Conference!!!!!!!!!

So this week was awesome... mostly because of General Conference. To the few people who aren't members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, General Conference is where we get to hear from the leaders of our church, Modern Abraham's and Moses's and Peter, James and John's! Literally learning what God has to say about the world at this time! Advice and commandments for now and not 2 or more thousand years ago. Not that scripture isn't important, but the world is always changing, so we need always need God's help.

Anyway. conference was amazing if you didn't get chance to watch it I would extremely encourage it. This week was good.

Tuesday we were able to teach alot of people. We taught Douglas ( I think I have mentioned him before) he is a super cool old southern guy... ok he is not that old ... but he is old. Anway... we asked him if he had read any of the book of mormon... and he was like "sorry guys I was only able to read up to chapter 10."  And we were just sitting there like... "its ok... most people don't read the first ten words." hahah so that was awesome! We also taught Brad... he is doing well not much new there.

Wednesday was our only full day to proselytize.... and we were only able to teach one lesson :(

Thursday- we had missionary leadership council... basically like 6 hours of figuring out what the mission needs to do better... kinda long and dry and taking up a whole day because we have to go to the mission office for it.

Friday- planning the Zone meeting we have to give tomorrow.

 We did teach a few recent converts so that was good.

Saturday- Conference!!!!!! and more Conference!!

Sunday- More conference!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pretty much awesome

today we hiked a mountain and that is what the pictures are of!

PS. 

my verse is Mosiah 27:36. seemed appropriate for my current vocation.

I don't know what to tell you/ grandpa... where I am very few of my investigators actually work... so we can visit them whenever... and coincidentally not very many people work so we can just try people. However with a huge emphasis on families...I guess I would say that contacting at a park would be the best option. Typically it is a lot of moms which is perfect! You can find families... and then set up return appt for the evening when everyone is home.

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

Elder Jensen
