The Mojave Flows!

So to explain the title...

There is this river that runs north right through the middle of the entire desert and like for ever ago it used to flow above ground.... but now it is just below ground (kinda like on Sahara). But because it has been relatively cool and really wet it is now flowing above ground. First time I have ever seen it do that... so it has been alt least 2 years since it has... probably more like 15 hahaha.

This week was another busy but good week. We set a date with Kenny. It is a little farther than expected but it is the day he wanted. He is going for March 16. Its his brother's birthday and his brother passed away like 6 months ago so it has some personal meaning for him. He has been to church the last three weeks in a row and is determined to be baptized!  We have high hopes for him and his wife, Sabrina. She is  a member and at our last lesson with them she talked tons about how she wants to get to the temple. And then at church we saw her paying her tithing.

We also found a new investigator in the YSA ward. His name is Tyler. He was a former, but he said that he would be willing to meet with us again.

Also meet with Mario and Liz on Sunday night. They are really struggling in life. they have no purpose in life other than to provide for their son. We explain what God intended for us, but they couldn't see how it would bless them so that was really saddening and frustrating.

On Friday we had Zone conference. it was kinda a follow up to the broadcast we had last week. President asked me and Elder Smith to train on something our Zone needed. So we talked about how we get people to progress. It was pretty good. President thanked us a bunch after so I couldn't have been too bad.

On Sunday we had church...der.... Both Kenny and Taylor were at church. After church we had dinner and then later a lesson with Taylor... the whole YSA Elders Quorum presidency came ( kinda over kill but oh well!!) It worked.  They were super bold with him. Me and Elder Smith hardly had to say anything. It was so cool!

Love you lots!!

[I received a text from a lady in California with these photos and the text read, "Hello Jensen family...ask your son about Sucking the guts out of grasshoppers! He's great!" So I asked him and this was his response]

 That was at our bishops house. So you take these cookies called tim tams (some people call it sucking the guts out of grasshoppers some people call it a tim tam slam). Then make hot chocolate. Bite two bits off of opposite corners then use it as a straw to drink the hot chocolate. Be careful.... it will melt and fall apart. So you gotta be fast and get it in you mouth quick.

Also peanut butter filled cookies are good for it as well.
