It Was A Good Week

We find out transfer news tonight so I am a little stressed but also so excited for whatever happens these last 6 weeks.


Highs/Lows from the week:
☆I went to go brush my teeth and there was a gross little bug on it. I think it was a maggot but I'm just going to pretend it wasn't
☆I got a toothbrush for Christmas
☆Sister Drury and I have become chefs, I also have found a new love for fried eggs
☆I hit 16 months
☆ by the end of this transfer(Thursday), I will have gone on 68 exchanges in thr past 6 weeks! I absolutely love love love VC exchanges
☆I met a lady at the Visitors Center and we figured out we are 5th cousins. Wild!
☆All the Christmas decorations at the VC are gone. So sad. Oh a happy note though I got to go into the attic at the Visitors Center for the first time. It was so exciting
☆This won't make sense to most of the people reading this, but last Christmas(like in 2022) a sister in the mission gave out stickers that had the temple on it and it said "Hawaii Laie Mission 2022". I for some reason did not see them when they were passing them out and I missed getting one. I have been so sad about it ever since. I was on exchanges the other day and I was telling a sister about it and she said she had an extra one then she pulled it out and gave it to me! Such a tender mercy!
☆We talked to soo many people that are so prepared at the VC this week!
☆played pickleball with the lead STL'S today
☆We were walking around campus sharing uplifting messages and EVERY SINGLE PERSON we talked to brought the conversation back to tithing. It was really cool but also I think God is trying to tell me something lol.


Honestly nothing too big happened but regardless it was a really good week. I am loving being a missionary right now. I have been thinking alot lately about Obedience. During my Come Follow Me reading I read 1 Nephi 2:3 and it said "And it came to pass that he was obedient unto the word of the Lord, wherefore he did as the Lord commanded him." First of all, I love that he(this verse is talking about Lehi and his family leaving Jerusalem) just did it because the Lord asked him too. But I also love that in the footnotes the word "obedient" is connected to the word "commitment". I had never really thought about the fact that when we are obedient to God's commandments, we are showing our commitment to Him and His gospel. I would encourage you all to think of a way that you can be more obedient to the commandments. 


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...
