A crazy week!

Weeeeeeellllllll this was one heck of a week!

So we had a mission conference this week.... and a member of the Seventy came to speak with us. Elder Falabella. 

So because of my new responsibilities, most of my week was filled with counseling with a Seventy on how to hasten the work of salvation in this mission. It was quit an experience.

We serve in one of the zones where the mission conference was held we had to be early to help set up chairs... then we had a Desert leadership meeting... then the Mission Conference for like 6 or 7 hours....then we had a coordination meeting with our ward mission leader. Then Friday we had another meeting for all the zone leaders and sister training leaders in the mission. We left the desert to head down the hill at 1 and we didn't get back till 9. the meeting started a half hour late... and ran an extra hour and a half. So we were driving for like forever it seemed.

We did however manage to proselytize a little this week. We have a super solid investigator, He is a young man that live with and is cousins with an awesome member family in the ward. He has had a rough start on life but he has made some awesome decisions and is choosing to follow God now!

He will probably be baptized really soon!

Oh and we had a crazy awesome thunder storm this week... i got a cool video... but i can't take the frames with the lightning in them out to send to you! Thunderstorms never happen here!

Love,

Elder Jensen

Transfer Day

Well it seems like I send this email like every other month. But it was transfers today and I got transferred.  I am now serving in a city called AppleValley.

Elder Jensen and Elder Topham, the elder he's been training

I was really sad to say good bye to Silverlakes. Especially because I finally felt like I knew what I was doing with training. And I felt like there was unfinished business in that ward for me. But its all good. I am excited to still be in the desert. it is almost a guarantee that I will serve more than half of my mission up here now.

Not sure what else to say.

The last week was really busy. We found 3 new investigators, but I won't ever see them again :(

Life is good and busy.

Darion is well. With his new job, he says it will be hard to find a church to go to, because he can't leave the premises.

PS. I am a ZL in AppleValley... I must have messed up training so pres. wants to keep a closer eye on me. hahaha just kidding.

10 months......!

Well this week was wired... i got to go on exchanges in a Tongan ward... so much food!!!!!!! And it was great to teach with a experienced elder again, not that I don't love training... it's just hard sometimes hahah

We met with our investigators a few times this week. Andrew is doing great! But we will have to pass him off. :(

Angel is also doing great, but we need to get him to read the Book of Mormon.

Darion is up in Sacramento area... some little town half way to Lake Tahoe. It was really sad to have to say goodbye to him. :( he asked us to say a prayer with his family every once in a while. so  our adventures with his family are not yet finished!

So not a lot of time this week!

Love

Elder Jensen
