Hello Mom
Well in all honesty not much has changed since i was here 3 months ago, only its 40 degrees hotter and there are less people to teach because there isn't any work here. It has been really difficult but we are still going along and just doing whatever, we have been trying to find a lot of new investigators because i didn't have any strong ones here, but we will see how it goes. So far it is going well, the days just fly by because it takes an hour just to get anywhere so there is never enough time to do what needs to be done and i feel like a ton of time is just being wasted. We spend probably 4 hours a day on the bike and thats like 4 lessons, but at least we get to talk to more people and its all working out ok. The elders i am living with are great and we have a good time and work hard. Well thats about all that is going on here. I am glad to hear that you all survived trek and no body died. I am sending my memory card home today and if you could fill it up and send it back to me i would love it. I hope that there are some good pictures of alyssas bright dress. Thank you very much for the advice and the help, i always need a little bit of help so thank you for everything that you do and i hope that everything goes well with the rest of your summer and have a great week.
Love Elder Jensen

Dejavu

Hello Mom
Well first of all thank you very much for the package and the candy was kind of like water but i just stuck it in the freezer and it was as good as new, other than the buttons were no longer buttons but blob. So oh well it was good. Well last night i got transfer calls and was ready to stick my foot through the wall, but i just sent to bed and it looks better this side of sleep, i am going back to Metairie again and i will be on a bike with elder Jensen again. So dejavu and i am not sure what i am going to do, i am going to be cosenior companionship, so i am not sure what to expect. At first i was pretty upset about it but then i realized that it doesn't really matter, and who cares, BECAUSE I GET TO GO TO THE BYU GAME!!!! Well my priorities are out of order but i am trying to be an optimist and so we will see how it goes. I was sick again all last friday with some stuff that i will spare you the trouble to describe, but i am better. Um thats about all that has happened but it is good to hear that you all are doing well and enjoying the summer. I am glad to hear that the ward is helping the wilsons alot and that it is progressing. WEll sorry but i have to go pack to move about 3 minutes away, the address is the same 2416 pasadena #103 so just so you know. I love you all a ton and hope that you all have a great week.

Rough Week

Well this week was a pretty disappointing week to say the least. We didn't get the people that we wanted to church and the guy we just baptized said he is never going back to church. So yeah that was pretty rough but i guess we will just keep going. Nothing much exciting has happened this week, we had a meeting with Elder Gonzalez and he talked about the importance of our calling and what is our purpose, it was really short because he got stuck in Dallas and then had to go to visit with someone else but it was good to hear from him even if it was only for 10 minutes. I really dont have anything else to say, today we are going to catch an alligator, this morning i tried to correct my ingrown toenail my self and bled all over the carpet and transfer calls is next week so i will let you know on tuesday what happens. Thanks for all the love and prayers, hope your week goes well and have a great day Love Elder Jensen

Tchoupitoulas Challenge

Well first of all i would like to apologize for not writing last week. I wish i had a good excuse or any at all like that an alligator ate me or something, but in all honesty i just strait up forgot. So many apologies, i am sorry about that and i hope you can forgive me. We have had a crazy time here and life is going great. So lets see what happened in the last two weeks. Well last monday we all did an ice cream challenge called the Tchoupitoulas Challenge [at: Creole Creamery] which is about 1/2 a gallon of ice cream, 8 toppings, a ton of whipping cream and cherries and almost all of us finished it. It took me about 2 hours, it took my buddy 15 minutes, he was 2 minutes shy of the record, we attracted quite a crowd, everybody was taking pictures of the guys eating a ton of ice cream. It was pretty funny. We then went and played basketball and i had to take off half way through or i was going to have an accident. We also had the opportunity to have interviews with President Woods and that went very well, he always offers us advice and help. We also had a good week at church we got our two top investigators and i was excited that it was fast and testimony meeting because it always is the best and the spirit is always there, even if crazy women get up and ramble for 10 minutes. Things are going awesome here and i am having a blast. It seems like last week i was thinking about what happened to march and it is already June. Time is going to fast and i dont really want to get transfered. But i am excited and there are opportunities in every area. When you recieve my bill for my card, don't worry, i just got a small ($130) ticket and had to use it last month or starve but i am good and pretty much nothing matters anymore other than if my investigators read or not. Life is good, i love you all so much.
