First of all, we would like to thank everyone for your love, support, and prayers. It has been a great experience for Brody and his family. We can't believe this day has finally come. Brody and his family have truly been blessed by his sacrifice. If you ever want to read how a mission changes someone, read his blog (thanks Rachel). I often go back and read some of those early emails. Brody has grown in so many ways. I know he is looking forward to seeing each one of you again.

<span style="font-family: inherit;">i can't even put into words the feelings that i am having right now. i don't know how two years just flew by like nothing. when i think back it is bitter sweet. i am so sad to be leaving the mission and my home in California. i have learned so much out here in the past two years and i have seen God's hand in so many different daily experiences. a mission is a once in a lifetime opportunity. and i just want to say that i am so grateful and so proud that i have had the opportunity to serve a mission here in the Fresno, California Mission. it was not easy... that's for dang sure. but it was soooo worth it, i wouldn't trade this experience for anything. i remember being in the MTC and saying i couldn't wait to get home. but an Elder said... "i bet you will be one that does not want to go home" i never thought that was possible but here we are! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">this past week was a tough one just knowing that it was my last. i had my final interview with President Clark and we set some goals to keep going strong after my mission. i have met so many great people here and i hate goodbyes. i literately could live here in california haha... sorry for saying that mom!<br />but on the other hand i am so excited to see all of you and to come home! A LOT has changed and i can't wait to see! i love and miss you all and i will see you soon! #missionaccomplished!<br />love,<br />Elder Jensen</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Sorry this is so late. I have been out of town and didn't have any way to pass it on. As you can tell by reading Brody's email, he is doing great. He is having some great experiences. The countdown is on here at the Jensen home. He only has 12 more days. Thanks for all of your prayers and support. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Hello Everyone!!! </span><div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">so this past week has been a great one! i should have quite a bit to write about! i have been super busy and working really hard! i have a couple of stories about investigators to share as well that really made my week great!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">okay so first off, we have an investigator named Tiana. she is super cool and we have been teaching her for a while. her previous beliefs were that she believed in praying to her ancestors and stuff. we started teaching her without a belief in God. overtime she has come to know that God does exist. this last week she pretty much taught us the restoration and told us that she has no doubts that God is real and that the stuff we teach is true. it has just been really cool to watch her growth and how she has come to know that these things are true and that God does exist. we are planning on setting a baptismal date with her in an upcoming lesson. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">we are also teaching a girl named Kayla. we found her by just talking to everyone on the street. we have seen her a couple of times and it has gone great. she really understands the importance of our message. we invited her to pray if Joseph Smith was a prophet and if the message we share is true. a couple of days later we went over to see her and she told us that she prayed... she said that she had a dream and God came to her in the dream. She said that God told her to listen to us because we were sent as representatives and that we shared the truth. it was such an amazing experience and just a testimony builder. the work we do as missionaries is SO important! she should be getting baptized in July. it is kind of sad that all of these people are getting baptized and i won't be here. we set a baptismal date with a family of like 8. they all came to church and said that they can't wait to be members. there are so many miracles happening out here! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">okay so as YSA missionaries we get to do some pretty cool stuff. we teach people everywhere. for example, we taught lessons in Jamba Juice, Cold Stone, and Starbucks this past week haha. we have a lot of fun and it is really cool to teach people my age about the gospel. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">so i have a couple more stories.... we are teaching this girl named Tajeray. she plays basketball for the college here in merced and is super cool. she came to church with us and wants to get baptized as well. it was really cool because she told us how much we have helped her. that she can tell that we love and care about her more than people that she has known her whole life!! she has had a rough past but i know the gospel can help her. i am not quite sure how the atonement and all of that works but it does. it is crazy to think that an event that happened over 2000 years ago has impact on our lives and that it is that powerful. it is eternal! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">we talk to everyone on the street! one day we stopped a women and just opened our pamphlet and talked about the first vision. she started crying and asked us the quesion, "do you always make people feel like this in such a short amount of time?" she felt the spirit so strongly and knew what we were saying was true. she wasn't in our area so we told the other missionaries to stop by. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">i have a couple more stories but i will save them for the end. one cool thing i got to do this week was play sports a couple of times. we play basketball <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1897783206" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on friday</span></span> and <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1897783207" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">saturday</span></span> night. also one day this week there were a bunch of kids outside and they wanted us to play soccer with them. so we got out of our car and played! it was awesome! somehow Elder Harrison and i beat them hahaha! i will send a picture of that. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">i am not sure if i mentioned this last week but we were out at the University of Merced and we were teaching a lesson at about <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1897783208" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">10:00</span></span> at night. we were at a table and i saw a raccoon. everyone told me that it was completely normal but it eventually got closer and closer to me. before i knew it the raccoon was under my chair and it was about to attack me haha! luckily some kids walked up and the raccoon got scared and ran away. it was so scary because i didn't know where it was and it was right under me! anyways while we were there we were teaching our friend from China. his name is Eric. his concern is that his mom doesn't want him to join our church but he wants to. we had a lesson on doing God's will. We asked him the questions "if you were to see God <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1897783209" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">tomorrow</span></span> what would you say to him and what would he say to you?" he answered the questions very humbly and honestly. after that he looked at us and asked us the same questions for an example. i was shocked and taken back.... it really pierced me. i was speechless. it was a great experience to think about it and really evaluate myself. i realized that i have so much to work on in my life still. my only desire is to stand clean before God and do what he would have me do. it is hard but i know it will be worth it. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">now for my last story that really hit me hard this week. so we went down to fresno to the mission office to pick up some packages for the zone. after that we went to wendy's to eat with a member that Elder Harrison knew down there. as we were there a guy came in with a walker. he was homeless and just had some change. i watched as he got in line and looked up at the menu. i noticed that about 3 people gave him some spare change as he was waiting. when he got to the front of the line he had just enough for a small burger and a drink. i felt so bad inside and i felt true and sincere love for this man. i continued to watch him as he got his food and wen to his table to eat. before he ate i watched as he looked around and smiled to everyone that had given him some spare change. after that he bowed his head and prayed. i am sure that he was thanking God for the food that he had. i started to cry in the middle of Wendy's. here we have this homeless guy with nothing basically and he is thanking God for what he has. i really admired that because i have so much and i am not grateful enough for what i have. i have really been studying the topic that we are all children of God the past two weeks, and as i saw this guy a scripture rang in my head..... it is in the book of Romans and it says- </span></div>

<div style="background-color: #fefbbf; background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 26px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">we are all children of God. i saw this man and i pictured him as my brother and i saw him as he truly was and the potential that he has. this man in the middle of Wendy's is a beloved son of our Heavenly Father. He has the potential to become like him as all of us do. we are joint heirs with Christ! i believe that hardly, if ever we understand our divine lineage and divine potential as sons and daughters of God. i know that this is true, i know that we have a loving Heavenly Father and that he loves everyone. i am looking forward to this next week! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">i love and miss you all! i hope you have a great week! i will see you soon! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Brody seems to be busier than ever. He didn't spend a lot of time with us today. He didn't send any pictures. Basically, he says it all towards the end of his email, "don't worry about me I am keeping busy out here!"</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Only 4 weeks left. I asked him if he knew his flight information and he replied, "I don't know, if you want the information, call the mission office." Brody is focused and not worried about the little things. We are proud of him and the work he is doing. Thanks for your support. Oh ya, save the date, Brody will be giving his homecoming talk on <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1542354171" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">July 10th at 11:00</span></span>. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">so this past week has been a pretty dang good one. it has been super super busy! i will try to remember everything that happened. i don't have my planner with me but i will try to remember. so first of all we had our YSA activity <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1542354172" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on tuesday</span></span> in Atwater. we played rugby, Frisbee, and water volleyball and ate dinner. it was pretty legit. we had about 9 non members there. we have been goint out the the University a couple of times to visit with some people. we are going to have a baptism <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1542354173" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">this saturday</span></span>, her name is Kassy and she is 20 years old. we are super excited for her. so i probably mentioned it earlier in my last email but i cover a family ward as well. the family ward is pretty awesome and know what they are doing. this past week we found a family of 7 and taught them the restoration. to be honest it was probably one of the most powerful lessons on my mission. the spirit was so strong. we taught how god has given us families because he loves us and because of that we receive the gospel through men called prophets. these prophets testify of Jesus Christ. we know that christ came into the world and organized his church and called and ordained 12 apostles. which he also gave his authority to baptize to also known as the priesthood. but we know that christ and the apostles were killed off and this authority died with them. the world then fell into a state of apostasy or a time without a prophet of God. and after that we teach them the first vision and all of that good stuff. at the end of the lesson they were all crying, even the little kids. the dad said the closing prayer and was speechless. we felt impressed to invite them all to be baptized and they accepted the invitation without hesitating. it was so awesome!!! you would think that after 2 years you would get sick of teaching the same thing every single day but i don't! the restoration is so powerful!! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">this past week i also had MLC (missionary leadership council) with all of the zone leaders in the mission, the assistants, and President Clark. it was a really good meeting and i even role played and taught with President Clark. i got to see some of my buddies like Elder Olsen there. it was just a lot of fun. then <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1542354174" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on sunday</span></span> i had a meeting with the stake presidency and president clark again on the missionary work here in the Merced Stake. it was a super busy week. i also went on an exchange and have been visiting some other elders in the zone. so don't worry about me i am keeping busy out here! i hope you are all doing the same back at home! i love and miss you all! have a great week! </span></div>

We were getting worried about Brody getting a little too relaxed. According to this email, all that has changed. He sent us an email saying he couldn't chat back and forth today because he needed to stay focused. It's crazy, but he only has 5 weeks left. Thanks for all of your support.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><u><br /></u>Well Hello Everyone,<br />so it has been a really interesting week but a good one for sure! some of the week has seemed long but we have been super busy!! so <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_939120936" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on tuesday</span></span> we drove down to the temple in fresno to the transfer hub and to get our new companions. so as i said last week i am with Elder Harrison. He is from Preston, Idaho. and he has been out one transfer less than me. we are in an english area but we both speak spanish so we can still practice together!!! Elder Harrison is actually cousins with the Barkers who live in santaquin! he likes to ball as well! we get along great.<br />last monday i had to say goodbye to some of my favorite people that i have got to know on my mission. it was really hard and sad. i really have come to love the people that i serve out here. i can't even imagine the feeling that i am going to have when i have to come home. i feel like California is my home now and i don't wanna leave the people out here! i am now about 15 minutes south of atwater in merced. so i get to see some of the atwater people once in a while. i cover two congregations here.... i cover an english ward and then i cover the stake YSA. yesterday at church was a long day. we are at church from 8 in the morning until 3 for meetings and classes. i really enjoy serving in the ysa with kids my age. i taught the lesson yesterday <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_939120937" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on sunday</span></span>, we only get around 15 people to sacrament meeting but it is still fun! we actually have a ysa activity every <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_939120938" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">tuesday</span></span> night, this week we will be eating and playing volleyball. and then <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_939120939" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on friday</span></span> nights we go to atwater to play basketball so i get to see my homies in atwater on fridays. we have actually played a lot of ball this week! i miss serving the hispanics so that is gonna take some time to get used to.<br />so my new apartment is pretty sick haha. i actually live in the basement of some members. they are retired so the house is really quiet. i will send some pics of my new crib!<br />so now i will tell you a little bit about what i have been up to this last week. so as zone leaders we are really busy. one thing we do is in the morning we go and see other missionaries in our zone and do companionship studies with them to help them out, it is nice to be able to go and see other missionaries! also i work a lot closer with the assistants and President Clark now, in fact i will be having a meeting for the mission with President and the assistants <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_939120940" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">this friday</span></span> in Fresno. one day this week we had to wake up at 5 in the morning to exercise and then go to a seminary and meet the seniors that will soon be YSA. also since we are serving in the YSA we can be out a lot later, so that day we were working from 5 in the morning until <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_939120941" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">10:30</span></span> at night. i was praying that my last transfer i could keep busy and not think about the time..... be careful what you ask for haha. but even though i am always tired and busy i am loving it! i am on like a spiritual high and feeling the spirit super strong in lessons. i feel exhausted at the end of the day but it feels so good! we talk with every single person on the streets. we chase them down even if they look a little sketchy haha. we even stop the car roll the window down to talk with everyone. most people are pretty nice but once in a while we get a mean one. it is a lot of fun even when they are mean though! we have quite a bit of investigators and one of them even called us up this week because she wanted to wax our eyebrows hahaha! so we went and it was a rather different experience haha.<br />we have been teaching a lot this week, we teach at the college campus somedays as well. we have set a baptismal date for <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_939120942" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">June 11th</span></span> and should have a couple more baptisms in the month of June. most of them are YSA. it is so amazing to see how the gospel can change peoples lives! i love sharing it with them and seeing them recognize the spirit! it scares me to think about the little bit of time i have left to share this message, so i just work hard to forget about the time! i encourage you all to do the same haha.<br />so here in the mission there is a term which is called "trunky" it means that you are too excited to go home and can't wait to get home. i would say that for some of my mission i was trunky but i truly believe that i am the least trunky right now than i have been on my whole mission! the mission is great and i don't want it to end really. it has changed my life in so many ways, i am so grateful for the blessings that i have and the miracles that i have seen! i wouldn't trade what i have learned and come to know out here for nothing! a mission is priceless!<br />everything i do is because i love the Lord Jesus Christ and i want to serve my brothers and sisters! i look forward to finishing strong!<br />i love and miss you all and hope that you have a great week!<br />-Elder Jensen<br />p.s. congratulations to camri for graduating this past week! and i hope you all have a great summer! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Brody is very sad to be leaving Atwater. He is very sad to leave the people there. They have been very good to him. He is looking forward to his new assignment. He did mention that he is only 15 minutes away from Atwater. I am sure he will find some reason to visit. He sent some pictures. Check them out on his blog at <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&q=http://elderjenseninfresno.blogspot.com&source=gmail&ust=1464183128046000&usg=AFQjCNGDTD9fqbkHCdITlDSxsKYCtf8XgA" href="http://elderjenseninfresno.blogspot.com/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">elderjenseninfresno.blogspot.<wbr></wbr>com</a></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Well Hello Everybody!! </span><div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">so this past week has been hecka crazy! a lot has happened: Elder Cardon from the 70 came, we got transfer calls, and so much more! i will save the transfer calls for the last of the email. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">so to start off Elder Craig Cardon came from the 70 this past week to visit the mission. it was a great conference. he is a great speaker and brings the spirit so strong. i really enjoyed the conference with him. i learned a lot of things about the scriptures and how to become a better missionary! it was sweet. i also got to see a lot of my friends from throughout the mission. i got to see Elder Smith again and i saw Elder Mo'o. he goes home <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1173784344" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">in two days</span></span> so i am glad i got to see him one more time. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">one thing that happened this week is that i got sick for the first time on my mission. it was only a one day thing but i was hoping that i could avoid being sick my whole mission. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">so now for transfer calls..... we got the call <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1173784345" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on saturday</span></span> night and i found out that i am leaving the area. i am pretty sad but i knew it was coming eventually. <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1173784346" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on sunday</span></span> i got a call from President Clark and he called me to be a zone leader. i will be serving in Merced. i will cover a family ward and the YSA. so i will still get to make some trips to atwater to visit the YSA's out here. i am going to be with Elder Harrison. i will be speaking english... so my spanish missionary days are over which i am pretty sad about. i am going to miss the spanish members and investigators so much and the food as well haha. i will have new responsibilities and it will be a good change hopefully. i am torn a little that i am leaving the area. i am super close with so many of the families and people. i can't really describe the feeling... the only thing i can compare it to is the feeling that i had at the airport when i said goodbye to my family. it is super hard to leave these people that i have come to love. as i have been going around and saying goodbye it has been sooooo hard. but i know that the lord has a plan and that i am suppose to be moved to merced. i am excited for my final transfer and ready to finish with all i got. i hope you all have a great week and that you know i love and miss you all! i will see you soon! take care! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">also i wanted to give a shout out to my homeboy Carson Hill on getting his mission call to the California, Redding Mission! he will be a great missionary and i am super excited for him! Congratulations Carson! </span></div>

It is crazy how fast time is flying by. He is doing great. Only 7 more short weeks left. His email says it all. He has one more transfer left. If he stays in his current area, that means he only served in three different areas during his mission. That is crazy to me but Brody said it is normal in his mission for the spanish speaking elders to stay in their areas a little longer than what might be expected. I know it is way early to be announcing this, but his homecoming will be <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_991783921" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">July 10th</span></span>, so you should can be back from your <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_991783922" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">4th of july</span></span> celebrations. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><b><span style="font-family: inherit;"><u> </u></span></b><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Hello Everyone!</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">this past week was a great week. so at the start of the week we had our last district meeting of the transfer because the transfer is ending here pretty soon. we get transfer calls <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_991783923" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">this saturday</span></span>. it is my last one and i am hoping to stay here in atwater with elder Hopkins, that would be absolutely crazy if it happened but i guess you never know! </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">i also went on exchanges with the zone leaders this past week. i got to go with Elder Harrison from Idaho. he is really cool, they cover the YSA in Merced. so for most of the day i was on a college campus teaching kids my own age. it was a lot of fun. i felt weird walking around a college campus, everyone was really nice and would talk to us. i found a kid and talked to him while Elder Harrison talked with some other kids and now the kid i talked to is going to be getting baptized in Merced in a couple of weeks. at the college it was the week of finals so everyone was stressing, it made me not excited to go to college. we even like ate in the cafeteria with all the kids at the college. it was really cool! </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">this past week we celebrated mother's day here in the branch. we had a party and all ate tacos it was a blast. the branch is awesome and i like serving here. one of my buddies that i got close with from the english ward left to idaho today to work. he is a big warriors fan and will be going to college at uvu next fall. he said he will try to make it to utah for my homecoming. he is a great guy! i have made so many great friends out here and i love talking with the people of california! california is awesome. it is starting to heat up again! </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">this morning we were at walmart and some guy tried to hardcore bash with us and told us to repent for believing in the wrong jesus christ and a whole bunch of other stuff. it got pretty heated and so we just threw doctrine at him and he didn't have an answer so he would change the subject, after he did that i told him we didn't have time for his bashing and that we wasn't going to shake our faith then we walked away. he was pretty mad and said he was gonna pray for us to change so that on judgement day we will be fine. i don't like bashing but sometimes they need to be put in their place. this guy has been doing it since i got to atwater and drives past us on the road and says, "hail satan" it was crazy that he just did it in the middle of walmart. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">this week we have zone conference with a 70 so that should be uplifting. the work is going good and the time is going fast. i can't believe that i have been out for 22 months today! i hope you all have a great week and know that i love and miss you all! </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Elder Jensen</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">p.s.

<span style="font-family: inherit;">It was great to see Brody yesterday for mothers day. He looked great and seems to be doing better than ever. He was happy and very talkative. He is loving his mission and really feels like he is where he is suppose to be. We were able to meet some of the people through Skype that have been taking care of him. One of the members said, "this is my angel." Who would have though?!!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We also saw the baby that he has threatened to bring home with him. I can see why he wants to smuggle her home. She was a cutie. It is hard to believe, but he only has 8 weeks left. He didn't have any pictures to send, but Rachel or myself will try to round some up from his Skype and put on his blog. Thanks for all of your support for Brody. On to week 97.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Well Hello Everyone!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">this past week was a really good week! the highlight of the week was when I got to Skype with my family. every time I Skype it is like I am dreaming! I feel like I am in a whole different world. I loved seeing my family and it was just a really good time. I am to the point where California is my home and that's all I know haha. it really scares me to think about coming home so I just avoid thinking about it and work. I have realized that I had to leave my family two years ago to come on a mission... and that was so hard at the time but when i come home i am going to have to do the same thing here. i am going to have to leave my family here in California. it is a bitter sweet feeling.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">another highlight this week was that i had my last interview with President Clark. it was a great interview, i love President Clark. he cares about us so much and really helps us to become more converted to the gospel of jesus Christ. i also went on another exchange this past week with an elder in the English ward. we were on bikes and we talked to a whole bunch of people in the streets. it was a lot of fun... street contacting can be fun because you never know what type of response you are going to get out of anyone. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">we have a couple of progressing investigators here and are working on setting some baptismal dates! i am excited for this next week. we have a lot planned, we are going to be having a party for mother's day and are going to celebrate by eating tacos. we are also going to be holding a funeral here at the church. i am going to be going on exchanges with the zone leaders.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">time is going by super fast and i am happy and loving my mission! things are going great! i love and miss you all. i hope you have a great week!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Hello Everyone! </span><div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">so this past week was pretty busy! i went on two exchanges with Elders in my district which was pretty fun. we also got to go to the temple.... it was my last temple trip until the day before i come home! i went with Brother Wilcox! it was a lot of fun! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">we have been working really hard here in Atwater and we set a baptismal date with a boy named Alonzo! he is so smart in the gospel! he is ten years old and his family are members. he has been coming to church for a long time now and finally decided to choose a date. his date is for <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1822583905" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">june 4th</span></span> which is his birthday! so we are excited for that! we also found some new investigators this week and it has just been crazy. we have been teaching a lot. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">i can't believe how fast time is going... i swear it was just mother's day not too long ago and that i just barely skyped my family but that time is already coming up again. i don't really have anything else this week! i love and miss you all! have a great week! </span></div>

He was on only for a short time. He was headed to play in a basketball game with some elders from another area. He sounds great. For those of you that really know Brody, this email must be saved forever. Haha. On to week 95. Thanks for your support. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><b><span style="font-family: inherit;"><u> </u></span></b><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Hello Everyone!!! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">First of all i would like to congratulate my awesome sister on winning Miss Payson!! i saw a bunch of pictures and i am sure she did an amazing job! </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">so this past week was SUPER busy! i saw President Clark 3 times in a week! that is the most i have ever seen him. i saw him at zone meeting, the district leader meeting, and at a fireside which we sang at. it was a good week though, i got to go down to fresno and see some missionaries that i haven't seen for a while! it was a really good week! we also did some service in the city of atwater, we cleaned a park! i got to go on an exchange this week as well. i am keeping really busy which is a good thing. we taught a lot of lessons this week and have been working hard! </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">i am not quite sure what to talk about today so i think i will share the second most important thing i have learned on my mission. which the first is my conversion to the gospel. but the second most important thing that i feel i have learned is attitude. everything in life is about attitude. we can't control what situations we get put into or the trials we go through but we can control our attitude. it can be hard to have a good attitude sometimes though, throughout my mission i have learned how to be positive and have a good attitude. as many of you know before my mission i was pretty negative and didn't have a great attitude about things. even at the start of my mission i was not good with it which i want to apologize for. i was reading through my old group emails and i can't believe how negative i was, i bet it was hard for my family to read those things and my struggles. but it has been a great learning experience. i feel like as soon as i got rid of my bad attitude time started to fly by. and i have learned to do the will of the Lord instead of my own on my mission. i wouldn't trade it for anything. i love my mission! i have never been so happy and positive in my life. and i love to see other people happy, that is why i continue to serve. i love the people here and i love the Lord. i can't even describe the feelings and the joy that i feel as i see others feel God's love and really make huge changes in their lives. i love these people. there is a quote that goes like this.... "others won't care how much you know, until they know how much you care" i have learned to love everyone out here! time is going by so fast and i don't know if i am ready for it to end, because i feel that i still have so much more to learn. a mission is crazy, but it is the best thing i have ever done with my life. it has changed everything about me. i wasn't that strong in my testimony when i first came out but now i can say that i know this is the true church and that Jesus Christ is my Savior. i am so grateful for my mission! that is about all i got this week. i hope you are all doing well. have a great week! i love you! </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Elder Jensen</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Brody's email was pretty short today. He didn't have a lot to say. I think he is trying to get the most out of everyday while serving his mission. I'm not quite sure what he means in his email when he says, "the new Atwater feel of things." He has been there for several months. One would think he is use to it. Hahaha. Its hard to believe that we are sneaking up on his last Skype home. He is continuing to work hard. Thanks for your support. On to week 94. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">By the way, he better cut that hair before he gets home or I will remind him what a pocket knife is really used for. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Hello to All, </span><div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">first of all i want to apologize because this email is gonna be really short. this week hasn't been too busy! we have been hitting the streets a lot and trying to find. we haven't had too much luck so far but we will soon enough. we have some investigators but nothing solid right now. this last week we had stake conference and two Elders from the 70 came! it was awesome. it was probably the best stake conference i have ever gone to! i have got to play some basketball this past week a few times with some investigators and members it has been sweet! i also heard the NBA playoffs started so go Warriors! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">so up here in Atwater we got a few new missionaries and one of my favorite Elders left... Elder Smith. so we are still getting use to the new Atwater feel of things. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">this next week i am going to have a lot of meetings, i have a district leader meeting in Fresno and we also have zone meeting this week. i don't know if i mentioned it before but a 70 is coming to our mission next month. i am looking forward to this week! i love and miss you all! have a great week. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Brody said time is flying by and he is not going to do with himself once he gets home. He said he is really going to miss the mission life…go figure. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">He was fortunate to stay in the same place with the same companion. It looks like he might just finish out his mission in this area. Today while chatting with his mom, he wrote part of his sentence in spanish and didn't even realize he did it. Amie had to ask him what the heck he was saying. He asked us if we were getting trunky. I replied, maybe a little. He answered and said to keep busy so it doesn't seem so long. I am sure proud of the attitude Brody has gained while on his mission. If you want to check out a video of Brody, go to his blog. Chris Cook ran into Brody this past week and took some pictures and a video. Thanks Chris. Now, on to week 93. Thanks for all of your support. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">so this past week was great! i got some really big and good news! so we got the transfer call and to our surprise Elder Hopkins and i are staying together for a 4th transfer! that like never happens! that is a fourth of my mission with one companion! we are gonna keep going hard up here in Atwater. i totally thought we were gonna have a change! some of our district got transferred though. but i am pumped about staying especially because there is a family here that is active now! they weren't active a couple of months ago. but they are like seriously one of my favorite families that i have met on my mission! i stinkin love them! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">this past week we got some new investigators and they fed us some tacos and we had a great time! also one of our investigators got back from Arizona after being gone for a couple of months! it was great to see him! his name is beto! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">this next week we have stake conference! we also found out that in May we are going to be having a 70 come to the mission! is is Elder Cardon. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">this last week i ran into a family friend! Chris Cook haha, we had a great time. we went to a taco truck and i gave him a tour of the city of Atwater. it was so weird to see someone that is from home! it was like unreal! i will send some pics! well i love and miss you all! i hope you all have a great week! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Brody was in good spirits today. He was able to chat for a long time. As you will read, he has transfers coming up this week. He is hoping he will get to stay with Elder Hopkins, but doesn't think that is going to happen. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Its hard to believe that he only has two more transfers before he comes home. His email was really short today and he didn't have any pictures this week. Hopefully next week we will get a little more information from him. Thanks for all of your support. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">How is everyone doing today? things here are going great! not too much has happened this past week! i went on a couple of exchanges with some Elders from my district. my companion was sick this past week so we didn't do all that much. i am just happy that i didn't get sick. i haven't been sick once on my mission! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">i absolutely loved general conference again! it is crazy how good and inspired the talks were. i went in with a question to the <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1120639477" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">sunday</span></span> morning session and it was answered in the first talk by President Monson. i watched conference with some Samoan members from the english ward. they invited me over and we had a great time! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">this transfer is coming to an end, i can't believe it! it is so crazy! i doubt i will stay with elder hopkins again but i really want to. we get the callout <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1120639478" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on saturday</span></span> night. </span></div>

Brody sent an email with some scriptures in it. I'm surprised he took the time to type out all of the verses. I guess its a good thing. It is really neat to see his growth. We only chatted for a short time. He was off to play rugby. Time is really ticking away. Thanks for all of your support.</span><br />

<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><u> </u></span></div>
<div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Well Hello Everyone, </span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">this past week was a great one! i had a couple of cool experiences. i got to go on exchanges with Elder Toombs, he is 24 and has been out for about 6 months. we had a good day, we were on bikes. i can say that i do not miss biking!! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">we also had zone conference this past week. i got to see Elder Mo'o and some other missionaries. he goes home one transfer before me. i only have 2 more zone conferences which is crazy! i learned a lot at zone conference. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">i want to share something that i was studying this past week and relate it to my mission and to life in general. the story i am going to share is found in John chapter 21. this is after Christ has been resurrected. it is talking about Peter and the other disciples. so i want to start in verse 3..... </span></div>
<div>
<div style="background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 26px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: rgba(255 , 255 , 255 , 0.00784314); color: #0091bc;"><span style="line-height: 25.2px;"> </span></span>3 Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and entered into a ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing.<br /><br /> 4 But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore: but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus.<br /><br />5 Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat? They answered him, No.<br /><br />6 And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes.<br /><br /> 7 Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt his fisher’s coat unto him, (for he was naked,) and did cast himself into the sea.8 And the other disciples came in a little ship; (for they were not far from land, but as it were two hundred cubits,) dragging the net with fishes.<br /><br />9 As soon then as they were come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread.<br /><br />10 Jesus saith unto them, Bring of the fish which ye have now caught.<br /><br /> 11 Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of great fishes, an hundred and fifty and three: and for all there were so many, yet was not the net broken.<br /><br />12 Jesus saith unto them, Come and dine. And none of the disciples durst ask him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord.<span style="background-color: rgba(255 , 255 , 255 , 0.00784314); color: #0091bc;"><span style="line-height: 25.2px;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div style="background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 26px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">So in verse 3 Peter says that he was going to go fishing which was what he did before he was a disciple. so he was going back to living his normal old life. i feel that sometimes we do the same thing, after a big event or a spiritual experience we eventually go aback to the way we were and we don't fully change. Peter saw many miracles and preached with Christ for a long time. And after Christ's death Peter wasn't sure what to do so he went back to his normal life and went fishing. and now in verses 15-17 we will see what Christ says when the disciples come up to the shore.... </span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">15¶So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter,Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? Hesaith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee.He saith unto him, Feed my lambs.<br /><br /> 16 He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son ofJonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thouknowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep.<br /><br /> 17 He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas,lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said untohim the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him,Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I lovethee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">i really like this scripture passage because Christ is telling Peter that if he truly loves him he should "feed his sheep" or become changed and more converted. Christ is pretty much saying, after all that you have seen and experienced are you going to be truly changed? Peter forgot for a moment what he should have been doing and what he was called to do. Peter went on to be incredibly faithful and a great disciple. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The Atonement allows us to change and become better. it helps us to not slip into our old habits or old ways of life. i truly feel that my mission has changed me and i will not forget about it after my mission, i am forever changed. Being a disciple of Christ is a life long thing not just for 2 years. i am so grateful for the Atonement and ability to overcome trials and become stronger and better. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">One thing that has been hard for me in the past is talking to everyone on the street. it can be awkward but i found a great solution to overcome it. i just tried picturing everyone in temple clothes and seeing their true potential as sons and daughter of God. it really made it easier to talk to people. and i was amazed with how many people said yes and accepted to listen to the missionaries. it makes me wish i would have figured this out a long time ago. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">so yesterday was Easter, we had a branch party and ate carne asada and had a great time! it was a really good day! we even had a lot of non members who are now investigators show up to church! that is about if for my week. i love and miss you all! have a great week and enjoy General Conference! <br />Elder Jensen</span></div>

It is nice that he gets to stay in the same area for a bit to see the process of those he has been teaching. He was introduced to kava this week and really liked it. After drinking 15 cups, he said he felt like he could do anything. As you know March Madness is happening. He has been relying on the members to keep him in the loop. He sounded really good today. He didn't have long because he had a basketball game lined up at the rec. center. He will be home before we know it. Thanks for all of your support. On to week 90.</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><b><span style="font-family: inherit;"><u> </u></span></b><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: black; display: inline !important; float: none; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">well hello everyone! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">this last week was a great week here in Atwater to be honest! the week flew by! we had our district meeting and i went on an exchange with the zone leaders. i went with Elder Speer, he is from South Carolina. i was in Merced and we had a lot of fun together, it was a little weird to teach in English and stuff but it was still good!</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">we found a couple of new investigators this past week, we are excited for them. We saw a HUGE miracle this week!!! so Gloria, is a women who was baptized way back in December, after her baptism she didn't come to church because she got offended. so we have been praying for a really long time for her to come back to church and to soften her heart. so <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1737086609" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on sunday</span></span> morning she called us and told us that she was going to come to church and that she wanted to feed us dinner as well! she then came to church and i confirmed her and gave her the Holy Ghost. it was a great day! we might be having a few baptisms in April as well, they aren't solid as of now but we have faith. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">so we did a service this past week in Winton, the red cross came out and we knocked doors and installed and checked everyone's smoke alarms. it was cool, but kind of weird to knock doors not as a missionary. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">so with Easter coming up we have been passing out pass along cards for the church's easter video this year. i encourage you all to watch it if you have not! also for easter the branch is going to be having a dinner. we are going to be eating Carne Asade, beans, rice, and some other good food! so i am pretty excited about that. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">this next week we will be having zone conference so it should be good. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">i want to wish a Happy Birthday to the best dad in the world this upcoming week! have a great birthday dad! i love you! </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">i hope you all have a great week and i will see you all soon! i love and miss you all! </span><br />

It is great to read his blog and look how far he has come and witness his growth. We are still not sure about the hair. Hahaha. Anyway, thanks for all of your support. Time is flying. </span><b><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></b><span style="font-family: inherit;"><u> </u></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Hello Everyone! </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">How is everyone doing this week? things here are going great in Atwater. this past week i got to go to Fresno for a leadership meeting. it was a lot of fun! i got to see some Elders that i haven't seen in a while. i talked a lot with our assistant (Elder Mo'o) we had a great time and set up some fun things to do in the summer! it was a blast! as i was at the mission office, i saw a familiar face! it was Sister Barker, from Santaquin Utah. she just got here and is starting her mission! Elder Larson from Genola is also back up here in Atwater so that is three of us from Payson High School here in the California Fresno Mission! </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">we have been working really hard and closely with the branch members here, we have a teamup for every night this week! this week i will be going on exchanges with the zone leaders. which he actually turns out to be sister barker's first cousin. the world is small when you are a mormon missionary! </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">we found a couple of new investigators this past week and are working hard with those that we already had. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">President Clark said something this week that really hit me and made me think. He talked about how hard the mission is at first and how much better it is when you get further in. He talked about how the nature of a mission doesn't change, like i am still doing the same things i did when i started my mission like talking with random people, being away from home, learning a language, and stuff like that. but at first it was so tough. he told us even though the nature of things have not changed our abilities have. and it just goes to show how much you can grow as you trust in the Lord and give it your all. One thing i have learned on my mission is that i can do hard things, that i can get through tough times and they will become better and more enjoyable because our abilities improve and we can get through tough trials. it reminds me of Ether <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1921855510" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">12:27</span></span> which is my scripture that i put on my missionary plaque back at home, it talks about how our weaknesses can become strengths but only if we humble ourselves before the Lord. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">well that is about all i got today, i hope you all have a great day and week! i love and miss you all! </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Elder Jensen</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Had a good chat with Brody today. Should I be nervous that when I asked, "What did you do fun today?" and he replied, "ummm…don't tell anyone but I …."</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Haha. Anyway, I'm not going to tell you what he did but Brody seems to be in a good groove right now. He is truly working hard and meeting new people everyday. He told me that he is becoming one of the "old guys" in the mission. He said he gives advice to the new elders but feels sorry of them at the same time. He knows that they are feeling like it is the hardest thing they have ever done. He has kept the "sports night" going at the local branch. He claims it is a missionary tool. You and I both know that it is an excuse for him to put a ball in his hand. After you look at his pictures, I know what you are all thinking. He Needs a Haircut. I also asked him whats up with all the healthy good. He told me that he is on a diet. Go figure!!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The countdown may have officially begun. We filled out some paperwork for his release later this year. Time is really starting to fly. Thanks for your prayers and support in behalf of Brody. On to week 88.</span></div>

Check out his pictures, you will see what I am talking about. From his clothes to the hair. He sounded really good today. He is really liking the weather out there right now. He was headed to a rec center today to play some basketball. He seems to be really enjoying his mission. </span><b><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></b><span style="font-family: inherit;"><u> </u></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">this past week was a really good one! we found 4 new investigators and set 2 baptismal dates. we set the dates with a single mother named Guadalupe and her son Williams. they came to sports night and we played volleyball and basketball! their date is for the <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_979667706" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">20th of March</span></span>, we will see how it goes. we also got to help our recent convert with some service, we went over and painted a fence with them. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">things here in the mission are going great, i honestly can't believe how fast the time is going and that i only have 4 months left! it hasn't really hit me yet how short of time i have left! it is crazy! </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Anyways, we have two new Elders in the district, Elder Harolds and Elder Larson. Elder Larson was here 6 weeks ago and now he came back, he is from Genola and went to Payson High! Elder Hopkins and i are doing really good! </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Not too much is going on here in Atwater at the moment, but all is well! i love and miss you all! and happy 15th birthday to Brennan yesterday! Hopefully he isn't driving soon, because if he is i am worried for your safety! </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Elder Jensen</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">We finally got to spend some time chatting with Brody today. He seems to be doing great. I thought he was going to be a little down after not getting transferred but he seems to be happy about staying where he is. He asked me how some of you are doing and what was going on here at home. He can't believe how fast the time is starting to go by. He was excited about Karlis game winner at her basketball game. He wanted to know how tall Brennan really is. He was also asking if Camri had made a final decision about college. When Brody has time he always wants to get caught up to speed on whats happening in sports. The weird thing is, he already knows most of it. He has people in his mission that give him the daily Warrior updates. Kind of funny. It was fun to hear from him today. I told him that he better be sending us some pictures next week. He has been slacking on the photos. On to week 85. Thanks for all of your prayers and support for Brody. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Well Hello Everyone, </span><div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">not too much happened this past week. my companion and i were super nervous about transfer calls. we have been together for two transfers and thought that one of us was going to leave for sure. but we got the call and both of us are going to stay! this next transfer is going to be a week longer than the rest! so we are excited to still be together here in Atwater. Atwater is still as crazy as can be! haha there was a house that blew up this past week in Winton... turns out there was a meth lab! not surprising coming from Winton haha. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">this past week in Gospel Principles a member came in and just started throwing down on everyone and it got super heated. i was just in the corner trying not to get involved. the branch up here is super crazy but it makes it fun. there is always something going on and you never know what to expect! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">i got a call last week from Elder Olsen. he told me that no missionaries near him could do a baptismal interview so i drove down to fresno and interviewed three people for their baptism. that was a really neat experience! i have never interviewed that many people back to back. anyways that is about it for this past week. i hope you are all doing well back at home! take care and have a great week! i love and miss you all! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">It was kind of a short week for us as far as talking with Brody. We just talked with him <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1057047600" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Thursday</span></span>. Today was his birthday. We had sent some $ down to Nacho to buy Brody a Birthday Cake. We were able to receive some pictures and video of the party last night. I can't believe Brody is 20. Transfer calls come <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1057047601" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">this Saturday</span></span>. Brody expressed that he is kind of ready to take on a new area but was unsure if he wanted to take the chance on a new companion. His current companion gave him a new tie in the Golden State Warriors colors. Nachos family had dinner and a party for him. I am so thankful to the good people in Livingston and Atwater for taking good care of him. It seems like everywhere Brody has been, he has been able to find a good friend that he can bond with and that puts up with him. Hahaha. Only 4 1/2 months left. On to week 84. Thanks for all of your support..</span></div>
