Transfers

My P day changed to Tuesday so that is why I didn't send an email last week.


We had transfers last week and A LOT has changed! My new companion is Sister Drury. I was in the MTC with her and we have been waiting our whole missions to be companions. We are so excited to be together. We keep thinking it's not real and someone is going to call us and tell us there was a mistake. We are no longer over 2 wards anymore, we kept one ward and lost the other. Sister Drury and I are the new Visitor Center Trainers, so instead of dividing up our day at the Visitors Center, Teaching Center, and Polynesian Culture Center, we spend all of our day at the Visitors Center going on exchanges with all the sisters in the mission. We have been crazy busy since the transfer started but it is so fun!


Highs/Lows from the past 2 weeks
+we had Sister Morse's Aloha Oe and it was so sad
+soo many lessons with members!
+had to say goodbye to my favorite members from YSA 13th:(
+went on a million exchanges!
+witnessed the most UNREAL sunset
+found breadfruit on BYU-H campus and made Ulu chips
+I met Iam Tongi and he sang "Love One Another"


Sister Drury and I are having a blast! We hit 15 months today and are just shocked at how old we are in the mission.


With finals going on right now we have been focusing the messages we share with our members on finding peace. What better place can we go to find peace than in the House of the Lord. President Monson said in his April 2011 talk "As you and I go to the holy houses of God, as we remember the covenants we make within, we will be more able to bear every trial and to overcome each temptation. In this sacred sanctuary we will find peace; we will be renewed and fortified." If you haven't been to the temple recently, let this be your sign to go. If you can't go inside, go sit on the grounds.  I promise you can find peace at the temple.


Love you all!
xoxo,
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...
