Two Years in Fresno: Week #16

Once again Brody is a witness of miracles…Apparently it rained in Coalinga. Gurvinder is the investigator from India. He is in Coalinga to play football at the college. Believe it or not, it must be getting a little cold down there. Brody was asking when his jackets would be arriving. He was able to email back and forth with most of us aging today. He and Brennan were able to finally get caught up on how the Warriors are doing. Thanks for all of your support. Brody said to keep the letters and pictures coming. I will attach some pictures in a different email. Just a reminder you can read his letters and see his pictures at elderjenseninfresno.blogspot.com

Hello everyone,

I hope you are all doing well. This past week was pretty busy. So we cover a little town called Huron and we have been told to not go out there after dark because gangs and there are shootings every night. But we got a call to go out there and that some people needed blessings. We got out there and saw these Hispanics that had rolled their car, one had a broken neck and the other hurt his head.You could see his skull!! I guess the jaws of life cut his head and if it would have went one centimeter more his brains would have gushed out. They are taking skin from his leg to cover the hole on his head...we gave both of them blessings and got out of there as fast as we could. We saw the gang at a party outside but avoided them. another thing that happened this past week was with Gurvinder. We teach him on the college campus and there is always a basketball game on in the window... he saw me watching it and said he was going to tell the bishop! I told him I would tell the bishop that he drinks coffee haha, we like to joke around a lot. he also said, "can you believe the stuff Elder Jensen says? And he's on his mission!" Anyways we were sitting in fast and testimony meeting and all of a sudden Gurvinder goes up to the front in his shorts, hoodie, and with his little white thing in his hair. the members, including me probably thought he was gonna bomb the church or something! but he got up there and said that he was thankful for the Elders and wants to be a mormon and to be baptized! after that he said, "Elder Jensen has to come up now because I did." haha so I had to go up as well! It also rained here for the 1st time in eternity. I love and miss you all. Have a good week.
