The Bahn Strike

Hello everyone,

Highlight of the week: the Bahn strike!

(that's only half sarcastic.) The trains here went on strike, which meant that we had many unexpected delays, a few appointments we had to cancel, and quite a lot of time wasted at train stations, but it actually turned out to be a blessing in disguise! On Friday, we were waiting at the Bahnhof, and we got into a conversation with someone from Peru, who was here as a school teacher. We gave her a book a Mormon and the phone number for the missionaries in her area. Then, later, as we were stuck at a different Bahnhof, we got into a conversation with a woman who knew a member in our ward, and drove past the temple almost every day. She had quite a few questions, and we're going to set up a temple tour for this week with her. Then, later, stuck at yet another Bahnhof, we met a student in Frankfurt who lived literally across the street from the temple in Colombia, and also had a lot of questions! We got her in touch with the Frankfurt Elders and they're working with her now. It is just so cool to see how anything, no matter how frustrating or annoying, can also be an opportunity!

Another AWESOME thing, which will most certainly be my highlight for next week, is that Elder Bednar is coming to our mission! I am so excited! It's actually tomorrow morning! This is double exciting because it also means the whole mission will come together for a mission conference, so I'll see my whole MTC district again, and all of the Sisters will be together at once.

We also had a baptism yesterday, and Sister Römer and I sang again. We brought one of our investigators to the baptism, and it was so cool! He felt the spirit so strong, and afterward, he said that he wants to be baptized! He is such a cool kid. 18 years old. He has such a sincere heart. I don't think I have ever seen him not smiling. Please pray for him! (his name is Leonel).

Well, that's about it! Love you all,
Sister Jensen

P.S. Happy Birthday Melinda!
