know that I just met with my local missionaries over zoom. We prayed together and they taught me how to pray. We read a passage from 1 Nephi 7:17 and they also told me about the beginnings of the Book of Mormon from 2Nephi 3. After the meeting they asked me to pray to God asking him to show me that what they say is true and I got this overwhelming feeling that this is exactly where God wants me to be. I will be meeting with them again this week as well." People like Paris are the reason why I serve a mission.

My mission President invited me to read The Infinite Atonement by Tad R. Callister and it has been the most amazing experience EVER! My testimony of the Atonement has grown so much! In the book it talks about how in the Bible Dictionary "the gospel" is defined as "good news". the good news is that Jesus Christ has made a perfect atonement. isn't that amazing! It really is the most amazing thing ever that Christ came to earth to suffer for every sin and hard thing any of us will ever feel because he wants each of us to return and live with him again. And the best way I can think of thanking him is by using the gift he has given me, repentance and doing my best everyday.

Find someone to share the good news with this week. I promise you it is worth sharing:)

Love you all,

Sister Jensen
