1 Week and Counting...‏December 1, 2014

Oi familia e amigos!

I can't believe that it is already my last week here in New Jersey. In exactly a week from today, I will be flying to Brazil. That is just unbelievable! I get more and more excited each day to be there in Brazil, but each and every day here, I love the people more. I am really going to miss the ward members as well as all of our investigators and other people that we have met. One of the coolest things about New Jersey is the cultural diversity. There are people from EVERYWHERE here and I just love it! I have gotten to meet so many wonderful people, and I am so sad to leave all of them. I do know that it will be okay though because it is all in the Lord's hands.

I have gotten to go on two super fun exchanges this past week (one of them I am on today) because this is Sister Paight's last transfer in her mission. I have been with, for both exchanges, Sister Kloppell and Sister Harvey. They are so absolutely amazing, and I have loved seeing their love for the people here and their dedication.

Our mission has just started to put a huge emphasis on bringing back less active priesthood holders. What a blessing this has been! There is a wonderful less active family that we are working with right now that we love so much! The Jimenez family has become one of our biggest miracles. As we visit this family, we have seen them go through so many different trials, but their faith in the Savior, Jesus Christ is amazing. They have been such a strength to me as I see their desire to follow the gospel with all their might. I promise that the gospel changes lives. It has already begun to change theirs as they come back into activity in the church. They are just one example of this that I have seen here.

I love you all and am excited to email you very soon from the hot, humid Brazil.

Com Amor,

Sister Jensen

ps. the picture I attached is of Sister Harvey, Sister Kloppell, and I together on exchange. We are all wearing wigs--I promise none of us really look like that normally.

Here is the senior couple that just went home from our ward,
