Tan in England!

Dear Family and friends!! 
What a wonderful week it has been! I actually got a tan in England!!! Sunshine does exist! Everyone here is much happier than normal which is always a plus for missionary work. We've been able to do a lot of teaching this week which was wonderful. We also went on two exchanges. Sister Gardner still doesn't have her license which means I have to stay in Coventry for every exchange. It's a little rough because it means we only have about 2 days during the week when we're actually together. But our investigators are all doing really well right now. Leevoy is very excited for his upcoming baptism and we only have a few more things to teach him. We also taught Tyler this week. He is now on a date for June 28th. He is chinese and doing his post-grad in automotive design. He took us out to lunch after our lesson with him this week to a cantonese restaurant. He made sure that we tried everything before he told us what it was. Haha. The weirdest thing we ate was cow stomach. Which actually wasn't that bad! Just really chewy. We also started teaching this guy called John. Sister Muller and I met him a couple transfers ago and he lived in the Elders area so we handed him over, but I guess they could never get in touch with him because he texted us and asked how we were doing. We set up a lesson with him and he is SO incredibly golden!!! We had a perfect first lesson with him about the restoration. We got to see him twice during the week. He came for a baptism on Saturday and we taught him plan of salvation and invited him to be baptised on a date! He accepted and is looking forward to his baptism in June! He is so prepared!!! Lots of our investigators have been super busy recently though with Exams. Those will finish this week so we are VERY excited about that! Things are going really well right now so we cannot complain! The sisters are all doing so well also. I love being able to go on exchange with them and learn from them and get to know them. This week I got to go with a new missionary which was a treat! The poor girl was just so tired and is still adjusting to the schedule. But being with her just made me realize really how far I have come and how much I have learned on my mission. I feel like all I remember and all I know is missionary work. And what I have learned more than anything is that I am so imperfect and that I really don't know anything at all! I know that God loves His children, but just like Nephi, I don't know the meaning of all things. But that love is all we need. If we know how much God loves us and wants us to succeed then that love will govern every choice we make and prepare us to live with him again someday. The gospel is so wonderful and beautiful. I am so excited to talk to you all in less than one week!!! I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH!!!
Love,

Sister Jensen
