Christmas in Hesperia

(This one is a little out of order)

I am doing good doing great! Life here in hesperia will continue to move on! Transfers are today but me and elder robbins will not be going anywhere... i am finally getting my bike fixed... the moola that came with my sweater will be more than enough to cover that... plus the little bit that i still had. so i am good that way for now. christmas was fantastic and it was awesome to be able to see you guys! sounds like life was crazy busy with exciting events! wish i could be there but its all good! 

For Doozer Dane: Its is cold... ya know like maybe 0 degrees at night hahah. There is no snow and a lot of dirt. there are a lot of dogs that like to bark at us and chase us. i am learning some magic tricks too! when i get home i will have some awesome card tricks for you!

Thanx for all the goodies and stuff! christmas was almost like i remember... just an extreme shortage of snow and mexican food!

love elder jensen!

Hesperia District A

A kind group of sisters made these toques for the California missionaries.
Elder Jensen says he probably won't need to wear it until he gets home!

New Year's Life

So this has been a crazy week! I was without out a bike for a few days because it was being repaired so that meant we walked a lot more than.... ever. But that meant we had less time to fill and more time to talk with random people which is awesome! On new years eve they want us in at 6 so that we don't get hit or shot or mugged or idk what else by the crazies out at night so we went to bed early! An extra hour of sleep does wonders! The last few days have been slow but we recieved some names from our bishop of possible new move-ins. but all of the houses we went to no one was there, the house didn't exist, or the house was actually a car repair shop.... but it was at least something we could return and report on! So to fill our nights we have been meeting with active members and sharing a missionary message trying to spark the missionary spirit. One house we went to both of the parents are deaf so the family signs for them. I am learning a little sign language... but not enough yet to be useful. However it was amazing to see how even the the words aren't said the spirit of what is said is still there. I am pretty sure that the official language of the gospel should be sign language for that reason!

Hope that all is well back home!

love

PS. it has been way colder this last week but it is warming up again... it actually snowed enough to make a couple of snow balls.... gross..... but it was all gone by 1030 the next day...
