I have had requests for Brian's email address (Steven!) so here it is:
brianjensen@myldsmail.net
We are not sure what the rules for the mission are yet, but I am pretty sure that anyone can email him, he just may not be able to write back. I will update you all when I hear from him!
I know he would LOVE to hear from his friends here at home! :)

Elder Brian Jensen had an awesome experience while working in the RC taking calls.
He got a call from a Pentecostal minister who was calling to request the “Finding Faith in Christ” video. Brian said that they talked for a half hour and found that they had many similar beliefs but the minister just can’t accept that Joseph Smith was a prophet of God. Brian wrote, ” It’s amazing when the spirit works through you to talk to people. It’s kinda sad that people aren’t willing to pray to know that Joseph Smith was a prophet. We talked for half an hour and I asked if I could send missionaries to his house but he said that there was something wrong with his wife and they would be out of town for awhile. But you know me, I tried to talk him into it and I almost convince him but I ended up getting him to allow us to call back later when his wife was better. So we ended there and I said that I would pray for his wife. If nothing else, I hope
I planted a seed.”
He says that next week they would be calling people in Spanish so that would be interesting!
Elder Jensen leaves the MTC for El Salvador on Monday the 24th of November and his family is looking forward to talking to him for a few minutes during his layover in LA.

The MTC is going great! We've had 2 apostles come in the last few weeks: L. Tom Perry and Richard G. Scott! Their talks were awesome. Richard G. Scott's talk was hilarious, and he had a lot of elders and sisters answer questions and he made fun of them a lot. But the apostles are amazing and hopefully we'll get a few more before the end of my MTC visit.
Spanish is going pretty well, we're teaching the first discussion in Spanish now (well, trying to) and it's HARD! But it gets easier every time we give it.
Congrats to Preston for getting your mission call. START STUDYING SPANISH NOW. It will make it so much easier once you are in the MTC.
My companion is still asombroso (that means awesome in Spanish). We go to the Provo temple every friday morning at 7:00, if anyone wants to meet us there:) Fridays are my favorite because we get to go to the temple and then come back and take a nap! And that's good because I've been sick the last few weeks. Here's a tip for anyone coming into the MTC: don't get sick. It makes it so much harder to concentrate during class. But I've made it so far. I'm not dead yet.
Well, that about does it. The church is true, el libro de mormon es asombroso y verdadero, yo se que jose smith fue un profeta verdadero.
Go to church, keep the commandments, and play some Xbox for me!
Hoorah for Israel!
Love, Elder Jensen
