Hello everyone!
Sounds like this has been
a great week for you! I will be praying for you as well on the direction that
you should take. I agree though... no Jensen ever needs to be involved in
Politics. I get Sarah's emails every once in a while. It is nice to hear how
she is doing and it is weird to me that she has already been out as long as she
has. I really enjoy serving as a missionary and would never exchange the things
that I have learned here. In the words of President Hinckley "It remains
the best and most productive 2 years of my life...still". This week was
full of amazing things and lessons. We did two trainings this week; One up in
the North Zone for our Sisters, and one in our own Zone. It is amazing to see
the hand in the Lord as you pray and ask for guidance on what to do. We also
spent a lot of time at the Temple of Thursday (see mom's email for more info).
On Friday we had Zone Conference's with President Miles and the Foothills zone.
I got to see Sister Kendrick, Wagstaff, and Allard again which is always fun. I
really enjoy having President and Sister Miles in our mission. The work is
improving and our mission is becoming even better than before.
Saturday we went on
Exchanges with the Airdrie Sisters. I went up to Airdire with Sister Durrant
who if you remember is someone that I came out with. I really enjoyed being
able to teach and learn from her as well as be concerned with and a part of their
missionary work as well. It has been a crazy but amazing week! I wish that I
could share more! Next Sunday is the Montreal Temple Dedication! It should be
awesome!
Things are a lot busier
here in the Calgary Zone and as an STL. Now I have more responsibilities then I
did before to prepare for and this week has just been ridiculous when it came
to study time because we were always at a meeting and didn't always have time
to do anything but prepare for the meetings which we are going to, however that
doesn't mean that I am or have giving up on the challenge we are doing. It just
means that I too am behind a little. I just started the book of Jarom... so I
really don't know where we are supposed to be this week, but I have really
enjoyed what I have read so far. Enos is still one of my favorite books and as
I read it on Wednesday it really prepared me for the training that we gave to
the Elders. You know what I learned this week? I learned that the Book of
Mormon really is a witness of Christ. It answers the question of the soul
"How can a belief in Christ help me" because it is literally
witnesses and testimonies of Prophets and how a belief in Christ helped them,
their families, and how it could/did help their societies. It is amazing! I
love reading the Book of Mormon and know that as we read it we will find a
better understanding of who Christ is and how he can help us!
Oh we went to the temple
as a district on Thursday! We got to do Baptisms (which I haven't done in 8
years), and we took a name all the way through. And it was our own Family
History. I did the name of Hansine Olsen, whom was born in Denmark and then I
also found another name for one of the Elders to take through Thomas Grimmett.
It was such an amazing experience to take a name through all of the way and I
learned so much about the Plan of Salvation and why the Lord does what he does.
We truly are His children and I feel like everything on this earth is to
prepare us to live and accept the principles and laws of Heaven. I love you so
much. I don't have too much time but I wanted you to know that the Lord does
love you! I am excited to see you in a couple of months and I got my November
package yesterday (it is nice to get mail more regularly again). Thank you for
the Winter stuff, it is needed. As far as Christmas goes I would like letter
from everyone (especially those of who never write me... JOSH... DANNY) and I
am in need of less grungy white undershirts but other than that I really am
doing great. I learn to make new outfits every day, and I am not too tired with
what I have. I might be in need of new brown boots, but really that it not a
necessity. I love you so much! Thank you for being my constant support!
Love you Forever!
