another email. wow. what a week.
twice I almost had a bit of an accident on my bicycle, once I felt my heart fall out of my butt because I was so scared, but I know I have guardian angels protecting me out here, because the worst injury I have gotten despite of everything is just a really swollen ankle. no worries on that:) between me and dad though, I'm sure they're getting sick of protecting jensens on two wheeled machines!!
this sunday was really really good. my last week in KK was general conference, so no sacrament, and then my first two weeks in Miri were also conference, so no sacrament. so last sunday was the first sunday in almost a month that I got to take it! geeze. I never ever realized how much of a difference it makes until this week. I'm very very grateful I finally got to take it! and now I get to take it every week again.
there is a senior sister here, sister lowe (although she isn't senior, she's 60 or something but is really like 40) and she is moving to a different part of the mission in a month, so her last month here she gets to live with us. I was a bit unsure of it at first, since I hadn't really met her, but she has turned out to be one of the biggest blessings I have received in Miri! she helps me a lot. a lot of encouragement and wisdom and we laugh allllll the time. plus she has made enchiladas and french toast already. woooweee!!!! it was so good! I forgot I was in malaysia for a second!
oh also really really fun, on sunday I was sitting in sunday school when a member walked up and asked if I could teach primary. of course, I jumped right up with a big smile on my face!!!! primary here is just one big room with all the kids, all ages. so I got them for two hours. we sang, we watched the joseph smith movie, they acted some parts out, we played a game with a bunch of pictures, and then soooo many of them took opportunities to stand and bare their sweet little testimonies!! it was adorable. I wish so bad I could teach primary every week! when I get home I will probably request that to be my calling again. I miss my kids.
I ate something really nasty again this week. jellyfish. it wasn't cooked, it was just raw I think. and cut into pieces. I tried really hard to chew it but I wasn't making any progress at all. so I swallowed it whole. pretty nasty. I wouldn't say I'm looking forward to ever eating that one again....
the progress here is going. trying to set some goals. get it to really start going again.
and that's about all I have! hopefully one of these weeks I'll start to have some really good stories again.
I love you all. pray for you always.
oh, and I got two letters from mom, one from dad, and one from tomas. there was a conference so they got to bring letters from KK to me. thank you for writing!!!!!!!!
