Oct 10
So this week was pretty awesome, we got to listen to General conference!! I didn't get to sing in the choir though, so if any of you say you saw me, you are mistaken! There was a woman speaker in the Sat. morning session that was from El Salvador! She gave an awesome talk about missionary work, but I'm sure if I heard any talk about missionary work right now I would think it was awesome! :) But I loved all the talks as well.
MTC is going good, we do solamente espanol every other day, which means we only speak spanish the whole day...or at least we try. My companion is the bomb! His name is Elder Pahulu. He is Tongan. He's from Florida. He's tite.
Pretty much the MTC is repetitive so if all my letters sound the same it's because we have been doing the same exact thing over and over. But it's awesome! I'm learning a ton. The church is true.
Stay golden ponyboyl
Hoorah for Israel!
For all you following Elder Jensen's blog: Sorry! I am a couple of weeks behind but I thought you might get a kick out of his last couple of letters, so here goes....

I finally made it to the MTC!


Hola! My mission is going awesome so far! I've been in the MTC for a little over a week, but it feels like I've been here forever. Which is a good thing because I'm learning so much! The MTC es loco. It's like EFY on 'roids. We study 13 of the 16 hours we are awake every day. And there aren't too many distractions thankfully. I've learned so much in the gospel and grown a ton. I've also learned a lot of spanish.I can now pray, bear my testimony, and set up appointments in spanish. All in a week and a half! It's insane the things you can learn when you constantly have the spirit with you. Well, I hope you all are having fun at home without me. See you in 2 years!

Love,
Elder Jensen
