"If only you could see the vision as I have. I wish I had your bodies to do this work. I would run from house to house telling everyone of the gospel. And after I lost the strength to run I would begin to walk, and after I collapsed from walking I would begin to crawl, and after my knees were so bloody that I could not use them I would use my arms to drag myself, and once every muscle in my body was gone I would begin to yell! Oh, only if you could see the vision I have." -Spencer W. Kimball

Ammon Like Servants
Dear Family & Friends,
Well there isn't much to say since we just skyped yesterday!! That was so amazing to see all of you again. I wished I could have talked all night but it was wonderful anyways. You all looked so happy! It was great to meet Shannon and Derek as well. They seem like such amazing people.
This week has been crazy busy like always!! On Tuesday this week we had mission leadership council. It was SO amazing and I felt a greater desire to do better. President trained on working with members and being Ammon-like servants. He talked about how we need to be the ones serving the members, not the other way around. We should be the first to stack chairs, we should leave the building clean after we use it and we should always have a "How can I serve" attitude. It was a wonderful training and we're looking forward to implementing what we learned. President also introduces two new things that we will be doing. We will start to teach lesson 5 before baptism and he also wants us to keep in touch with our recent converts for at least 90 days after baptism. So that's exciting.
We had two exchanges, one to Loughborough and one to Nuneaton. We had some awesome miracles! We taught John with our ward mission leader and it was a powerful lesson. John is so elect!!! Our Ward mission leader suggested that we move forward his baptismal date, because it was supposed to be in June but he is fully ready for baptism. We went through the interview questions with him in the lesson just to see where he was at and he had no problems with anything. So we're going to teach him loads this week and we'll see if he is ready for this Saturday. His desire for baptism is amazing. He is super excited about it even gets kinda giddy whenever we mention it! He is awesome.
We also taught a guy called Tyler this week. He is chinese and scheduled for baptism late June. He's a very logical thinker though and the gospel isn't coming easily for him. In our lesson we asked him if he could ask God one question what would it be? And he said he would like to know what will happen in his future. We asked him, Do you think God cares what will happen in your future? He said No. We tried to testify to him about how much God loves him and if his earthly father, who is imperfect loves him so much and cares about his future, how much more does his Heavenly Father who is imperfect care about him and his future. The spirit was so strong and we were both getting kind of emotional. He said that if anything, he believes that God cares because he sent me to be his angel. It was such a special moment and I know that Tyler felt the spirit. We will continue working with Him and pray for him. Please pray for Tyler!
Well, I sure love all of you SO much! Thank you for your continuous support and prayers. You are the best!
Love, Sister Jensen
