WHOOOO!!

Yikers Scoobey! What a week!

So my life is just always busy now. And I spend most of my time on exchanges!

Tuesday regular day.... met with President. Talked about how transfers went and stuff like that. Then begin exchanges.

Wednesday - I spent in Chino Hills and Pomona. So I thought that Rancho was a Rich area... Chino Hills is a rich area! (I don't like it) But Pomona is more my speed... kinda ghetto( nothing like the desert though). I had a great day with Elder Memmott. We a had a cool experience where a couple appointments fell through so we decided to go tracting. YSA member we had with us was kinda like "you wanna tract here in Pomona?.....but its ghetto, ain't nobody going to talk with us." I left it in Elder Memmott's hands because it was his area and he said "Yes this is where we need to be. This is where God wants us to be." and we found 3 potential investigators in like 40 minutes... Probably a record for the Chino Zone! hahah so a lesson was learned: tract where God tells you too!

Thursday I Spent back up in the Desert ( my second native land) with Elder Kleinman. We did some service in the am and the afternoon was filled with regular missionary stuff like teaching.

Friday - just planing and coordinating

Saturday - okay you know those missionaries that you hear about that do amazing things and work literal miracles?! yeah they actually exist! So all mothers that can read this, please try to raise your sons and daughters to be like them! You know those other missionaries that you hear weird stories about? yeah they exist too, don't raise your sons to be like that hahahah

We got to see a couple people that we usually don't and got some appointments set up in the Tongan ward, which is a lot harder to do than you would think. When there is a birthday...the whole ward, less active and active, goes to the party... so if there is a birthday party in a city like an hour away that is where everyone is. hahah

Sunday - Church and a Tongan dinner... kinda like a football game with 4 quarters and an overtime... just glad that it's not like hockey with sudden death at the end!

Ofa Atu!

Rancho!

Malo e Lelei! Fefe Hake?

Sorry for the lack of email last week.... but things were crazy here!!!

I am slowly getting settled in to the life here in Rancho... but it is honestly kinda weird. Between serving in a Tongan ward and in a very well-to-do family ward things are a lot different from my much preferred and previous Desert life... but the valley could be nice too I guess! 

This week was full of fun things to do! We had lots of errands and organization that we needed to do. Last Monday helping get the missionaries to their new areas, and the old ones out of the mission, and the new ones in to the mission! It was a busy start to the week... and it just continued. Then on Saturday I got to go on exchanges with Elder Redhair, who I came out with. I had a wonderful day with him over in Upland and we were able to teach a lot for one day! It was a great day! 

In the Tongan ward we have one investigator who is on track for baptism. He is a young man who is very close friends with the Bishops family which is great! He should be baptized on the 30th! 

I hope all is well up in the North!

Otu Afu!

New Day

Sorry this is a weird time for me to email... but... I do get to email YAY!

Elder Millano and Elder Jensen

So I was in a trio for a week. and then Elder Findlay went home to Kaysville.   Elder Smith stayed in Apple Valley I moved down to Rancho a week early. Now it is just me and Elder Millano (he is from Rose Park). We cover the Cucamonga Tongan ward and the Victoria ward  (so that means I get to learn Tongan! I can already bless the food... thats about it though hahaha). I will be here for the foreseeable future... possibly until the end of my mission.

That is super cool to hear about the Bishopric change! Has it really been 5 years for Bishop Nelson??! YIKES!

That's awesome that the girls won and that the 3on3 went so well!

Well I probably will be emailing shorter than previously for a couple reasons, but never fear I am well and happy and fine! 

Love,

Elder Jensen
