I feel so blessed to be doing this work

It sounded like Yellowstone was fun. I like that place. And I am glad your were not swallowed up by a fireball. Glad you're back home safe.

Well I really love working in the vineyard. This Friday we were contacting and met Rorigo, and Itati. They invited us in to talk, and we taught, then invited them to church, they accepted, we went to their house, they came to church, and in class he said how he is willing to change his life, and listen to word of God. My companion and I looked each other with awe and a smile. They is are fastest progressing investigators, and the only ones to go to church so far.

Well yesterday we were going to some appointments, and while walking, this lady started saying something, and was moving her hand, and was basically saying to get away devils or something like that. I thought it was a pretty funny.

It´s always best when working when the Lord is there, and he´ll help us find or be found. There´s about 3-4 people who have called upon us to come and share.

I feel so blessed to be doing this work and it´s such a privilege, and to learn things and learn to love, and have hope towards others. And the spirit is stong with us.
I will answer some of your question next week when I have more time. Yes. There is Halloween, and I have eaten pasta many time, and tasty beef.
I love you, and God loves you.
Love Elder Bransen Gene Jensen.

PS: Your quote is "that work out nicely" Ciao.

I'm so happy to be here for the Lord

There´s a lot that happened this week. I´m not really sure how to compose everything into words, but I´ll try.
 
On monday after emailing we got contacted by someone, he told us to come, we went. At first he thought we were cops or spys. After a while he calmed down we shared a message, and we referred the other missionaries beacuse he was in their area. It´s neat how the Lord can put two sets of people in the right place and right time, and without them knowing. We've been contacting and actually found more people than I thought we would contacting. The spirit can guide. We were guided in ways you might not realized, even now I´m not sure how we have the people we have. There was another day where we were walking in this neighborhood (which is also basically in our area, and in some ways is a little scary, but I feel protected and blessed.) Anyway, we were walking, and a man and his friend, one of them called us over, asked us the usual question. We shared, they seemed very open, and we gave them an LdM (Book of Mormon) and folleta (pamphlet).
During the week we clapped at the door of Maridith, an older lady, and she let us in. She shared a little bit of her hard life she has had. We explained the our purpose and talked back and forth and come to find out she has had a Libro de Mormón for 30 years. (We also explained  the fact that I´m a new missionary as we usually do when we get in). Anyway the spirit was so strong in her house. There is also some other people who are ready that we have met.
 
I really want to work hard and do my best. Sometimes working hard and doing your best is hard to do, but it´s all worth it. I´m so happy to be here for the Lord, and I hope I do my very best to please Him every day
 
I wish I could write mas. Glad you had fun at yellowstone.
love
Elder Jensen. Bransen

It's exciting to be part of this missionary wave

I like it here. It is exciting to be part of this missionary wave.  Our presidente and his wife, and the senior couple have said how excited and grateful that we are here.

I have a great companion, his is a good trainer. To anwser your question about him, he is from SL . He has been here for about 1 and half years. His name is Elder Ingerson (probably totally mis-spelled.)

To answer your question. We took a plane to Neuquen (the pics you saw are at that airport). I am not really going through any major cultural shock. I'm assigned to an area call Roca. I like the people, and generally warm around here. I really like the members. In some ways I can see how my personallity fits in. I am really grateful that I can feel the spirit more. There are so many things to write about, that I don't know what to write about. The food so far is good, and people are more hugging type.

I got to, and had to share my testimony on Sunday,(in spanish) The members are really understanding about the language barrier. The language is better, but ya you know how it is.

There is spiritual things that happen here that I learn, but not sure how to tell you.

Mom shared some stuff from Nate's talk. l like it. Tell him to write me.

Thanks for your letters.

Te amo

ama Elder Jensen

PS I guessing the quote is from Ashly or Collin. Your quote is "The water out here make you loose''

PS It is a little hare to use a spanish keybord, and have the spellcheck set for spanish words. So sorry if anything is misspolled haha.

I loved conference!

MTC District
 
Elders Josh Foxworth & Jensen
 
Well I don't even know where to start it's been such an exciting week. I'll start off by saying I loved conference; as a missionary you just inhale conference. I really liked the first session.  There's much more I could talk about. It's one of the best things yet.

Well you'll be excited to know that we received are travel plans to Argentina!! I guess we have things squared away.  Half our District left this morning, and the rest of us who are going to Neuquen, are leaving wed., 4:30 am. Estoy adimodo!!

We went to main campus a lot this week. We went on thur., for in field training, and at dinner I saw Elder Josh Foxworth, and I then saw him 2-3 times during conference. I also saw Elder Greg Peterson, and Elder Johnathon White (from school). It was pretty awesome. But I still prefer west campus.


It's kind of hard to picture Nate with black hair, but glad his back. It strange that he said that his mission kind of seems like a dream.

Thanks for informing me about the outside world. The only thing I guess we can do is pray for are Federal Government.

I wish I could relate all the spiritual things I'm learning, I'll share specific ones, but right now there's so many.

vosotros amo

ama Elder Bransen Gene Jensen

ps. your guess es correcto. I don't know who or what your quote is from. Your quote :'' We have no good food, no running water, no TV,... It just like prison, but prison, has all those things."
