уште една недела... March 20, 2023

Добра вечер мои пријатели 
So as my time winds down here as a missionary, I've been having a couple of thoughts about what my mission has meant to me and the impact it has made in my life. 
But before I get to all of that !! Here are some beautiful pictures of Ohrid. No wonder out of all 5 countries, this is our mission president's favorite place in our whole mission.

I am so so grateful I accepted the call to serve. This has been the wildest year and a half of my life and absolutely shattered any perceptions I had of what a mission was like. The choice for me to serve was not the easiest thing for me to make, and even in the MTC I was very frustrated that God had asked me to do this. I remember just wondering why I was the one God needed to serve. This week, amongst many other experiences I have had since that initial question, I received a little more of an answer of why I needed to serve. 
In district council we read this scripture: 
"And now behold, as they never had hitherto been a disadvantage to the Nephites, they became now at this period of time also a great support."
Looking back on the choice to serve or not, I know I wouldn't have been a hinderance to the Lord's work if I had chosen not to serve. But I am so so eternally grateful that I got to instead be a support. I love Macedonia. I love these members. And I love the Lord. What a blessing it has been to sacrifice everything I can to serve Him.
Со љубов,
Сестра Џенсен

  zdravo !!! This has been yet another wild week. I've been up in Skopje, the capital, for most of the week actually with zone conference and different meetings up here and for a zone pday. Anywho this email is going to be more of a picture book so enjoy because I have literally 1000000 pictures and wanted to share them with the class: last pday we went to Sveti Jovan which is a mega famous church in Macedonia. It's right in Ohrid and is najubavo!!!! here's a cute little illegal pic of the inside. Way smaller than I thought it would be tbh.  now onto the delicious food from this week..... huge announcement... I ate tomatoes and I didn't die from my utter disdain. All the produce is insanely delicious here and they were actually fine. here's shopska salad (onions, cucumbers, tomatoes, and this cheese that is kinda like feta but not and more salty LITERALLY MY FAV THING). it's sooooo good and I've already had it twice this week because it's my favorite. bu...

  Zdravo !! This week we went to Albania for zone conference ! We had kinda a crazy time getting there and back because we realized right as we were leaving that my international driving had expired with my residency card that I just had renewed. Sooo that was an adventure but we made it eventually.  Featuring Sis Ch and I as the only sister's in our zone:((( Then this beautiful sunset on the way back featuring Ohrid Lake !! Then the car troubles continued this week... We got to our car and the battery was completely dead... so enjoy this montage of us getting it figured out  and finally us back on the town with our car working again ! here are some pics from a couple lessons with our members this week:) now enjoy some pics of Sis Ch and I pov: you're trying to figure out if this man is doing the splits or holding on to a hand railing where there are germs.
