I've been starting to get emails from a couple of friend who have
finished the mission. It's such a weird thought to read about them
finishing and the first few days after the mission. It seems like we
all just started serving, but it's quickly passing and life is moving
on. Luckily for me, I still have 5 months to serve the Dominican
people. I think they are great people and I'm so happy I was called to
this mission.
So
another week has been put into the record books. It seems like the
weeks are starting to blur together, but all the same something
interesting always happens. So let's see...
Monday,
was a travel day. My companion needed to take some things to some
missionaries in Naverrete and turn over a house back to its owner. So,
we spent a good portion of the day on the road traveling back and forth
between missionaries' houses, and Santiago. It was fun seeing some of
the country side, but I've been there before, so it wasn't anything new.
Tuesday,
President and Sister Douglas had missionary interviews at the office.
So that means tons of missionaries in the office which makes any desk
work really hard to accomplish. But, I did get to talk with some of my
friends, so that was nice. I did use President's Honda Pilot for a
while because I need to fix a flat tire, and change the front tires too.
Let's just say I've never spent so much money on tires in my life,
haha. But, at least President Douglas shouldn't need new tires any time
soon. The Pilot is an interesting car; I feel like it's a command
center or something.
Wednesday,
was the P-day for regular missionaries so we try to be at the office to
help missionaries who come in and need to talk to us or buy things from
the store. Plus, it was a good "catch-up" day on all the little busy
work items we had to do like reports, and stuff. At night though we
taught Omar and Carolina. She's really starting to progress and is
learning so much! We've set a goal to have her get baptized on November 9.
If she can keep praying, reading, and attending church I'm sure she'll
get baptized. The lesson was a great addition to a boring day.
Thursday
was mail day. I spent pretty much the whole day driving around
Santiago getting mail and doing errands for the AP's. I ended up
getting a package for the ward which was very cool! They sent a bunch
of trail mix and other goodies and some blank Christmas cards. Not
exactly sure what they are for, but it was a fun gift!
Friday,
was a busy day. All the mission leaders were in for a meeting and I
was organizing mail. And of course they all need something after the
meeting. It's funny how someone always wants something "now" when
you're right in the middle of something else. I think I finally
understand Mom and Dad when they'd get upset when we'd bug them when
they were working on something, haha. Sorry Mom and Dad! But, I got
all the mail sent off, and nobody left angry so I thinks that's a good
sign.
Saturday
(today), has been a pretty chill day. To tell you the truth I've
actually been kind of lazy today. We cleaned up the house and just
chilled there until now. Now, we're chilling in the office in the land
of A/C.
So,
that's been the week of Elder Jensen. It's full of many adventures and
lots of work. I know this gospel is true and I love being a
missionary! Jesus Christ lives and he is our savior. He knows us each
personally and can walk with us when no one else can. This is his
church and we should all go forward sharing this wonderful gospel with
others. I hope we can all be examples of the believers and do some
good! En el nombre de Jesucristo, Amen.
Have an excellent week everyone!! Que vaya bien.
Love,
Elder Jensen
