Hello all!
To start, I want to thank those who have wished me a happy birthday, I love you!!!
ALSO, I want to say a Happy Belated Mother's Day to all mothers on this list, I love you all and have learned from your examples.
My week-
Last Monday was fun, we played ultimate Frisbee and then afterwards Sister Ziegler and I passed a soccer ball around with the AP's. I was sore the next few days, goes to show how out of shape I am, but it was fun(: That night we were knocking some doors at an apartment building and ran into a girl named Shellee. While she is out of YSA and in the family ward, we talked with her for a good 30 minutes and we could tell she needed it that day. She said she'd love to come out with us sometime and that she's been needing to get back into missionary work. After that we rushed to FHE where we played psychiatrist, which was HILARIOUS. I'm not going to try and explain the game, but it made for a ton of laughs. There was a non member visiting, and we were told later that he was quite impressed with how friendly everyone was, and the beauty of the paintings in the institute building.
On Wednesday we went on exchanges, Sister Hedman came and joined me here in Pocatello! Sister Hedman is originally out in Soda Springs serving with MY MTC COMP- Sister Freeman! Sister Ziegler went to join Sister Freeman though and Sister Hedman and I had a blast here in Pocatello. Well, and then actually out in Marsh Valley as well. We were pretty all over the place hahahax) We started out with some contacting in Pocatello and then headed out to Marsh Valley which means Inkom, Lava Hot Springs, McCammon, and Arimo. We got tot talk to a ton of people and get to know each other better too so I'd say it was a success. I'm grateful I'm an STL now, because it means we get to exchange with the other sisters and get to know them better, which I appreciate.
On Friday we had district meeting, which was very uplifting. Sister Ziegler and I lead a discussion on trusting God and I think we all walked away learning something. I walked away being reminded that 1. Miracles do happen. 2. Our job as missionaries is to invite, their repentance is Christ's burden, not ours. And 3. God's plan is always better than ours and will bring us Happiness...so why not follow it and trust it? Some things to ponder on this week. After district meeting we had German Pancakes, of which I included pictures in my Drive Folder. They turned out pretty big and different looking because of the pans and adjusting the batter to fill the pans and etc. They were still good though hahahx)
Lastly, on Sunday, Sister Ziegler and I got to speak in both our Pocatello wards. I basically cried about my mom twice, but it was beneficial. In preparing for my talk I thought a lot about what my parents have done for me, and how they stressed the importance of the Gospel. To be short, The Gospel is incredibly important for a child to be learning. A child NEEDS to know who God is, and they NEED to know who Jesus Christ is and what he's done for them. It's heart breaking to meet children who don't know who God is, nor who Christ is. I can really only say I am incredibly grateful my parents taught us these simple truths.
I hope you all had a wonderful week and can see the ways God is manifesting his love for you.
Love,
Sister Jensen
