See you Wednesday

I got a little time to write in the mission office.

Thanks for the news. It is sad to loose G-pa Gene.  I am grateful for the chance to go to his funeral, and pray.

I am really good emotionally.  I feel peaceful now about going home.  I had my interview with president today.  He encouraged me a lot.  I feel optimist about the future.  He gave good advice and gave me a lot of assurance. 

 

Love you.  See you soon.  Thanks for all you do, 

love
Elder Bransen Gene Jensen.

Don't cry for me Argentina

Well I hope you had a great week.  I hope your next one is too,

You're right, it is kind of weird to have one Sunday left.  I am grateful for the week I have to serve as a missionary.  It is good to be here.

Well this might be the last letter.  I'll be in Neuquen so probably a short one.  I am excited to see you guys.

I will pray for Grandpa. Love that man

Well Maria is great but just needs to come to church. so ya

We had a great noche de Barrio, (ward home eveing)   This week should be great.  We are going to do a lot a service this week. I hope to get some really prepared to teach before I leave.

I found some inpiration in Alma 17:9.    I realized the great need we have of the Lord.  I  love him and I hope to serve Him.   I will need His help.

see you in a week.

love Elder Bransen Jensen.

suerte os amo

I love being a missionary

What up Family dear.  Sounds like you have had fun. 

I hope G-pa Gene gets better. I am praying for him.

I hope Collin has fun at camp. I hope it's a good experience for him.

This week was a pretty good week, We found Maria, whose husband died a year ago.  We shared the Plan of Salvation, mainly truth of the spirit world and purpose of life.  She cried, and said thanks for bringing news about her husband.  She is a good lady. We are going to visit her today. She also accepted a baptismal date, but will have to move it.  We also found many other potentials.  

Can't wait to just converse with you.

I truly want to have the best time, do my best, be my best. I know the Lord will help me.

I want to fight like a boxer in the last 2 min. or sprint at the end of the race. or a karate student fighter for his black belt.

I am happy and I have intentions to be a missionary after the mission, to read and study and receive revelation, and work on my weaknesses.

I love the mission. Better said is that I love being a missionary and disciple of My Lord Savior Jesus Christ and son of my beloved Father In Heaven, I love Him and the Son He sent.

Love you thanks for everything.

Love your son Elder Bransen Jensen.

Desire to finish like a grande finale

Wow Draper Days, how cool.   I miss that, but that's alright. Thanks for the update.  

Em should have some fun at Bear Lake.

Thanks for the advice, I'll try to plant as many seeds as I can.

This week we started teaching the Poblete family. We have gone over for their son because he is a newly baptized member and has not come in a long time. This week we want to invite his parents to be baptized.  We had a great visit we them.  They have had contact with the church (mainly the missionaries and members as well) for some time. They are very supportive of their son going to church. They want to take the step of baptism but they not married.  He has to get his divorce form legalized, but it costs about 40,000 or 60,000 peso or 4- 6,000 dollars. Which is funny because Argentina does not have very many legal requirements or illegal stuff. But to get divorced is costly.

We put a baptismal date with Luas, a chico we have been teaching for awhile, who has been in contact with the missionaries for some time.

I like being bold in our teaching.  It helps, We are being real focused in inviting everyone to be baptized and go to church.  I like this new focus.  It helps me be more focused and brave. It is inspiring.

I desire to finish with everything I have, like the final explosion, grand finale, and to leave many with a lot more of Jesus Christ in their lives.

Love you. have great semana.   Love you so much God loves you more.

Love Elder Bransen Gene Jensen.

New Mission President

We met the new mission president. He is super cool, and has a unique spirit, and lots a faith, and friendliness and trust towards the missionaries. I'm kind of jealous for the missionaries that have lots of time left.  It was good to meet him anyways.  He kind of reminds me of a cartoon,  like the genie on Aladdin.

Friday we a FHE and it went great. We played jeopardy and I was the host. The members got pretty competitive.   It is kind of funny what the final jeopardy question was, "what are the names of those dear missionaries before you"  By this time we had taken off our name tags without them knowing.  I was actually impressed that some even knew first names or the first letter of the first name.   

Saturday we watched Meet to Mormons in the church.  It was a big missionary effort, and we invited a ton.  We should have new people to teach today.

Right now we are teaching no one but we have some references to visit today.  We are teaching every now and then a chico whose parents don't want to give consent yet. 

well see you later. love you guys a lot.

love Elder Bransen Jensen.

ps your quote "I don't care if my future husband is good looking as long as he is smart, intelligent, nice, and has lots of money and lets me have lots of fountains in my backyard." must be from Ashley. I don't know who else would say that. the week´s quote 

´´only a true friend would be naturally honest.´´

Happy 4th of July

Well some things that happened.  The 4th we had to stay inside for the Argentina Chile game. So we stayed with the other Elders and we hanged out.  It was nice.  We then sang the national anthem.
    

We found Luis the drunk guy again. It seems that there are more encounters with him and the sister missionaries than with us. We went to his house which had 3 more friends like him there. Kind of fun, funny and frustrating to teach.  They are kind of like little kids.  I can tell you more about it. latter. 

Sunday was pretty depressing day. Nothing happened. I felt sad after contacting this person that rejected us.  There was something I was supposed to have said,  but I know now.

I love the mission. I hope and know I can have the best time now in my mission.

We are going to meet the new president this week, I am kind of excited.

So that's all.

Thanks for your prayers and fasting.

love you

love Elder Bransen Jensen.

ps your quote "I got worms" is from dumb and dumber, this week is: the water out here makes you loose.´´ suerte

Noche de Barrio

Well, our President is leaving this week. and they will be speaking the  12 of July 10124 South 1300 West SOUTH JORDAN, UTAH 84095. 9:00am if you like to go and listen and meet them. That would be cool.

So the focus of from the brethren is sacrament reverence?  That is great.  I've learned a lot about the sacrament in the mission.

Well this week we had some success with the noche de Barrio, or the FHE with the ward.  Quite a few came and we made homemade ice cream in bags. We're going to do it every week.    

Our investigators disappeared, so we are praying for new ones. I fasted and had the impression to contact a street we have not really contacted. So I will tell you how it goes. 

.  

Love you very much.

love your son Elder Bransen Jensen.

ps Your quote I have no Idea. Your quote for this week is.´´how much does he get payed for doing that´´
