Guten Nachmittag!
This week was pretty cool. Sister Römer and I have been getting to know each other a little better, and having lots of fun. This whole week it has been POURING down rain (in July! Crazy. Must be the Second Coming.) But we're mastering the art of riding bikes with umbrellas.
Highlight of this week: Mission Leader Council. They always invite one companionship of Sisters to come, but I had never been before! Part of it was just talking about numbers and how each of the zones are doing, but we also talked about Europe as a whole and how missionary work is going, and what plans the Europe office has, and it was fascinating! Apparently things are going really well, and there are a couple of countries, Portugal, for example, where missionary work has just taken off and they went from having a couple hundred baptisms a year to a couple thousand! Germany will be next :) We gave a talk in Relief Society and Priesthood about missionary work yesterday, and now the members are really getting excited, and everyone is catching the vision!
Please pray for missionary work here. Pray that we can find the people who are ready. Also, please pray for our investigators, especially the da Luz family, the Quiring family, and Peter. We could really use your faith!
A couple in our ward got sealed this weekend (they've been married for almost 10 years), and we helped make the wedding cake and decorate the church building for the party afterward, and then we gave a temple tour to the guests who couldn't go in the temple. It was a really cool day! It made me think of Grandma and Grandpa Jones, getting sealed after so long being together. The Spindens (the family that got sealed) were so happy! You could just tell they were glowing inside. So cool!
Sister Römer is helping me tons with my German, and I'm helping her with her Englisch. It's kind of cool to not be the only one making ridiculous language mistakes all the time, haha. But my German is getting way better! And she's also teaching me a few phrases in Swiss German, which is actually an entirely different language. When Sister Römer talks to people in Swiss German, I have no clue what she's saying. It sounds cool though!
That's about it. Hope all is well at home! I heard the last Harry Potter movie came out last week! Hope it was awesome. I'll be stoked to see that when I get home.
Love you all,
Sister Jensen
