Dear mom,

I am working on getting the letters sent. I planned on doing it yesterday for pday but we had to take a 2 hour bus ride to have a zone meeting with the president. It was really cool and we learned a few tips. Now we are supposed to walk with a book of mormon in hand everywhere. So i then planned on mailing the letters today while we were out. But we decided it was time to clean the house. We literally cleaned every corner. We moved beds and the couch the fridge and oven everything. So that only took about 6 hrs. So my pday is shot. But whatever i will get them out. Tell Frank that i will send it very soon and it will still probably take another few weeks for it to get there. We only get mail everytime we have a zone meeting. Which is generally every couple of weeks.


As far as wild dogs yes there are a lot of them and they even travel in packs. But i have no problem with them. They are all more or less afraid of humans. I saw those pictures and am impressed with the turf. Yes colony deffinitely needs to fork out the dough for an ambulance. I thought that Jerry was going to be done with all that last year? He said last year was a liquidation too. Oh well. Yea it took a while for my first paycheck to come through at the theater too. Im suprised that they dont let you do movie previews at the theater. Thats supposed to be one of your perks. Huh it doesnt sound like that new guy is very nice. I told you working at the theater was hard. You guys always said
Come on how hard can it be to make popcorn ;)
Well speaking literally yes these are pretty big shoes to fill. :) Oh speaking of which could i get you to send me a pair or two of new pants? I have already ripped a hole in one of my pairs. Stupid public transport busses.


Anyway yes we have people that are so close to baptism. A lot of people just need to get married. We taught a family that hasnt gone to church in 4 years because they think that all the churches are false. We told them that we had a message for them about this exact thing. We then taught them the lesson about the restoration and the spirit was really strong. They seemed very welcoming to the news and seemed excited to investigate the church. But its been a couple of weeks and they have yet to go to church. They said that they were travelling when we finally did find them.


 I cant believe that Hayden is coming home so soon. It seems like he just left! But then again things are passing by really fast here too. In three days i will have been out for four months. Ive gotten a couple emails from Tammy root and they say that they are building a new house. That should be a fun adventure for them. Seth says he leaves for the Air Force here in the next month or two. Thats gotta be fun for him.



Anyway i gotta run. Love you all and i promise i will send those letters.


Love
Elder Jensen
