Great day at Church

From Joram's 12/29 emails:

Thanks again for the packages and the effort of making me feel like i was at home by sending me the same stuff i would always get and giving me a few decorations to put up. [Mom sent Joram a small Lego set, Captain Crunch cereal, PJs, and a Pez] Thanks a ton I love you so much. Sounds like things are going busy there as usual. Well i guess starting to get busy, same with us. Things have been really slow, but as soon as the Mexicans come back life will pick up again. We had 15 Hispanic people at church yesterday. AMAZING!!! A monster difference between that and the 2 when i got here. So the work is progressing amazingly and the lord is blessing us. We are getting ready to start a district, we just need a bit of time.

Sounds like the usual Utah, crazy weather, man what i wouldn't give for snow. I read a poem the other day that was the story of my life, it was called "if only", and it was all about not enjoying what you have until its gone and always looking forward to something in the present. It talks about when you are in the MTC you cant wait to get into the mission field, and then when you get out you wish you could go back to the MTC. I will send it next week. Anyway my point is that when it was cold I would wish it was hot, and when it is hot i would give anything for cold. Anyway my random stuff for the day.

We talked to P. yesterday and he told us some amazing stories. When he was in Mexico he was a member of the Zettas (Z's) a massive gang in Mexico that has hook ups all the way up the political system there. He was a smuggler that would bring Marijuana across the boarder to the United States. He was also a Coyote, which is the people that take people across the border. I asked him what made him look and find God. He told me that when he got caught and thrown in jail in Houston and lost his job and his wife, he decided to start a better life. So he moved here and started reading the bible. He has read it through, i think three times now. So a pretty amazing story. He got confirmed yesterday, so that was pretty amazing.
So thats all folks. I am pretty sure i will get transfered next week but you never know.
Thanks for the packages and the love.
Love Elder Jensen
