Gecko Tails Grow Back

So last week I decided I was going to title all my emails with emojis but the lady that is making a book of all my mission emails said I can't.. Does anyone want to volunteer to come up with captions for me? I won't pay you but you will be payed in blessings.


I went on 2 exchanges this week and they were so fun! One was with Sister Kimura, she is from Japan and is the sweetest sister. The other was with my STL Sister Manalo. She is such an amazing missionary and is a great example of exact obedience.


One of our members invited us over to make dumplings with them and their friends. the dumplings were SOO YUMMY!!!


I accidently cut off a gecko's tail this week in the process of me trying to catch it. 


I have been studying the talk by Elder Bednar "Bear up Their Burdens with Ease" and a part of the talk that stood out to me was "the Savior has suffered not just for our sins and iniquities—but also for our physical pains and anguish, our weaknesses and shortcomings, our fears and frustrations, our disappointments and discouragement, our regrets and remorse, our despair and desperation, the injustices and inequities we experience, and the emotional distresses that beset us. There is no physical pain, no spiritual wound, no anguish of soul or heartache, no infirmity or weakness you or I ever confront in mortality that the Savior did not experience first." It's pretty amazing that the Savior loves each of us so much that he suffered for even our disappointments. I get disappointed over pretty weird stuff and yet the Savior still experienced those feelings. Why? Because he loves me more then I will ever know! And he loves you more then you will ever know.


You are not alone in ANYTHING you go through.


Love you all,
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...
