Week #2

Brody seems to be doing little better this week compared to last. If you notice, he even uses the word "happy" once. Thanks for all of your prayers in his behalf this past week.

Hello everyone, well this past week has been really challenging. I still don't like this place. I'm 1/3 of the way done in the MTC so we have to act like we are teaching actual investigators. so me and my companion have to teach lessons in Spanish. good thing that he can speak it pretty well because i just sit there silent most of the time. i have let loose on my companion a couple of times. when he is bored he does 20 rows of pascuels triangle. my Spanish is still really bad and I'm way homesick. I've wanted to come home so bad. I talked to a sister that ids from Fresno and she said she hears a lot of gun shots, but she quickly said just kidding. She probably didn't want to scare us. i

The District

just have to look at my mission one day at a time. because if i think about it in other ways i get really nervous and want to come home and quit. this language is still kicking my butt. I don't know how I am going to get trhough these two years because the past two weeks have seemed like forever. I get frustrated a lot. i hope that it starts to get better for me. everyday here is exactly the same and it is super boring. I just want to get to cali and see what the field is like. I'm pretty sure that Elder Colton Hill was lying to me when he said that he misses this place everyday because i cant wait to get out of here.haha my favorite part of the day is when i get to go and play sand volleyball. if only my spanish was as good as my volleyball skills. haha i talk to an elder in my house that feels the same way as me. his name is Elder Poulton, he is from bountiful and is going to Sacramento I think once i get in the field time will start to go by faster. i will be busier, and school will start up. i still don't feel like i am a missionary.

 like ever since i was little ive said that i was going to go on a mission and is hasn't hit me that my time is now. im so happy that im doing this now rather than later. missionaries say it gets to a point to where you don't want to come home... i don't know if i will ever get to that point haha. ive got to work hard and go day by day. today we went to the temples visitor center it was really cool. i love and miss all of you guys so much. ill see you soon. i hope you're all doing well!

Love, Elder Jensen
