Here's a note to me from Sister Jensen's companion, Sister Torres. She only speaks spanish, so it's written totally in spanish. My husband helped me translate it, and, basically, it's a note of support, love and comfort to the Mission President's wife, from one woman to another. She said that because my husband receives about 150 letters from missionaries every week, she wanted to send one to me. How sweet of Sister Torres to think of me! (I've shared some hugs, "girl talk", and fun times already with Sister Torres and her companions, Sister Jensen, and Sister Petty, while they were waiting for their interviews with President Benton, plus, both Sister Torres and Sister Jensen were sick last week, so, I tried to fill in for their mothers in the "nurturing" department.
For those of you who know spanish, or want to learn it, here's what Sister Torres said in her note: (You'll see where she has a sense of humor. That's what makes her so sweet and fun at the same time!)

No imagino como sera que su esposo reciba aproximadamente 150 cartas y usted ninguna. Asi que esta es para usted. La escribo en espanol para que practique y tambien porque yo nose ingles.
Le escribo para agradecer por sup preocupacion hacia nosotras este fin de semana. En especial por la preocupacion hacia mi companero. En aguellos momentos de desafio es cuando mas necesitiamos y extranamos a nuestras madres, pero no estan y bueno, pero esta usted con su esposo. Aungue no crea pero nosotras les vemos como nuestros Padres, muchas gracias por su amor y sacrificio se que estan lejos de su vida y sus familias. Pero gracias a su gran sacrificio nosotros somos bendecidos. Hna Benton siento mucho carino y admiracion por usted y espero que algun dia podamos hablar bien y sin interpretes. Jeje! Pero muchas gracias. Porque siempre sentimos su amor y el de su esposo, nuestro querido Presidente.
Les Amamos Mucho!
Con Carino
Hna. Torres
