JENSEN, ETHAN

This week was pretty fun and full of the spirit. We had a zone conference this Friday which made me think allot about my goals and what I want to take from this mission. They talked allot about the difference between the law of sacrifice and the law of concercration. I don't know if I spelled that right but whatever. It reminded me of the talk by elder Holland about not checking your religion at the door. I don't really remember what it was called but he basicly said that the covanents we make to God in the church shouldn't be forgoten or we shouldn't act differently because of where we are or the people we are around. We should always act and be disciples of christ and strive to follow his example in everything that we do. The law of concercration is difficult and almost seems like asking to much. But that is the reason we are all here on the earth. If we fail, we just keep moving forward and try again and try to be better. If you need an example of a someone to follow...

Hey everyone,   I've had a pretty busy week. Me and my comp weren't supposed to be moved but we are now in a trio so we had to move out of our hotel last minute. Don't get excited, we're still in a hotel, but this one has bunkbeds!! It has a lot more room than the last hotel. But we're really far away from everything, so that is a little annoying. But it's all good, the trio is really fun and it gives me more practice with Spanish 'cause my comps only speak to each other in Spanish.   It started to snow a little bit more this week but it's kind of the boring snow that you can't make any snowballs out of it so it's not as fun as you'd think it is.   We had a really cool teaching experience with two brothers who live together. We got a referral from Mexico who turned out to be their dad. He basically told us to go baptize them. They spoke English better than they did Spanish so we did our lesson in English. It was really cool because when we go...

Hey!! This week was a little slow. That's only because we had so many people cancel on us which was really frustrating. We had so many stuff schedual and we were so excited but only a few of them happened. It's ok because the few that happened were some of my favorite lessons. We had another lesson with the mom from last week. She has a date to get married and a date to get baptised now and it made us soo excited because we were getting ready to leave her alone to figure stuff put with her filter husband but now everything is awesome with them. For now. He doesn't want to get baptised but at least he's being supportive now.  Our ward is so awesome, we have the best ward leaders who help us so much. We get allot of support from Obispo Lopez and his counselors. They always love to attend lessons with us and talk to all of the people coming to church to make them feel at home.  I'm getting better at Spanish I think. I have jumped into conversations more and more when I...
