Whirlwind of a Week!

Dear Family & Friends, Wow, well, it's been a whirlwind of a week!! We had two exchanges this week. Our first was on Tuesday. I actually got to leave the area for the first time in forever!! I went on exchange with Sister Sequiera to Loughborough. We mostly did a lot of finding because all of the teaching appointments fell through. It was SO great to be out of the car, working like a normal missionary again! I have missed it. Back in Coventry, Sister Gardner and Sister Ellis taught Steve (our amazing recent convert John's, friend). He is so excited about the gospel and has committed to baptism on the 27th of June! They also taught a guy called David. We found David about a week ago. He was adopted into a Jewish family when he was a child, but isn't a practicing Jew. During our conversation, he asked some amazing questions and he agreed to meet with us again so we could discuss them! So they met with him and taught him Restoration and apparently it went really well! We will teach him again this week so we're excited for him! We exchanged back on Wednesday and after, we taught Marjorie and Michelle, two chinese girls. We taught them plan of Salvation. It was interesting. Both of them are Buddhist and it was weird because they were agreeing with everything we taught but then they would throw in what they believe. Haha. Oh well, we will continue to teach them and see how it goes. We were supposed to meet Tyler at four o clock. We went to the place where we were meeting him and we waiting for about 15 minutes, but he didn't show. So we went to city centre and we were talking with people, when suddenly he jumped in front of us, out of breath. He apologised and said he probably just missed us. He explained, almost in tears that he had just met with his tutor and found out that he won't be able to graduate this year as he planned with his Master's degree because he failed one of his courses. He was DEVESTATED. We felt so bad! So we sat with him on a bench in city centre and tried to get his mind off it. The poor guy. He's been so busy lately with his dissertation and now this so we haven't been able to see him. Please keep him in your prayers! Thursday was district meeting, then we had some asesome lessons with Wisdom, Steve,and Edison. Friday we had exchanges again! I stayed in Cov with Sister Reed. We did some finding, and then we had a lesson with Bryan that evening. He's the one from Nigeria who has awesome questions. Well we taught the Gospel of Jesus Christ and it was an awesome lesson. Saturday we switched back in the afternoon then had a baptism of CC< the Elder's investigator. Steve was able to come and loved it! At the baptism, Bishop asked me if i would be willing to do a musical number in sacrament for father's day, if I wasn't missing my Dad too badly. Well, I told him I would love to even though I was missing my Dad :) Haha. So I decided to sing "He Sent His Son." I was so grateful for the opportunity I had to pay tribute to not only my wonderful Father, but also my Heavenly Father. The words of the song really hit me too. It goes like this: How could the Father show the world of love and tenderness? He sent His son a newborn babe, with peace and holiness. How could the Father show the world the pathway we should go? He sent His son to walk with men, on earth, that we may know. How could the Father tell the world of sacrifice, of death? He sent His son to die for us, and rise with living breath! What does the Father ask of us? What do the scriptures say? Have faith, have hope, live like His son, help others on their way. What does He ask? Live like His son. I believe that Heavenly Father also sent my Father to me to show love and tenderness. My father has followed in the path of the Saviour to be and example to of how I should live. He has sacrificed SO much for me to teach me that I should sacrifice all I have for the Lord. How gratefuly I am for the gift of my Father. I love you Daddy! I hope you had a great Father's day and that you know how much I love you. Thank you all for your prayers and support! Love, Sister Jensen
