Week Four! July 3, 2013


"Hello Mother :),
 
I sure love you! You are so amazing. Thanks for keeping me posted on everything. You may think that I may not be interested in all of the little things, but really that's what I love to hear about! Adam Buck is a DEACON!!? That seriously blows my mind. And that sounds like a lot of fun for their family to go backpacking. Speaking of the Allreds, one of the zone leaders who always comes to my district meetings every week (Elder Sutner) was Nic's companion at one time. When I said I was from Ogden he was like, "do you know Nic Allred?! he's the best!"
 
It sounds like you have a great summer ahead of you! That is some hot heat for June! But, nothing we're not experiencing here! The temperature can easily be in the 100s here. Thank goodness for a car with AC! I feel bad for those on bikes. I think last time I told you Gainesville is the 11th hottest city in the country? It's actually the 7th according to some of the other sisters. Greeeeaaat ;) The humidity doesn't help with the heat much either. Island Park will be such a blast! That is the hard part about being on a mission during the summer time, you miss all of these great activities! BUT it's all good :) Samuel Russell Jensen!!!! You need to write me and at least say hello!! :) After all, I'm not going to see you for three years! Bear Lake sounds like it will be a blast! You'll have to tell me how that goes.
 
Yes, we got a new mission president whom I haven't met yet! Zone conference is this Friday and I think we will meet them there?  President Barry and Sister Barry were so amazing though. Even though I only got to meet them in person a few times, we would do conference calls every Friday with groups of missionaries. They are two amazing people. I know President and Sister Craig will be phenomenal as well. You should attach the picture the Barry's sent you to go on the blog because I never saw it and would love it on the blog.
 
Well, not much happened this week. We are really needing to find some good investigators. I can't believe this is going to be my fourth week! Sister Toledo and I have a bet on if I'll be training or not next transfer. I say I'm not and she says I am. I get Olive Garden and HiChews if I'm not training and I owe her McDonalds and Haagen Daz if I am. The odds are not looking too good for me because there are so many new missionaries coming out. But seriously, I feel so lost. Oh boy... if I'm training!
 
We got a ward mission leader last week (we didn't have one before that). He's going to be really great I can tell. The hard thing is that he is brand new into the ward so he doesn't know anyone. You know how I said we don't really get meals from members that often? He is wanting us to have meals with members every night to get to know them. As great as that is, that scares me that I'm going to gain so much weight.
 
Well, I love you and can't wait to hear back from you! Also, I don't know how much shipping is, but I never brought the missionary library book list. True to the Faith, Our Search For Happiness, etc. in deseret book they have them cheap apparently? And a good story from our ancestors would be great.
 
Love you all!!
 
Sister Jensen"
