once home...whew!!)

Bienvenida Hermana Jensen!

Nos ha gustado mucho ver esta página mientras que estabas en la misión, seguro que a tí también te gusta mucho ver en lo que tus padres se han estado entreteniendo en tu ausencia: mantener esta página web. Que el Señor te bendiga y busca oportunidades de continuar hablando español, si no lo usas se te olvidará.

La madre de la Hermana López!!!

Stacey and Elder Hales
Stacey traveled home on the same flight with Elder and Sister Bednar
(An Apostolic Blessing from Elder Bednar given to the
MTC and North, South and West Missions in Buenos Aires)
I bless you with an increase of faith in Jesus Christ so
that you can act with faith and learn by this faith.
That you ask with faith and seek knowledge by faith.
This faith will be a safeguard for you, for your companions,
and for your families. Be true to this gift and blessing.
In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

And with President and Sister Snow as well !
