Week Three

Hellloooo, soo now in the MTC we have two invesgators and that is going pretty well. I can talk with and understand my investigators but still don't know real not church words. The temple is closed for the rest of my MTC stay so I have like 4 extra hours on my P day now. Today I am heading up to Salt Lake to get visa stuff done. I have 3 Sundays left here, but this Sunday there will be new zone leaders and district leaders so I might become one of those. We get to see an apostle speak onThanksgiving and have like some special program all day. Thanks for the packages! Will you be sending my Christmas stuff while I am in the MTC? I hope you can find the songs I requested. Umm how was thanksgiving? Tell the family I say hola, Is everything good at home? The eye drops you sent are awesome, they make your eyes feel like they are frozen so we often have our ZLs take then when the come and visit and that is always super funny. All that is on my wish list for this week is a silver and a gold tie clip, all my ties are too short so I need those. Thanks for the letters and I hope you guys are doing good! 


Also sorry for asking for so much.... but a shoe horn should be nice :D

Second Week

So life is still good, me and my companion are getting along great and my district is awesome. Spanish is still coming and umm yeah. The food here is good but it destroys your digestive system, and so they now have us doing gym in these huge bubbles that are gyms on the inside, but so they have 0 oxygen in them and they have a higher air pressure than the outside world and so your ears explode when you walk in so that is fun. And let's seee we now have two invesgators to teach instead of 1. I enjoyed your family mission plan my district thought it was funny as well. My companion is awesome he is super funnny and thanks for the dear elders and packages. That tie is freaking sweet and pro tip more snacky instead of desert foods are preferred. We get plenty of desert/food here but P day and before bed snacks are the best. That would be cool. And for Christmas you should send me stuff here and I would like a CD player with nice but small speakers and some good cds, no lyrical stuff, but hymns are awesome. So cool hymn cds would be awesome and to specific songs I want are a sweet version of be still my soul and savior my redeemer( which isn't a hymn but I have faith in you). But so the mtc is still awesome, feeling the spirit 24/7 is awesome, and the Sunday and Tuesday devotionals are always awesome, hope you guys are doing well!
Love Elder Jensen
P.S all my pictures are from my camera, its super good! thank you! OH and so there are these eye drops call like cool/ice/frozen and I would like some of them if possible because I worry about my eyes sometimes with me wearing contacts all the time, but yeah bye!

First Week

So this was my first week at the MTC! or the CCM as we call it in Spanish. So I am on the new western MTC is very different from the main campus, everything is based around apartments. So I sleep in a apartment with my companion and the two other elders in my district and the our classroom is just on apartment room with 8 desks in it and a computer. It gets super hot in there but it isnt super bad. Spanish is hard but I can understand most things just cant speak very well. I have already had 4 lessons with my first investigator Eloy IN SPANISH, the first lesson went horrible but after that we got much better. My companion's name is Elder Rios, him as well as our entire district only have a small Spanish background. We have 4 Elders and 4 hermanas in our district, the other day was super hard on some of the hermanans and I gave one of them a blessing with the other elders. So every tuesday and sunday there are firesides/devotionals and some of the west campus gets to walk for like 20 min to go to main campus to see the talks live. So yesterday L. Tom Perry came and spoke which was pretty neat. Thanks for the Dear Elders and yeah I hope you guys are doing good! Annnddd the food is pretty good here, and all the juice you can drink which is awesome. My district is awesome and umm so if I could get a care package containing my blue and green blanket, maybe a purple tie and recharagable AA batteries and I think thats it...... but yeah that would be perfecto! And thanks for the birthday present! and Dear Elder snacks would be appericated every once in a while :D
Love 
Elder Jensen
