Singing In the Rain

Guten Nachmittag!

Diese Woche war AUSGEZEICHNET! (awesome week)

We had so many miracles that I don't even know where to start! We were running around like crazy and contacting every person who came into view, and there were so many times where I just thought, 'I am in exactly the right place at the right time. Only God could be organizing this.' Also, I don't know why, but I just feel such a LOVE for Germans! It came on really suddenly, but for some reason I just feel this super deep love for Germany and Germans and the language and the weather and everything. I feel like I'm living in a dream!

It was really rainy this week, but we went contacting along the Rhine a lot, and it was so cool, with the stormy weather and all. I'll send pictures next week. And we talked to so many cool people who were just out there, in the rain, staring at the river and contemplating life. I realized that coming on a mission is probably the most selfless thing I will ever do. I'm always tired, I'm usually cold, people point and stare and laugh at us, (or think we're Jehova's Witnesses), and yet something about the whole experience is just so satisfying. And it's so worth it when I can bear my testimony of Christ to someone and see that light in their eyes glow a little brighter. That probably sounds really cheesy, but what the heck. I'm a missionary. Most of what I do is a little cheesy. :)

I read the coolest talk this week, and it really helped me change some of my attitudes about life. It really helps me to get up every morning and just be excited for a new day!

Sister Bognar and I are having such a good time and working hard. We tried this diet last week, it involves eating this really weird cabbage soup. But after a few days we were like, 'Oh, forget this, let's go get milkshakes.'

We also had Zone Conference this week, and I had an interview with President Schwartz. It had been 6 months since my last interview. He gave me some suggestions and said some things that were exactly what I needed to hear.

Anyway, I love you all so much. I come home in THREE MONTHS. I'm kind of freaking out! Oh well, I have lots of work still left to do before I come home.

Oh, Sister Bognar says hi!

Lots of love,
Sister Jensen
