Sister Bogner and I are staying together!

Hello, everyone!

It's a beautiful day, and I have marvelous news: Sister Bognár and I are staying together!
We had totally given up on the idea; in our mission it's really rare to stay together for so long, especially when both of us are so 'old'. It's about the best gift I could ever have! I'm ridiculously happy, and we both have the feeling that something great is going to happen this transfer. We're full of a lot of hope and faith!

This means I will end my mission here in Düsseldorf, with Sister Bognár. My hungarian vocabulary is growing every day. I'm a little bit weirded out to think that I'm in my last transfer, but I'm not trunky, and I'm working hard right up to the end. There's a really great quote from C.S. Lewis that describes how I feel:
“We shall of course be very muddy and tattered children by the time we reach home. But the bathrooms are all ready, the towels put out, and the clean clothes in the airing cupboard.”

Anyway, enough of that topic. I may have mentioned it last week, but Iwona finished reading the Book of Mormon (in less than two weeks! How many of us do that?) and she said it was like she was hungry for more. She told us that she's ready for baptism, but that she's really scared at the same time, because her best friend stopped talked to her entirely because she's meeting with us. On one hand, it's easy to say, "Well, she wasn't a very good friend, then," but either way it's really hard on Iwona, and she's lost a huge source of friendship and support. She's afraid of what others will say -- especially her family -- if she gets baptized. Please pray for her!

Lots of miracles are happening in our mission right now. We had a conference call with our mission president and he told us some stories that blew my mind. There's a promise for Germany that there will one day be 100's of stakes and dozens of temples. Right now, you can count the number of stakes in Germany on one hand, and there are two temples. That means that something is going to change in the next few years, and we're already starting to feel it!

I love you all, thank you for your love and support.
Sister Jensen

P.S. I'm attatching a picture of me with Iwona and her kids, as well as a picture from the cathedrals we looked at last p-day. The last one is of Sister Bognar and I in a confessional. (we had some things to talk about). :)
