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....

Here is Elder Jensen's address while he is in the MTC:

ELDER BRIAN LEE JENSEN
MTC Mailbox #131

Provo, UT 84604-1793

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

Update:

There are monkeys in El Salvador!!

Hey Guess What

I'm going to El Salvador Sept. 24th

Judgement Day

So I went to the doctor on Monday for the judgment of my ankle. After a few X-rays and a thorough cleaning of my nasty foot, I learned that it will be ok to walk on in the middle of September. What does this mean mission wise? It looks like I'll only have to delay my mission by one transfer, or 6 weeks. So hopefully this doesn't effect my call... I still don't know for sure, but I do know that once this whole ankle thing is over I'll be very relieved. Above is a picture of my new incision, adding to the one on the other side, which was also re-opened on this last surgery. For the third time...

Fun times at home with a bum ankle

I had a little extra time on my hands as you can see... I'm Pikachu...

Mission Postponed

It seems as though skateboarding after you get your mission call isn't a good idea... Me being almost a professional skateboarder, broke my ankle attempting to drop in on a little ramp. This would be a funny story if it wasn't the second time I've broken the same ankle...and yes I am an idiot in case you were still on the fence. I went into surgery today and it sounds like it's going to take at least half a year to be completely healed...and even then I'll have a limp. It will be a whole year until I have no limitations to my ankle. So I'm still hoping for El Salvador after I heal, but who knows. Maybe I'll end up going to Spanish Fork, Utah like everyone so cleverly joked about before I got my call. I'll keep you (whoever feels like reading my blog) posted on what's going on.

Mission Call

Well I got my mission call to El Salvador, San Salvador East mission. So I decided to create a blog so everyone can keep up with how my mission is going. I leave Aug. 13th to the MTC. After that I'll have my parents post stories, pictures and whatever else they want.
