Elder Jensen redeems himself with SNAIL MAIL

After today's email was a bit bland, save a brief faith-promoting story about prayer......we were blessed to receive the following snail mail letter from Elder Jensen today. And the letter arrived just in time for Family Home Evening!! Lucky boy! He is back in his mom's good books tonight.   Here's the letter!

Hey Guys!
So I guess Mom and Dad still wanted me to be able to participate in FHE even though I am like 2000 miles away....Hahah
Anyway a little birdy told me that this week's topic is on proper and safe internet use.  All I can really say on that is this: It has been designed for us to do good with it.  God wouldn't have allowed it's creation if it couldn't be used for good.  For us to use it safely we have to want to do good with it. If all we want is to not do bad, Satan will eventually tempt us into doing something wrong, but if we want to do what is right he cannot have any power over us.  As a missionary I see that a lot of people want to stop being bad, but aren't willing to start doing good!   In our last zone meeting, we talked about this.  So this is my commitment to you:

STOP doing something bad/not as good/could-do-something-better 

AND 

START doing something good/better/ or BEST!

Otherwise I am kinda outta touch with the technological world and don't really know what's going on

Love your big brother

Quick Week

Well we had a very fast week with two exchanges.

First exchange was in Rancho with the APs. I had a great day... but I want to stay in the desert.

I had a really cool miracle though. I lost my bike key after I had unlocked my bike ( yeah the AP's bike for some reason). Anyway the keys fel out of my pocket and we biked like a mile farther...  we started looking for them and couldn't find them... then Elder Bennion was like "what are we doing we haven't even prayed"... so we prayed and found them like a minute later... Power of prayer for you!

We had a pretty standard week... aside from two exchanges hahah.

Life is good... here is a picture from exchanges... And a food creation we made.

Love

Well it was a good week

Well it was a good week. Friday and Saturday were our most successful days but they, combined with Sunday, were also the most physically draining. Me and Elder Markham seem to have together contracted a terrible head cold... but I think we are getting over it finally.

 Friday we were able to teach an investigator that we haven't been able to see in a while. We set some expectations with her and asked if we could teach her whole family. She agreed but was very hesitant. We were also blessed with a new investigator on Friday. He lives with a semi-active family and previously has been set in his catholic background. However recently he has had his heart softened by some experiences with his kids. With a lot of faith and a little luck we should be able to help him come unto Christ.

On Saturday we were able to teach Brad again. It was an alright lesson. We just went over the first three lessons with him checking for understanding. He is retaining well, but he needs to gain a testimony of the Book of Mormon. We also were able to teach a man named Geonvanni. ( yeah I know that isn't how most people spell Giovanni) He is the husband of a member and a teacher at a local high school. We taught with two of his former students there and he was very receptive. He said the reason the church became appealing to him is because members continually came to visit his wife, even after a period of inactivity. He has a lot of potential!

Life is good and I am well. I hope y'all are doing well!

Love 

Elder Jensen
