Dear Family & Friends,
Can you believe there's only 3 more of these? I can't! I'm sorry if I'm not as descriptive as I used to be in these emails! I will do my best :) If there's anything that I feel at this point more than anything, it's exhuastion!!! I'm not complaining, because I know it's what I should be feeling, but I just feel bad when I'm struggling during sunday school to stay awake!! Forgive me family if I sleep for a few days :)
This week has been challenging but wonderful as well. Monday after p-day was crazy. We were supposed to get a lift to a lesson with Amy from a member but the member called and cancelled on us about an hour before the appointment so we had to cut our pday short to bike there. It was in a little village called Pantside and if it wasn't for the hills, it would have only taken us about 20 minutes to get there but we had to get off our bikes and push for a lot of it. I know, we're whimps. It was worth it though because the lesson went great. Amy is the sweetest and we got a Return Appointment with her. It was a short lesson, only 30 mintues because we had to bike to a LA's, Lynn, who was feeding us at 7:30 and that took us about an hour to get there. Again, not because it's super far, but because of the hills! We had dinner with Lynn and then read from the BOM with her.
Tuesday was great. I had my final Zone Meeting :'( and everyone sang happy birthday to me and gave me a card. We came home after and then did some finding. Some members called us and asked if we wanted to come out with them on splits to help them do their Visiting Teaching. So I went with one of the ladies and it was lovely. We taught Christy this week as well, she was the one who has a member friend. So her friend came to the lesson and we talked about God as our loving Heavenly Father and about prayer and the atonement. It was good. She is still hesitant to come to church but she wants to start coming to youth. We also got two new investigators, Susan and Martin! They are both Christian but Martin has been meeting with the JW's so we've gotta get him while we can! Ha. Just kidding :) He had SOOO many questions so we got an appointment with them for this week.
Heather is doing great! We taught her twice this week and she has such wonderful questions. We taught her the restoration and I think it helped to put everything together for her. We're hoping to commit her to a baptismal date this week and hopefully she can get baptised this transfer!! Please pray for Heather! :D
On Saturday we went to one of the little villages we haven't been to yet. It's super far away so not accessible by bikes. We got a lift there and then got a bus back. But it was such a ghost town! We were able to stop by some of the members there and one of them was a 92 year old woman called May Pavey. She is so lovely!! We sang her favourite hymn for her, which was How Great Thou Art. She tried her best to sing along but couldn't really. Then she offered to say a prayer and it was so beautiful. She just had so much gratitude to Heavenly Father for being a member of the gospel and she made us all cry! I hope I can be like that when i'm old and wrinkly :) We also stopped by a LA couple, the Probert's. They're in the 80's and haven't been to church in a long time. We had a good chat with them and talked about coming back to church. The husband, Harry isn't as interested as his wife is but he didn't say no! So We're going to go back and start re-teaching them which is HUGE. We called the Bishop and he was ecstatic to hear that. S
o at the moment we're doing our best with what we have! I love Wales though. It's so beautiful and the people are very friendly! I love the gospel! I love being a missionary! It is the best. I really am enjoying my last few weeks. The Lord is truly blessing me and I just feel so at peace. Thank you all for your love and your prayers!
Love you so much!
Sister Jensen
