Our Hilario(us) New Investigator

Hello, everyone!

I was really re-charged and inspired by General Conference. It was a little hard to concentrate while juggling investigators' kids, but I still had some really strong impressions that came to me while listening to the talks. I'm sure you've all had similar experiences, but I could have sworn a few of the talks were talking directly to me.

This week, we got a referral! (One of 6 referrals I've gotten my whole mission). In most parts of America, missionary work is almost entirely referral-based, but in Germany they are few and far between. This one came from the Hawaii temple Visitor Center. A family from Germany -- The Hilario family -- was on vacation there. They hadn't planned to visit the temple, but they decided to go, just to use the bathroom. They met some sister missionaries there who spoke their native language (Tagalog -- they're from the Phillipines), and in the end asked if they could have a tour after all. A few weeks later we got the referral that they wanted a copy of the Book of Mormon, which we delivered, and they invited us to come back and teach their family! We're meeting with them again on Wednesday.

Other than that, everything's going really well. I registered for my BYU classes last week, including German 330. :) Should be good!

I love you all!
Sister Jensen
