Live life to the fullest

P-day at Corbata Blanca 

Happy birthday Ashley.  You're growing up, but you will always be my little sister. whahahahahha. 

So I really like the insights on life callings.  I feel like that has kind of been my theme this week. I've been studying and focusing on having faith. I like this talk by Gene Cook BYU speech. It is really good, you should you look it up.  It is very applicable to me. I like it.  Live life to the fullest. 

El Hoyo is alright.  I sincerely feel that there are people waiting to receive the Gospel. I have faith that we with God can make people recognize that. I believe it has potential and it is really pretty, even more than San Martin. I took some pics.

thanks for everything, I love being a missionary. I love this work. it going to be something great.  I mean it.    

love you 

love Elder Bransen Jensen.

ps your quote "I don't want to go to Africa.  I don't want to eat cat heads" is from, Em.   your quote is `` I got a john Deere letter``

More about El Hoyo

Alright so I'll tell you some things about El Hoyo.  It is a small town.  I am the 5th missionary here. My comp says that the other missionaries have already contacted all the doors in town so I guess we're recontacting.  We found 2 investigators.  I met our other investigators finally.  It is the capital of fina furtas,or raspberry and blackberry.  There are members that live next to and harvest the fruit, so they tell us to take advantage of it. This kind a fruit is expensive in Argentina. Sometimes we go looking for houses that are far off, and it is kind of fun.  It is just us 2 in El Hoyo.  When I said fire I meant fire on the mountain, but it was put out yesterday.

My comp Elder Jensen, is from West Valley.  He wrestled and he is a good comp. He has a little more time in the mission than I. 

I like the tree trimming analogy and the Mormon message.  It is true I really need to trust the Lord.

Something  I found interesting in the Book of Mormon about Alma, Ammon, and other great prophet missionaries who did much.  As you read you find that their intentions were that the Lord might make them a tool to save some soul or few.  It shows their humble attitude.

love you all God love you more

love Elder Bransen Jensen.

Your quote "don't say alcohol, drink root beer" is from Collin, I don't remember last weeks quote

Emergency transfer to El Hoyo

I hope mom gets better.  I know that there is power in the priesthood blessing. I am sure it will all work out.

I like your story of the missionaries in our ward. It was a similar thing that happened to us and Sabastian. I hope to increase my faith in order to help more people.  This is the grand work of the Lord.  Just remember there are two word that always open doors. "push" and "pull" haha.

Sounds fun your skiing trip.

Well here is some new news.  I got an emergency transfer to El Hoyo (the hole), it is close to the Bolson and I am with Elder`Jensen, yay wierd. The 2nd day after transfers I get transferred. It was hard for me to leave Allen, but the Lord needs me here for something. It is pretty nice here.  We don't know why but there have been fires here in the last few days. I am excited to be here.  We do a lot walking, it is neat though.

Thanks for the support and love you give.

love you all very much. God loves more

love Elder Bransen Jensen.

Ps:  that quote does not sound a bit familiar but I guess it is from mom or Em. ??  Your quote this week is "It will all be worth is you'll see"  buena suerte.

I love the work of love and salvation

You guys are great. (would you consider the word guys slang,? )

I have no idea how I popped my knee.  All I did was step backward and PoP. It hurt bad and felt disgusting.  Right now I can almost walk up stairs.  I walk a good pace, and I can bend all the way now. whoohoo.  the nurse told me to take IB for the swelling and to ice and band it.  An investigator gave me sport cream to relax the muscle and that has helped a lot. 

So the area is pretty great. We have an investigator named Ariel. His wife is a member but is out of town, He recently moved there, He already has gone to church 3 times (enough to be baptized.).  He is super chill and capo and sincere. He just needs to get a testimony and listen to all the charla. It's been pretty hard to visit him. Time goes by fast.   

 

Silvana did not get baptized, but will. We talked it over and realized that it's better that she waits and gets more prepared, she still smokes a little, We must remember that baptism it not a right, it is a privilege. She is going to get surgery and is going be on bed rest for at least 15 days. Beside all that, she is really golden.

We visited a new person yesterday named Sabatian.  He told us about problems that he has and had. We mainly talked about the atonement, scriptures, testimonies, and suggestions. It was a spiritual lesson, One of the most spiritual experiences that I've experienced in my mission.  Today he told his member neighbor friend that he liked the visit and feels good.

I love the work of love and salvation. Heavenly Father and Jesus do so much for us. I love them as well the espirtu Santo.

love you all thanks for todo.

love Elder Bransen Jensen.

Your quote "I graduate next year, where has my life gone" must be from Em. I think I understand how she fells..

 Your quote is.'' dont you ever interupt me while I'm reading a book´´  buena suerte.

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´´
