Week 19 - Merry Christmas!!!

She is at it again. As I read her email I could only think of one word…onezie. We were able to chat for a bit today with Camri. She was rather entertaining. She said the other sisters laugh at her every night because she sleeps in a moo-moo. She has a surprise for them come Christmas day. Camri still hasn't lined up the Skype with someone up there…shocker. Hopefully we a get a call or text from someone this week lining something up. Make sure to check out her mission blog. There are several pictures of Camri on there. If you look on the missions Facebook page you can also see her singing at a baptism. She is doing great. Thanks for all your support. Merry Christmas. 






Omgoodness Christmas is in a week!! That means I get to skype my family in a week :')  Ask me if I'm excited.  Only a little. 
This week was crack-a-lackin! So on Tuesday were exchanges and I got to go to Royal City with Hermana Cluff.  Hermana Cluff is an amazing missionary and I always learn so much from her! But she goes home tomorrow so thats sad.  We ate at the Bishops house when i was with her, Bishop Christensen.  He was such a cool guy! Him and his family were spiritual power houses.  We always share a spiritual message at dinner, and after we shared one, he shared one with us.  it was really cool because what he said was something that I really needed to hear that day.  And it just reminded me of how a lot of times, Heavenly Father answers our prayers through someone else. 
Wednesday was the bomb-diggity! We had our big Christmas gathering with the other missionaries! We got to go to a big house in Quincy.  We had a way good meal, sang christmas songs, and we even watched a movie! We watched "Freetown".  It was really good, I highly recommend it.  We were there for quite a while.  We played ping-pong and got to hang out with the other missionaries.  If you follow the mission facebook page, I'm sure you saw some pics.  Shoutout to mama Jensen for sending me those sick cat tights! Lol.  Good stuff.
When we got back from the Christmas gathering, we went caroling with some members from the YSA ward.  It was quite chilly outside, but I thought it was just a ball.  No on slammed the door in our face like they do sometimes when its just the missionaries knocking :')
Thursday we got to have interviews with President which are always just the best thing ever.  Pretty sure he interviewed missionaries all day and he seemed exhausted.  Him and Sister Lewis are good people.
Don found some family names to take to the temple! Hopefully we'll be going with him for his first time on the 30th this month! hes a funny man.  He wants to take us to KFC this Saturday and he invited his non-member neighbors to come too.  He's such a good missionary :')
On Friday we had a lesson with a guy named Bobby! Hes a new investigator.  We met him at the food bank a while back because he works there.  Turns out, hes been taught by missionaries before and he asked us if we could start teaching him again! We taught him the Restoration and invited him to be baptized on February 3rd.  He said yes, and that hes going to start reading the Book of Mormon! Sounds like hes had problems making commitments in the past when missionaries taught him.  So hopefully hes ready now.  Hes a way cool guy :)
So Joey and Annette that we've been teaching are now going to be taught by the 1st ward sisters.  Just because they've been going to that ward and all of their fellowship is there.  The stake president had to approve it and its all kind of been a mess.  But its worked out now! And I think this is whats best for their family.  I'm just sad I won't be teaching them anymore, ya know? But as long as they're being taught, thats all that matters :)
Well here's a spazzy moment of sister Jensen for ya: So on Saturday morning I was getting ready and I put on a skirt that I decided not to wear.  So I tried to unzip it and my shirt got stuck in the zipper.  And I'm talking like... STUCK.  I could not get it out! So i couldn't get the skirt off! I literally didn't know what to do.  All the sisters were laughing but I was freaking out a little not gonna lie.  I ended up getting it off but my shirt suffered a little... it has a hole now.  Long story short.  I was late to correlation.  But it was a good memory.  
Wellll I would type more but I gotta go.  Love you all! Have a good Christmas! Oh yeah, and I get to email on Tuesday next week since monday is christmas :)

Love, Sister Jensen
