Hello Family,
Well, surprise I am being transfered tomorrow. Actually Sister Reyes and I are being pulled out of the area. I have felt a transfer coming for the past few days and have been denying it. Good thing I got up this morning and washed my sheets, I couldn't sleep. I have been having some pretty weird dreams lately, maybe this is a start of their fruition. We shall see. What else.
We saw another miracle this week, Wenard the boy that was sick last week and we were told that we could not continue his baptism, well we asked his cousins and sister to pray for him and he was given a blessing and he made a fast recovery. It was so humbling to watch his cousins kneel at the end of our lessons and pray for him to be able to be baptized with them. Happily we were able to watch all 5 of them baptized and confirmed and bear their testimony. Wenard's testimony came with so much power it surprised both Sister Reyes and I. Astig. [Astig means "Cool." - Emily]
I am going to really miss this area, it is where I have really begun to feel at home, I know the area and where I am going. I, like you Dad, do not like to be lost or have no idea where I am going.
I have not heard from St Luke's [Hospital] yet, and we have not had time to go back anyway. There really is no time on a mission to be sick. My advice just don't get sick, don't drink the water, juice is your enemy, ayaw ko siya [I don't like it]! Yes we are still working!
Christmas is just around the corner and a new area, grabe ["worried"], it is going to be stressful and challenging but the Lord must have some plan for me.
We had Zone Conference this past week. It was amazing we talked about using the Book of Mormon and the Spirit's role in conversion. Powerful. Zone Conference really energizes us to work harder to go out in the field and use what we have just practiced, to gain those skills that others have and use them in our work. It really is effective to learn then practice then review then practice again. It is also a lot more fun now that I understand more of the language and have investigators that have real concerns that I want to help resolve.
I think I am being transfered close to the Hospital in Quezon City Zone. At least that is what the weekly report said. We will see if they updated it too early, and if that is actually where I am going tomorrow morning. Good thing I have already done most of my laundry.
Well I think that is about it for the week. The church is true, so true, never doubt that. When times get hard that just means that there is something that we need to learn. Scary though. That is where Faith comes in. Amazing how this gospel really makes perfect sense, doubt not, fear not. Have faith, repent, be baptized, receive the Holy Ghost, follow it until the end. It is amazing to see others grasp this plan and see it in their eyes. That right there is the joy of serving a mission.
I love you all. Please stay safe and warm with all of the snow.
Love,
Sister Jensen
