"I know the Book of Mormon is true and will make a
lifetime study of it." - Eryun
JENSEN
FAMILY!!!!
Eryun is baptized and confirmed!! HORRAY!! It was a wonderful and powerful experience for all those involved. He asked us if he could share his testimony after he was baptized and I was not expecting the power and strength of his testimony of the Book of Mormon and his knowledge that he is a son of God. It was one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard on my mission. I love to hear the testimonies of those that were recently baptized; their testimony comes with such power and simplicity. He will receive the Aaronic Priesthood next Sunday, when he came out of his interview he looked so excited he could hardly stand still. He is so excited for his wife to come join him and to learn about the gospel as well. She finally has her visa and they are looking at plane tickets for mid February. This is going to be one amazing baptism, where he gets to baptize her......I am super jealous of the missionaries that get to teach her. In his testimony he called us angels, it was amazing the Spirit that came while he testified. He is going to do great things!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Yes there are a lot of exclamation points, I happen to be very excited!)
Bronjal and Pratibha came to church this Sunday. We finally asked Jodi Evans to come with us to a lesson and they connected so well. They and the Evans family have a lot of similarities and they have become friends quickly. They came to church with the Evans and sat with them and loved church. We were also able to teach the 10 commandments with Sister Evans and she added a lot of insight and strength to the lesson, it was beautiful! We are excited to see them again tonight and see how they felt about church and what questions they have. (Brother Evans reminds me a lot of Clark, it is quite fun!)
Joy is an amazing woman, she is very strong in her faith and is struggling with a need for the Book of Mormon. We brought Sister Hatch with us to our lesson this morning and it was an intense lesson. Sister Hatch was able to connect the Bible with the Book of Mormon in a way that was revelatory to all present and how they do go hand in hand. It was amazing! With time and love Joy will come to see the fullness of the Gospel, at the moment she is too comfortable where she is at, we are still planning on meeting with her and helping her do service at her house next Saturday the 21st.
Sister Jones in Kalamazoo is amazing. I was very impressed by her sincerity to do this work and her desire to love and serve the people. It was a blast to go and serve with her. We tracted apartments for 3 hours solid and were still laughing and having fun at the end. Missionary work should be like that, it is about having fun and enjoying life because you are being blessed with the Spirit and with happiness.
Hiva is finally being baptized this Saturday. After about 6 months of meeting with us he has finally committed to a date and time!!! I get to say the opening prayer, how sweet of him to ask. I love being included in even a small way at these baptisms. We have had so many of them lately it is quite a boost to the Spirit.
Study has lately been a haven of peace and rest and I love it and look forward to it daily. It is one thing that I have a goal to keep throughout my life, a solid time to spend in the scriptures feasting upon the words of Christ. I have been so grateful to read the words of Alma to his sons talking about his own conversion. There is so much power in his testimony because he has felt the power of the atonement. He truly understood what it was like to feel such pain and sorrow and then to feel such light. Reading it has given me a greater desire to share this light and freedom with others. Just like Alma we too can help others find that peace, find that clarity in their lives. It is a beautiful and a wonderful thing.
My time here is winding to a close. You only get a few more of these letters before I will be home. Don't worry I am still sprinting hard towards the finish line.

I will be
in Caro Thursday night until Saturday morning, please pray that it is good
weather. Elder DeHart and Ransley happily volunteered to drive us...hallelujah!...so
that will help greatly. What a blessing it is to go and do trade-offs and be
able to help these sisters.
I love you all so much. I know that this Gospel is true, the more I teach it the more I feel of its power and the great and glorious plan of our Heavenly Father. We are so blessed to be doing what we are doing.
Mahal ko po kayo.
Ingat,
Sister Jensen
