He is risen!

Easter was so good! It was so cool going through the Come, Follow Me lessons and seeing what He was going through on a day to day basis. It made Easter morning a lot more happy. I would highly recommend the talk “Behold, the Man”, by Elder Uchtdorf I believe.. 

Thank you for the birthday wishes and gifts. It was a very good birthday. Sister Treadaway spoiled me. She is like my mission grandma. She decorated her house and made us cheesecake. It was just so sweet and it meant a LOT.  

We also got to go to the temple today and HOLY HANNAH!! The changes are so cool and if you haven't been since the change, GO it will bless your life! 

Sorry its short but we are short on time this week! 

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

Whoomp. There it is.

This week we had one of those office moments and it was something special... We knocked on this guys door and he answered. Shirtless. He grunted at us then shut the door promptly. We stayed there for a second confused and then we walked away, laughing. 

This week was really good! We are trying to do creative finding and being out in public places talking with people. Our area happened to have a flower festival and SO MANY PEOPLE were there. We were able to talk with a lot of people. Who knows... maybe from us being there one of those people will find the church.

There was a lot of spiritual things that happened this week and most of the ones I experienced left me in tears. It truly is a blessing to feel the Holy Ghost work through you to touch other people. It is also really cool to be able to feel some of Heavenly Fathers love for other people. 

Next week we get to go to the temple! So we will be having our p-day on Wednesday instead of Monday! A good thing to do this week is to follow along with the "Come, Follow Me" and really be prepared for Easter!

I know that Christ lives and that He is the healer of all sicknesses, hurt, disease, and afflictions. In 3rd Nephi 17:7, Christ comes says "Have ye any that are sick among you? Bring them hither. Have ye any that are lame, or blind, or halt, or maimed, or leprous, or that are withered, or that are deaf, or that are afflicted in any manner? Bring them hither and I will heal them, for I have compassion upon you; my bowels are filled with mercy." We are all afflicted in some manner and Christ is waiting to heal us. We just need to turn it over to him in prayer. I love this gospel so much and that we are so able to receive revelation for our lives! 

Y'all should go to ComeUntoChrist.org and watch the new Easter video.

I love  y'all and stay blessed!

CONFERENCE!!

This week was CRAZY good! We not only had General Conference and got to hear the beloved Prophet speak but we also had Zone conference. 

There are going to be some big changes made to make our mission higher and holier like the rest of the church! I am so excited! 

This week we met some interesting people that have some VERY interesting beliefs... a lot about plasma blasts coming and killing us all and then a lot about flat earth and chem trails. Every time we talk to these people it just helps me to see how true the church is and how amazing it is. 

Another amazing story about God's timing is that we were going to a lesson at a members house and a different lady answered.  She said that the members that we were there to teach had gotten really sick and didn't want us to come in so we talked to her on the porch. We found out that she was a member and she hadn't been to church in like 20 years BUT she wants to come back! It was a cool thing to see how it was all in God's timing! 

I love y'all and it you haven't please watch conference! Stay blessed!

Love,

God's Plan

This week was truly amazing and we did see so many miracles all about God's timing and plan for HIS children! 

We are trying to help a lot of returning members in our ward come back to the path and it is so so good. We are seeing so many amazing miracles and it is just the best! 

The one crazy cool miracle that we saw that just left me in awe this week was when we went to this one sisters house. We asked if they needed us to do anything for them and if we could help them in any way. Her brother told us that  a house in their neighborhood had recently burned down and wanted us to go and give them an envelope full of cash. We did and just to see how the Lord was working with her was AMAZING. She kept telling us that it was because of the Lord that she was able to do all that she did when the fire happened and save her grand kids. She was awesome! We gave her our number and she told us she would call us if she needed any help on the house! 

God's timing is perfect and when we look at it from an eternal perspective our trials and all the hard things in our life can seem to be easier. 

A good scripture this week is Hebrews 7:25! 

Well, I hope y'all are preparing to receive some inspiration from General Conference. I know I am! 

I love y'all and stay blessed!

Do I hear $5?

I am doing really good! I am so excited to be here staying here for another transfer. The first day I was a little confused as to why I am staying but I love that I am. I see how much that the ward trusts me and trust means people will start introducing us to their friends (#score) so I know that I have a reason for being here and I just feel really happy. 

The past 5 days have been really good! We did a lot of work with the youth auction this weekend. It was so cool to see people get together and bid for a good cause. I tried to bid but after $5 I had to stop 😊

We are working really hard to progress the people we are teaching and to get them solid! We are also going and finding more so we can teach more people. It is pretty good! 

Well, a good talk/devotional to read is "Of Starfish and Destinies!".

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

OHHHH I"M HALF WAY THERE... and I am staying in Congaree

This week marked another transfer week and I am staying in the blessed area of Congaree! I love it here and it really has become my home! 

Something amazing happened! We found 2 new people to teach. They are a married couple and one has a brother who is a member and they are curious to see why he is so happy. She called us and we are going over there to show her what it is that helps him be happy. It was really cool! 

Well, here is a story to remind all y'all about how "smart" I can be sometimes lol. We were driving in the car and I called the speedometer a speed thermometer.  I also tried to check the oil in our car and tried to pull the cap to fill it up off. 

We have been doing a lot of service and it is so amazing how helping other people helps you! Also another crazy thing is SISTER SANDERS IS MY STL (Sister Training Leader)!!!!! I am so happy and this transfer is going to be awesome! 

I would invite y'all to share your testimony with someone new this week! I love y'all and I hope you have a blessed week! 

Love,

Otterly Terrifying

This morning we were driving home from the store and I saw a dead otter and I started crying.That was probably the saddest dead thing I have ever seen on the road. 

 

We had interviews with President Innes and it is always so good to speak with him and be able to get advice for our area. We are still finding like crazy and we are having some luck! 

We ran into a former investigator named Dot and she told us how she missed us and wanted us to come back and visit her so hopefully that will be good! It is crazy being in an area for a while; I have started making friends with people in stores and gas stations and a lot of them are asking questions for why we are here! Its amazing to see what the Lord will do when you are on His errand! 

I think for this week I would have y'all read "Try,Try, Try" because that is one of my favorite talks! 

Anyway, gator season is among us! One of our members saw a gator on his land so hopefully I wont have to run in a zig-zag. 

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

Spanish???

So I guess the really great experience I had this week was that I got to go on exchanges with our sister training leaders; well for our case it was the hermana training leaders. So, I was thrown into a day full of speaking Spanish and I didn't have any clue what was going on. The amazing thing that happened was that when I testified of Christ, even though they didn't have any idea what I was saying, the Spirit was able to touch them. It was honestly some of the strongest feelings of the Spirit I have ever felt. 

I know that as we do all we can and that as we testify of the truth everyone will feel the Spirit and know that it is true! 

It is amazing being able to be on a mission!
This week instead of a talk to read, study the Come, Follow Me and say your prayers! 

I love y'all so much and stay blessed!

8 MONTHS

Well, this week was 8 months on the mish, which is a little cray that I have been out for that 

long but it doesn't feel like that long! 

This week was really good! We had Zone Conference and got to learn a lot! I learned a lot 

about how we need to plan better and just step up. It is so great and I love it so much! 

We are in finding mode hard core and we have found some really promising families. I am 

super excited to spread this amazing gospel! 

Funny thing here is when we drive we see a lot of dead opossums. I just want to see one 

alive. I don't know if that is funny to y'all but they are legit all over the road dead. It's quite 

a sight and just a new thing to see everywhere! 

Well, this week y'all should read Michelle Craig's devotional called "This is My day of 

Opportunity". It is so good and I love it! 

I love y'all so much and have a blessed week! Keep spreading the gospel wherever you are! 

Love, 

Sister Jensen 

Revelation is Legit

This week was so awesome! We have been trying to find like crazy! We have found one new person this week. Her name is Marie and she wants us to come and do a bible study with her and her family! I am stinkin' pumped! It has been a while since we have found someone but, we are going hard and giving it our all in this area! 

We are also doing a lot of service and with that simple thing it has really helped to strengthen our testimony. When we focus outward we feel Heavenly Fathers love for us and it is a way to help us while helping others!

Well... in other news we can talk to our fam bams weekly!! It has been a crazy revelation but it will be so good and it will help so much with missionary work!

I love that, not only is there revelation for our church, but for our lives. As we strive to have the Holy Ghost in our life we can be guided by that same power! How awesome is that, Heavenly Father loves us so much and wants us to talk to him

Well, read the talk "That Your Joy May be Perfect"! It is a really good one!

I love y'all and have a blessed week!

Love, 

Sister Jensen 

Congaree round three!

I am still here in Congaree and I love that I am here! 

My new companion is Sister Rencher and she has been out on her mission for 3 months, so I think that is crazy! I am almost at 8 months and that is freaking me out! 

We have been doing a lot with less active members and trying to get them back! We had a game night with a couple of members and my competitive side came out and I think it scared them all a little bit lol! I just really love this ward and how much they treat me like family. I am just continuing to build the relationships and I love it! 

We were able to teach mission prep this week and that was weird! I got to teach future missionaries what it is like to be a missionary and it was awesome! They asked a lot of deep questions and the last one was "what does the Savior mean to you"? 

That is something I would want all y'all to ponder on and really continue to build your relationship with Christ because that is how we will have joy in this life!  

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

Love, 

Sister Jensen
