Patience in God's Timing

This was a week! Many ups and downs for sure. I am feeling much better physically, no longer a flu infested little sister missionary. I dropped back down to the weight I was before I left! So much for 6 months to sexy, try 2 weeks lol. I'll probably gain some of it back quick haha, but oh well, it feels good to say I dropped weight, no matter how unhealthy it was!

Sorry, this one will be short, I have a highlight I want to mention, other than that, I have honestly no time today. Drum-roll please.....I got to see Gabriel baptized!!!!! I taught him for 6 months in the YSA and after a year and 9 missionaries he finally got baptized!!!!! It was such a blessing to get to see and I loved getting to talk with him again. I almost teared up a bit when he went under the water, Gabriel is probably one of my most favorite people I've taught. (idk if that sentence really made sense.) Anyway though, it was wonderful to see and it just testified to me of God's timing. Gabriel took a while to decide to finally be baptized, but in his own time, he did it.

Sometimes we really need to take a step back and have patience. I've definitely learned this lesson over the past few transfers, and I know it's an important one. We can't control everything. People have their agency, you can really only control yours. So do what you can, make the good choices you can, do your best with what you've got, and God will step in to fill the rest. I have loved being out here on a mission, even though it has been incredibly trying sometimes. I know God has been there with me every step of the way and I love him so much for it. I love this gospel and I love my Savior. I miss you all, but I will be back soon! I hope you all have a wonderful week!

Love,
Sister Jensen
