I am doing very well today and hope the same for you. Well i realized that last week i wrote a rediculously short letter and hope that you will forgive me. This week i will try to add somemore details. Although it was a pretty rough week and not a ton happened, we did have a few little things that happened that make it all worth it. Last week we made the decision to pretty much do a drop it like its hot party, which means we pretty much dropped all the people that we were teaching, because they were all at a standstill and not really keeping the commitments we were giving them. And i also realized that i was just wasting my time as well as their time by passing by and realizing that as of now they aren't willing or reading to change. So this week was a lot of searching and talking to members and trying to get them to invite their friends, so far we haven't had a ton of success, but there are a few select rays of light that could have some potential. But as of right now we are just doing a lot of tracting and talking to people. But it is going well and we are slowly finding people to teach.
This week was also cool because i got to do a baptismal interview for a kid that the other missionaries were teaching, it was a really spiritual experience and i hope he felt how i felt during it. His name is Diego and he is 14 years old and his parents are members. So it was a really cool experience to be able to feel the spirit while we were talking and i really wish i had as strong of desire to follow Christ as he does when i was 14. But it was a good learning experience. So they had the baptism on Saturday and i tried to pay more attention to my feelings and it is starting to become easier to feel the spirit now that i understand a little bit better how i have to be thinking and how i have to be acting to be able to feel it. So thats good.
On the bad news, i sprained my right ankle 3 weeks ago and it is hurting at nights and occasionally during the day so sister woods is sending me to a doctor, so we will see what happens.
Anyway i am glad to hear that Tyson is somewhat content with his house, i should send him some pictures of the houses/trailers/forts in the woods we teach (we seriously taught someone who lives in a forrest with a tarp and wooden posts, he is trying to "avoid the world") maybe he would be happier with what he has, i sure am. Make sure to congratulate Dallin and Mae i am sure they are going to recieve a lot more happiness with the knowledge that their marriage is now eternal. Wish Amanda and Brian the best of luck and congratulations as well. I love you all very much and wish the very best for you.
Love Elder Jensen
P.S. Tell Tyson to stop kissing girls!!!
