I love you all!!!‏

Hello Jensen Family,

I can't believe what a busy week it has been for everyone that I got a letter from. I am glad to come from such a busy righteous family.
My week has been a great week, we were given a lead to where the mom of that Filipino family lives, on Henry Street they said. Well if anyone looks up Henry Street they will notice that it is a good 1/2 mile long. Of course we tracted the entire thing. And yes we finally found her, she was about to close the door after saying she wanted a break from the Church when I blabbered out "Can I just talk to a Filipina it has been so long since I have been able to just talk with one" well that opened her up and an hour later we were enjoying glasses of cold water and talking away happily about the Philippines. She even invited us back for a party she is throwing next Saturday. We are still praying for her a lot, that her heart will be softened and she will have the desire to listen to the gospel again and give her family another chance. I know that it was a miracle to even get into her house, to even find her house, I am positive that we had heavenly help and that I had help during that conversation to know what to say. I opened my mouth in faith and it was filled. What a blessing!!!
Other then that not much has happened, we extended 2 baptismal dates to our investigators Rich and Ida, then we had to give Rich over to the elders. That was terrible, getting so attached to these people and desiring their welfare then giving them over to Elders. Luckily we trust the Elders and we trust the Lord so things will work out but it is still hard. They both accepted July 10th dates though so I am hoping to see some baptisms in this area!! Another good thing is that Sister Holland a recent convert that was taught 100% in the library and never let anyone home to meet her husband or kids invited us over for next Tuesday!!! We are praying to help unify their family and the Hickey's in this gospel before I am transferred.
I woke up and was in a cleaning mood today...yes I know I get carried away but everything felt so dirty. I used a lot of my quarters and we washed the car inside and out, then I made us detail the inside. Then we cleaned the inside of our apartment, I am still missing a vacuum (our RS is supposedly working on that). Then Sister Wright took a nap while I finished cleaning and wrote letters and answered phone calls. We are going to play volley ball with the YSA after this. We were trying to e-mail this morning but the system was down so we had to come back now. I have decided that this library reminds me of the SLC library it is circular and kind of looks the same. Ashley as a civil engineer you will love how we have to turn left here in Michigan. There are no left turns, well in the small cities there are but big cities not really you have to turn right and then do a U turn to get going left. Awesome isn't is...actually it is really nice sometimes and a pain at others. I think it is very creative to come up with that system of turning.
We had an awesome district meeting this past week, the Spirit was really strong, we talked about the conference talk that was about "to be and to do" then we connected that to Christlike attributes of Charity and Love. We received a lot of revelation for our area and were just completely edified by that meeting. Sister Wright and I both agreed that we are grateful for times that we get to gather as missionaries and be fed by the Spirit.
I think that is about it for the week, the work continues, time is just flying past I cannot believe that it is June already!! The weather continues to be hot and muggy and the trees are just lovely with all the green. What a blessing it is to be serving another mission. I am so glad that I get to come back out and serve again to have a great happy experience this time, I can now look people in the eye and say that I am a happy and successful missionary who loves the Lord and loves this work and can see miracles daily!!! I was able to do that in the Philippines but the mask of pain was so great sometimes it made the view of these things foggy.
I love you all and am so grateful for all of you!!!
Take care,
Mahal ko po kayo!!
