I'm not looking at you because I think you're cute I am looking at you because you need Jesus

My week was so SO good (except that I was sick but I just had to down some DayQuill and get back to work! It was tough but it felt really good to do)! 

I was able to go on splits with Sister Innes (the mission presidents wife) which was, I’m not gonna lie, a little scary at first but then it was really good. We went and visited ward members and then we talked. She even talked about when my transfer to go home may be and she was saying that it will probably be next January, so that is something new. 

All the members here in Congaree are really amazing and they love us and feed us! We were able to clean the church as part of service day and we also got to help people set up for Christmas. We were going to help someone with yard work but it was raining here so we couldn't but we were able to still go over to their house and they had their grandkids over. We taught them and they were crawling all over us and begging us not to leave. It was really sweet we are going to go back and hopefully get the parents involved and want us back as much as the kids. 

We got to teach the McNeil family again and they are so SO sweet. The oldest kids had read what we had asked them to and had so many questions. We are going to go back on Tuesday and teach them about the restoration. We gave them a Book of Mormon and the 2nd oldest kissed it and she just said she was so happy to get the book. She prayed at the end of the lesson and I almost started to cry! We had just taught them about The Plan of Salvation and in her prayer she prayed about one day being with God and Jesus. I was so happy. Y'all she is 10 and has never been taught this and just loved this and knew it to be true!

Miracle of the week is meeting Hunter. We were supposed to be going to a missionary referral and but no one lived there. Hunter was around there and he talked to us and wanted to learn more. We offered to come clean trailers and he said he would like that and that he would be expecting to hear a lesson as well. This kid is 19 and knows our purpose better than some adults do :) 

This week was overall really good and I am really happy to be here! I LOVE Sister Beckstrom and Sister Crave and we are doing a lot of good and we are working really hard. 

I guess I would ask y'all to read "What Lack I yet" and just do what it says. That has really changed my outlook on my mission and I know it will bless your lives as well. 

Well I love y 'all and hope y'all have a blessed week! 

Love, 

Sister Jensen
