Week 16 - HEYYY

So a couple cool things happened this week. We had a knock on our door on Sunday night and it was Wes Lifferth. Wes lives in our ward and was our bishop while our kids were growing up. He had a picture on his cell phone of Camri in church with his brother. That might not be a big deal to most, but his brother is from Indiana and was just visiting Moses Lake on the exact same day that a girl from Payson was speaking. He walked up to Camri and introduced himself. Just another tender mercy. Also, one of the girls in the singles ward is from Spanish fork. She was home for the weekend and was able to take Camri's Christmas and some other things back to Camri for us. She was able to express how awesome Camri is doing. Some of you may recall how Camri is directionally challenged. One time while driving by the Hare Krishna Temple, she shouted out, hey its Peteetneet. I asked her to drive me to provo and she went up and started making a left hand turn at Little Caesars and driving me to Spring Lake. Thank Heavens for the iPhone. Anyway, I tell you this because a GPS was at the top of her Christmas list. Some kind ward members let her use one last week until hers arrives. She told us that it started smoking and quit working. My thoughts are it burned up from overuse. Hahaha. Camri really had a hard time saying goodbye to sister Wadman. It was probably harder for her to tell her goodbye than it was to tell her family. I am so happy she had an amazing companion to start her mission with. I am sure she will remain great friends throughout her life with Sister Wadman. She is excited to start the new adventure with Sister Shepherd. Thanks for your support. On to week 17. 

                                                                                                                             


Hey everyone!!
Thanksgiving was just a blast and a half! I ate way too dang much but its all gucci.  We ate at the bishops house and then right after we headed over to our investigators, Shayna.  She fed us too.  Then we went over to a member in the YSA and ate some more pie.  Haha I guess you could say it was a pretty successful Thanksgiving.  Sorry I didn't take pics though....
So Wednesday was transfers! It was quite the day! Not gonna lie, some tears were shed... but thats expected coming from me, right? Right.  Sister Wadman taught me a lot and I was sad to see her go.  But! Sister Shepherd is really awesome! Shes a lot different from Sister Wadman.  And her and I are very different people as well.  But shes a bomb missionary and theres a ton that I can learn from her! One thing I can for sure learn from her is how to work out... holy cow.  The other day I timed her while she ran ladders.  And every night before bed she does 50 pushups and 50 situps.  I've been doing those with her lately hahah its been an adventure. 
We've been tracting the crap out of this place the last few days.  Trying to find new investigators because the work has been slowing down.  We met some interesting people i'll tell you what..... hahah missions are insane. 
We met with a couple last night, the Pattersons.  Richard Patterson is a member but his wife, Anne Patterson, isn't.  Shes from Thailand and shes only been here for about 7 months.  I guess they met online on a site called "Thai Friendly" or something like that.  She's a Buddhist I guess but is open to learning about other religions.  Her english is actually pretty good but her husband wants her to be taught in Thai.  so we're going to figure out if theres a way to do missionary lessons via skye or something with a Thai missionary.  Is that possible? I don't know.  But it would be cool if we could figure something like that out. 
Oh I lost my flashdrive this week... I think I left it at walmart.  Sad day.  It had all my pics from the MTC and from Sis. Wadman.  But no worries I think i could probably find all the pictures again on my email and stuff.
I spoke in church yesterday! it went well I think.  I spoke on Bonnie L. Oscarson's talk "The Needs Before Us".  Super good talk! Go look it up if ya get a sec. 
OHHHHH LIGHT THE WORLD IS SO LEGIT!!! We show it to people on their doorstep while we're tracting if they let us.  Its super funny because people will answer the door and say, "We're not interested".  So we'll tell them about the light the world initiative and how its all about service.  And they still say "We're not interested".  And we say "You're not interested in doing service for others?" and they say no and its super funny.  Ahh people these days. 
Well, thats about it for ya this week.  We have quite a bit of lessons tomorrow though so I'll let yall know how it goes. 
LOVE YOU!!!!
-Sister Jensen
