Thanksgiving

Dear Mom
When i said i was thankful for the blessing of not food and i realy meant it. I for once actually wasn't kidding. But this thanks anyway. THis week was a pretty dang good week. We had our Turkey Bowl on Monday for pday and WE SMOKED THEM!!!! (and no broken bones, ligaments, ect) so that was a blast and it was good to get out and play for a bit. On thanksgiving we had an awesome lunch with some English members and had an awesome meal with a bunch of missionaries. We then spent the rest of the afternoon writing letters to our ward members and family. And then at night we went out and delivered them and then went and had dinner at our Branch Presidents house. So all in all a pretty good day. For the rest of the week it was a little slow, i am not sure why because nobody was working, but for some reason nobody was home. Our investigators are kind of fizzling a little bit, but we did have the opportunity to have a lady named Cecilia at church with her husband. She is really emotional and feeling really lonely right now, she has family that are having problems, so we have been being really bold with her and telling her that the way to happiness and peace in this life is through our message. She is really hesitant about the Book of Mormon and prophets, but she did come to church and yesterday we had an awesome lesson with her and she commited to pray, so now it is only a matter of time. Other than that not a huge progress, Enoelas roomates.....in lack of a better word are very very lame, so we cant visit her anymore, but we aren't giving up. we are sending members to do the dirty work so we will see what happens. So that was about our week.
Um bad news about Reina she went back to Honduras to get her divorce fixed so that she could get married here (the guy Dionicio just got baptized though) and on the way back she got caught by immigration, so now she is in jail in Texas. But from what Dionicio says the situation is hopeful.
This week we were blessed with not having to use bikes at all, we did exchanges one day and then got a ride to and from the area another day. So amazing luck.
As for Christmas gifts i don't need anything at all, shirts, pants and socks are all good. My shoes are slowly dying but i can last until my birthday or until i get home. And they still look good, just the bikes kind of killed the soul.
So life is awesome, i am happy to hear about your thanksgiving and i am glad you all had a good time. Cant wait to hear from you in a few weeks and best of luck with Tyson :)
Love Elder Jensen

I am not sure at this time which complex i am moving into, i should find out if they have room next week.
