Email delayed due to Carnival

Well guess what family. It could not write for 2 days because the cyber was closed in the morning for the carnival.

Transfers are next week. I believe Elder Graves will stay.   I cant believe a year and a half soon. It made me sad to think that. It feels weird.  All the sister that came with me will be home in a week.

Not to freak you out. Well I'm ok now, but p day I popped my knee socket out and in. It is fine now. The mission nurse says to put ice and take ibprofen and band it up.

Happy birthday to Collin

I am glad to hear that you went mountain biking.

There is huge possibility that Silvana gets baptized this Saturday!! She just needs to change the day of her surgery to Monday.   So let us pray that it will function out.  

we found new investigators on divisions yesterday.  I had a feeling that we needed to look for a contact. long story short. We knocked on a gate, and we introduced ourselves. They ask us to pass. We got to know them and they  are very religious advents, they are a very nice recently married old couple.

Les amo. confíen en Dios, y crean en los buenos cosa que vendrán.   

love Elder Bransen Jensen

your quote is form  Bella y la Bestia. and Hank Smith. your is ``so you're telling me I still got a chance.``  I think we already used it.  

We have good investigators

This week we talked with Juan. He is super prepared in many ways. We shared the plan of Salvation with him. He really liked it and said it answered some of his questions. He wanted to know if there was a hell or not. There are many questions, beliefs and things that he said, that shows that he is prepared. He talks a lot. We had a little chat for 3 hours no mas. We are going to visit him Sat. Also there are many signs that he has charity. The only concern we have is that he goes to another church, but is wants the truth.

Keep praying for Silvana, and her kids, who want to be baptized too. She just needs to quit smoking. She is great, she has a testimony and everything.

Carlos, the gray, is still weird and does not want us to visit him, but came to church. I am sure he feels the spirit.  We'll see. He is nice.

The mission life is good. It is a good place to be a missionary. It is frustrating and rewarding. Look on the bright side, we have good investigators.

thanks  love you all 

love Elder Bransen Gene Jensen.

Your quote is form the Hobbit.  Mine for you is ``don't feed wild horses burritos``

Remember to remember God

I have something weird to tell you. Carlos our wizard came to church yesterday even though this week we tried going to his house 2 times, but he acted as if he wanted nothing to do with us and then told us to come another day, but then showed up at sacrament meeting. If you are not fast enough he will leave church without saying bye.  If he did not smoke, he would be baptized by now. Anyway I am thrilled that he comes to church.  I am sure it is a blessing for him.

This week there was man who called us over so we could share a ´´word´´ with him, and his wife. We shared the restoration. Probably not what he expected, but it is the best ´´palabra´´ we had.  They seem like promising people.  We found an old investigator, who almost read the The Book of Mormon. and believes it is true.   And there was another guy we found from looking for another house. He seem prepared.  The only problem is he could talk and talk, and we might not get a turn. jaja  What can you do? jjaja We are going to think of some strategies, like watching videos.  

Congrats to EM for her YW medallion. yaay and her car.

Thank you for your prayers and love, and for who you are.

Always  remember to remember God.

love you God loves you more

love Elder Bransen Jensen  

PS.your quote "No, I'm happy, I'm just mad" must be from Emalie or mom,   Your is. ´´you are one pathetic loser, no offence... none taken´´

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.´´

Suerte

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.`
