Happy Thanksgiving

Wow, I can't believe it´s almost Thanksgiving. I will be a little different not having it.

Por fin. We have are own pension. Now we're building are desks, bookshelves, and todo eso.

This week I´ve used piano a lot more than usual. The primary thing was just a practice so I was needed because the main lady coudn´t do the practices.

On Saturday we had ward party. That was fun. There was a cake competition. Which was fun because we ate them afterwards. It was also a talent show. And a missionaries did a skit.  I was not part of it, which was OK conmigo.

I´m glad to hear that Emalie and Ashley are still playing piano.

To answer your question about mi compañro. He is 21 años, he is de Glendale SLC.

Yesterday for lunch, I had lamb, pork,and beef steak con veggies. All very good.

Well, I don´t have much more to write. I hope my letters are informative and I hope I can write better letters.

I love you and God love us more.

Love Elder Bransen Gene Jensen

PS. I don't know where your quote "I hate bleach because it killed my frog" comes from, but your quote today is:¨´my dad´s favorite holiday is St. Patrick´s Day, because he´s a goblin¨ bueno suerte.
PSS i have some photos of the old pench and new, but
PSSS. Tell Nate to write pro favor.

It's good to be busy

Como estáis vosotros.

This last week was a little stressful. And this week will be stressful, because on Saturday I´m playing songs for some primary thing, so I have to practice, and find time to do so. On Sunday I´m teaching the lesson in Gospel principles (in Spanish). All in addition to normal missionary work. But it will be great because the Lord will help me, and it´s good to be busy.

Actually not having anything is stressful as a missionary. Let me tell you what some days are like, during siesta (nap time). It´s basically from lunch to 4:00 or 6:00. If we don´t have lesson or people to go to, it´s not fun. We´ll walk in what appears to be a ghost town. We´ll clap... no answer. We joke by saying that everyone is dead.

It´s hard to set up citas(appointment), because we´ll ask when a good time for us to come back. and they´ll say: come back whenever just not right now. It hard to meet our key investigators, because they're hija (sick), and they have been going to the hospital. Satan work hard to prevent people from hearing the gospel, but we know who will win in the end and those who want to hear the gospel and change their lives will get the gran opportunity to do so.

Yes, I did hear about the typhoon that hit the Philippines. And the miracle of the missionaries.

It sounds like you guys are having a hard time as well. With problems with the washer and car and college and my bedroom. Glad to hear that you're managing, and someone had come to help you, and you went to help someone else. It's cool how we all help people with their needs and problems.

Thanks for all you do I love you so much, and God love us so much more.

Love, Elder Bransen Jensen, tu hijo.

PS your quote "Is Sunday Thursday?" is from G-pa Jensen. The quote para ti is: ´´What I´m going to do with all these corndogs!!´´ bueno suerte

God works in mysterious ways.

You guys are awesome. I´m glad to hear you are still able to have fun without me.Jaja( this how you do haha in spanish, no joke). It sounds like you had a good time at grandma´s and grandpa´s. Probably because Nate was there. Jaja.

It sounds like you're busy with church stuff, that's pretty neat, and it´s cool that mom got a new calling. That meeting you had is quite applicable to missionary work tanbien.
 
So this morning I had a meaningful study. I read the BOM where Moroni said he had weakness in writing. I can relate a lot to Moroni in that sense. As you clearly see; I place miss word, and misspoll words, Jaja. Reading that part really helped me grow and feel God´s love. Ether 12:23-27. Right now I have a weakness in writing and speaking. but esta bien.

Sorry for not taking photos, i´m afraid of taking it out to are area, in case it gets stolen. Because we do run into drunk guys just about every week. It´s kind of funny to think about it. We say the same thing to drunk guys as some people used to say to dad and me when we would go do fast offerings:´´no, we don´t have anything (for you)´´. One time a drunk guy shooed us away from one of are investigators house. Which work out just fine, because we went and found someone else, and came back. God works in mysterious ways.

Anyway, our two prime investigators, have now both accepted the invitation to be married and baptized. They are very special, they truly follow their hearts. I´m sure some day they will get married in the temple. You don't know how awesome this is as a missionary to find someone like this...whoohoo.
 
To answer a few questions. We're in a city, the area where we work is kind of sacky and a lot of the houses are illegal, meaning someone will find a spot and build a house on it. It´s also next to a dump, and the prison, pretty cool hu. but it´s not all that bad as it sounds, there are some good houses. It is a arid place, more or less.
 
Thanks for all you do. Love you mucho. You are awesome.
 
God loves you
Love your son, brother, cousin, and friend

Ps. your quote "I pray that no farm or accident falls upon us, and bless the people who live on the streets don't get hit by a car" is from Emaile. Your quote is:´´oh you got a buggy in your house!!´´.

The Lord is trying to teach us

Thanks for your letter and your advice, and all is well.
I loved Ashley´s letter, it was touching.

Some things we thought about Argentina are not all true. For the most part we do get feed well, sometimes pass the brim, but sometimes we have to be more considerate depending on who is feeding us. Some families make great sacrifices to feed the Elders, God bless them.
 
This week was not all that great. I´ll explain: on Tuesday my companion hurt or sprained his ankle so Wednesday we were required to stay in all day. Then on Saturday I had something wrong with me, headache, and feeling pretty bad.  In fact I had to stay inside all day again. Then a migraine on Sunday, but I was OK in few hours, and went out to work. So it´s not fun being sick or hurt, because you can't work and that does not feel good either, you get kind of antsy. Now I´m todo bien. I think the Lord is trying to teach us.
 
On Friday we gave a blessing to one of are investigators, Maridith, for her health. It was a cool experience. Then the next day I received a blessing from my companion.(because I was sick). He said, something comforting, that wherever the Lord has me go or do is for a reason.
 
You can tell everyone that I´m doing fine, and tell them thank for their concerns. And send them my love.
 
Thank you. Love you.
 
Love, Elder Bransen Gene Jensen.
 
ps. Your quote "your dad is weird but he is still awesome" must be from Ashley. Your Quote:" Look its a crane, it's crane" "that´s not a crane, that´s a blue heron"
