We are teaching a wizard

Thanks for writing me.

That is neat the Jamison is back and Alyssa is leaving. que tal. I send my hi back to Jet Johnson and all them, I love our ward.

I will tell you a little about Allen. It is a nicer looking city. Weekends people gather to the center and the parks. In general, in Argentina, mainly Neuquen and here, there are street performers, that juggle to get some money. Allen´s fruit would be the pear. There´re orchards of apple and pear all around. It is a common job to work in them.

The ward is small. but progressing.  There is an investigator, who is a great man, I am not sure how to describe him.  We did not visit him this week but still came to church, and likes our visits.  I don't think he understands anything, and my comp and I think he is a wizard. He could be Gandolf, Yoda, Qui Gon, a pirate, and.. yay.  Before I got here my comp and other missionary asked him what is Faith.  He said the birds, the grass, the wind.  We are going to work with him.  I believe he may have a sincere desire to be baptized, and do what's right.  I heard he has a interesting story.

Les amo
com amor Elder Bransen Jensen.

your quote "you have rat hands" is from Collin, yours is´´let´s do all the things you what to do.´´

We must love

Bueno,  My comp is form Murray, UT.and has 20 months in the mission.and he has big family.  Funny thing is that we get distracted easily, because of our personalities (goofiness).  I don't know why we got put together, jaja.. We work well together and we will build strong unity, I hope. I think we are going to help each other a lot.

The area is good. There are good members and a investigator, Silvana. She just needs to stop smoking to be baptized. We fasted for her Sunday. 

I have been a little sick with stuffy nose, and sore throat. I'm a lot better today, but a little sick still.

Thanks for your thoughts on listening and loving. I need to focus on that.

Thanks for your prayers I feel them, I am grateful for them.  

I am grateful for the mission, even though it is hard.

Sorry I don't have much to write.

Thanks for everything,

Elder Bransen Jensen

Changes and more changes

Yesterday (Monday) was transfers. Here is a funny story.  Saturday they told me that I was going to be transferred to Cultral Co, with Elder Mark. I was excited.  Monday I almost got on the bus late, but barely made it thanks to God, and help of missionaries...2 hours later, I arrive, but no one is in the terminal for a time, then they showed up and ask me who is my comp. I said Elder Mark. They stood surprised and asked "Did they not tell you about the changes?.." What changes? I asked... I went to call the Assistant to the President... then he calls, and then told me you should be in Allen, your comp is not Elder Mark.. ¿¿?? -  So they bought a ticket and I returned to Neuquen, 2 hours later, I still didn't know who is going to be my comp. Then in the terminal my new comp Elder Graves found me, and yay.  But there is a divine part to this story.  On my return to Neuquen, my seat was right next to an investigator from San Martín who was going to Plotier, who is not baptized yet. So we talked and she wanted to read a folleto of the Plan of  Salvacion. So who knows, God has plans. 
So I am here in Allen (pronounced "ashen") with Elder Graves who is from Merry.

Some changes in the mission is that that we only have 2 key indicators. Baptism. and church attendance. 

Super congrats to Nat and Joe. I have more people to meet when I get home. que tal. 

Good job Mom, and the missionary moms on your talks. Even if we are prepare, we still may feel unprepared.

I'm closer to end, but still have plenty of time. I want to take advantage of it.  I have faith that it will happen. It is weird, like Nate said, I see the light at the end, but I can't slow time and it is going to end. I have no power

Love you for your love your stories and spiritual thoughts. 
love you son bro cousin. nephew. etc.
Elder Bransen Gene Jensen.

PS your quote "that is so racist, oh never mind I was thinking way too deep" must be from Em, it sounds like her.  Your quote is. '' when I am bigger when I get angry I am going punch a pillow, and not my kids and wife.´´

A fun New Years Day

New Years Day Activity

New Years was fun.  We could sleep in, since it was another p-day. We had P-day in the church in Limai.  We ate sausage, played soccer, basketball, and had water fight.  I got a little sunburn, but I am better now I put on some aloevera.

Sounds like you had a good staycation. How fun that you could watch the Hobbit. 

Thanks for praying for our investigators, and also please pray for the health of my companion. He gets sick a lot due to the heat. We want to work a lot more. 

We were guided to a contact the other day. We arrived  just after they did, with their new-born baby. They said it was a blessing that we came. They were receptive, and we shared a little of the plan of salvation with them.  We left them for another day so they could enjoy their newborn.  They want us to come back.

We working with many to read the Book of Mormon this year.

Pray for Luis Reyes, and Pablo.

love you all so very much.
Love your son, bro, cousin. or even teddybear. Elder Bransen Jensen.

Your quote "I only dream about girls and every night it's a different girl" must be from my flirty brother Collin..   Your is ``I have always been 40 years younger then my dad.`
