Hello family & friends: This week we were in an
apartment building & we asked a guy unlocking his door if he had ever met
missionaries before, he looked at us & RAN! Hahaha I was laughing &
Sister Cannon looked a little frightened. He stopped sprinting down the hall,
turned around, & was laughing! Haha I have never had anyone run away from
us jokingly or seriously before, so that was a new experience. He said people
tell him if he ever sees missionaries to run the other way 😂
we had a super good conversation, like super good. It made my
whole week!
We met another guy sitting outside on his porch & chatted
with him for a good while about faith. Then he nicknamed us J.C. (Jensen/Cannon
or Jesus Christ)👍 pretty cool nickname!
A family in our ward had their daughter/niece come home from
her mission this week! We helped them get ready for her return. We went over
there to party with them for dinner. They are from Ghana & fed us fu-fu. We
both really wanted to try fu-fu so she made it for us. Fu-fu is an
African dish that is like a huge glob of dumpling with soup & you it with
your RIGHT hand, not left. That's a BIG no no! So we were trying it, while
hesitant, & the Sister comes and says, "Ahhh Sisters you don't chew
it, you swallow it!" It was super different... I had such a hard time
trying to swallow it whole & slurp it out of my hands. Haha good times! I
LOVE the different cultures & religions here. It is so interesting & a
lot of the time I feel like I'm not in America! This place is thee best.
We had our two recent converts receive the gift of the Holy
Ghost yesterday. That was a neat experience. The Spirit was so strong in
Sacrament. 💕
Have you all watched the Prince of Peace video this Easter
season?!? If you haven't, you should! It is amazing!! Every time I watch the
video, which is a lot, I feel so peaceful. In this crazy world we all need some
peace. I know that the best source for peace is in Our Savior, Jesus Christ. So
if any of you are looking for peace in your life turn to the Savior & His
Gospel to find it. I know you will. I am so grateful for this gospel & the
HUGE role it plays in my life. I know that Christ lives today. I know that as
we learn more about the Prince of Peace we too will find peace. I love you all
& wish you a Happy Easter 🐇🐥
xoxo, sister jensen
Us trying fu-fu = an adventure (you cut it with your
fingers, so that's why my hand looks weird) 😁
