August 5,2013


Dear Mother,
I have not heard your book of mormon placing story just mention of it. Your new job deffinitly sounds like it would have a story or two. That is so crazy that Emma will be driving when i get back. Not to mention the fact that she will be in High school. Trevor sounds like he is doing well. They both sent me emails this week so that should be good to hear from them. Its nice to hear from them. Im glad things are going well at home even though things might be stressful.
This week we have done lots of walking. We have been imploring the members to help us. They are used to typical thoughts that the missionries are the ones who do the missionary work. As we all think at one moment or the other. We have been working our tails off to try and make some sense out of this ward. We were rewarded with a semi productive ward council meeting yesterday and a baptism. We had been teaching this lady who had depression for a long time. She stopped smoking and drinking coffee and was really excited to be baptized. Then she went traveling for a month. She had originally told us tat it would be fifteen days. So when she didnt come back we got worried. When she returned however she looked happier she had lost weight and was even more excited about the church. So this sunday we had the opportunity to help her come closer to Christ. It is always a pleasure to do so.
So as far as the me getting sick all the time its going to get better. It always happens this time of year in brazil. Everybody gets sick. Because its so dirty here when it rains all the nastiness gets thrown up into the air when it rains. So everybody gets sick. I have decided to do something that has helped all aspects of my life. The only food that i buy is fruits and vegetables. I have lost weight and i feel great about it. Granted its only been about three pounds but its still good to feel light again. Transfers are tomorrow and we are still waiting to see if i will go or not but i dont think i will. Any way whatever happens know that i am well and am serving the Lord the best i can. :)
Love Elder Jensen
