What?!?!!?!?‏

Dear Family,
What a week. I am not really in the greatest of moods, we were rebuked last night and I am still struggling with what was addressed. I don't feel like I was ever acting the way they say we were. It just doesn't seem consistent to who I have ever been or who I have ever tried to be and it hurts to have it come from the elders and to have them skip away from it like everything was okay. I don't get it. We have tried so hard to be their friends, even when they never invited us to anything or included us in anything, we still tried and now to get this...oh the frustrations.
As for transfer calls I am opening a bran new area. It is working with recently married couples in the Lansing, Holt, and Williamston wards. As to how I will find married people to teach, that is beyond me. Also I will be training again. Sister Keys is also training, she will be staying in the university ward. I am moving to the apartment next door in the living center. It should prove to be an interesting transfer. Sister Thackerary is going with Sister Scheffer (this is her last transfer) to Owosso and Martin to Portland with Sister Ricks (she came out with Sister Keys). There are 9 sisters in our district and we have a new district leader. There will be 5 elders. It is going to be interesting. I have a lot of questions but don't feel like there is anyone that I really want to ask.
Hiva: has been looking at wikipedia and other cites again. This week he read to us from wikipedia about Joseph Smith. We testified about the prophet and why he did some of the things he did. By the end of the lesson Hiva's attitude had changed and his closing prayer was very humble.
Danny: brought a friend to his lesson and taught her the restoration while we sat there. It was impressive to hear him talk about the importance of feeling the Spirit. He still has not picked a date but while talking about baptism he said it would be before the end of January.
Cloud is amazing!! He has so much faith and in our last lesson he talked about not fully understanding about God but how he wanted to follow the example of Jesus Christ. With that intro we extended a baptismal commitment and a date!! He is excited to come to church on Sunday.
Hiokei is still debating with himself if there is a God. He came to church on Sunday and at the end said that he felt good and he will come back but he things that all that we teach is just opinion. He is feeling the Spirit, praying and reading the Book of Mormon and coming to church the rest will come in time.
Al and Xiao we have not been about to contact this week. That is a little concerning.
The weather has been cold and windy but nothing too bad. My umbrella is dead, but I will try and sew it up later today. No time I tell you there is just no personal time.
The work is going well, everyone is alive. There have been a lot of driving to Doctors for hearing and dental problems. Thank heavens I have been fine but my companions have struggled. No snow yet. I hope it does not snow. Remember I have a phobia of driving in the snow...yup its still there. Our mission vehicles were vandolized after MSU lost the game on saturday. Windows were smashed in and the front of our malibu was dented.
The leaves here are beautiful and falling off the trees at a rapid pace as well. The seasons are changing quickly. I am going to miss the university ward, it is giong to be weird to be living there but not interacting with the people. The Gospel is perfect the members are not, the work we do is a marvelous work and a wonder hard as it may be it is marvelous.
Well I only have one more of these transfer calls left...can I just say that I am so ready for that.
I love you all.
Mahal ko po kayo.
ingat,
Sister Rebecca Jensen
