Transfers

Dearest Mother
Well first of all thanks a ton for the package and for the amazing treats. I never thought i would miss the day that i didn't have to eat chicken noodle soup but yet here it is. So thanks for keeping the tradition alive. I was feeling really stoooooopid that i couldn't figure out your candy bar riddle. I had to write it down for crying out loud, and then i figured it out and wanted to kick myself in the back of the head...looks like this states wearing off on me. Oh well. So thanks for everything i am way excited to make the cookies, but i cant remember how. So if you could send me a little letter, and if not i will just guess for what temp and for how long. Oh and while i remember I am moving next transfer again and my new address is
xxxx Victoria DR
Baton Rouge LA, 70805
So yes speaking of that I got my call last night and i am staying in the same area but moving again to the previously mentioned address and i will be training again. His name is Elder Southwick and that is all i know. So im not sure how that will go, its going to be my first companion that doesn't speak Spanish better than me so that will be wierd, but i am excited and ready to keep going.
This week we had an awesome experience. On Saturday night we were trying to set up rides and visit all the people that were going to go to church, but unfortunately not a single person that we talked to was going to be able to go. So i was feeling really down and just kind of trying to figure why people are so dumb here and just really negative. So we stopped at the apartment to use the bathroom and when i went out to start the car to leave it was dead. So i was just livid, i called the office elders and they said they were far away and couldn't jump it and so told me to call it a night. So we stayed in and it kind of forced me to my knees and i got a gentle reassurance that everything was fine and that the Lord provides. So i had no idea how but i had faith that something would happen. So we got a ride to church in the morning and at 10:15 when church started no body was there, so i figured what ever. But miracle has it that two of our members just decided to bring their friends to church. People that we had never talked to. So the Lord provided for us 2 new investigators and 2 at church. So that was my cool experience for the week.
Yes i did get my flu shot, no i am not going to Physical therapy, i have pretty much just scrapped sports for these last few months and will deal with it when i get back. It doesn't hurt too bad, just takes a while to get to sleep but its fine. Tell Tyson i hope he gets better so he can go trick or treating. I sent two memorie cards home so i hope to get some good pictures. Tell Jace and Alyssa congrats on the good grades and i hope that they are doing well still. and if you could find out when i need to be registered to go to school in Fall....uuugggghhhh. I think i would appreciate it. Thanks for everything and i hope that you all have a fantastic week and a super Halloween.
Love Elder Jensen
