Hola everyone!!
It sounds like that Thanksgiving went well for everyone! I'm glad that
you all got your feel of turkey, potatoes, stuffing, and gravy. I
wasn't able to have a "traditional" thanksgiving dinner this year, but I
did celebrate the occasion with a yummy chicken sandwich from Wendy's.
I figured that was the most American, bird-meat meal I could get, so I
savored every bite. Yep, thanks Wendy's!
So
this past week has been a big week of teaching, patience, and Christmas
spirit. Elder Morey and I have really jumped into training this past
week, so I've been trying to teach him alot of stuff. He's starting to
get it, I'm just needing alot of patience while he's trying to grasp
ideas, and the process of how things work. But, he's learning and I
think he'll do a good job. Haha, he's not quite as organized as I am,
but I don't think things should get too dis-organized. We've worked on
how cell phones work, the mail system in the mission, and basic usage of
computer programs. He wasn't a big computer person growing up, so we
had to learn how to type, use outlook, and excel. But, it's been a good
experience for both of us; so all it well! Elder Morey is a great
missionary and really wants to finish up his last 7 months strong. So
it's been really fun these past couple of days. Also, I've been listen
to 100% Christmas music now, haha. So I'm really in the spirit of
Christmas!
Today
was a very special day. President Douglas assigned me to take a
missionary down to the temple in Santo Domingo because a family he had
baptized was getting sealed as an eternal family. I felt very
privileged to take him and I was very excited to attend as well; I mean
it's been a year and a half. The session was really good, and I enjoyed
the instruction given during the endowment. It was also really neat to
see that family get sealed as well. I was surprised how simple, yet
powerful the sealing ordinance really is! Witnessing that today has
made me that much more excited and committed to making my eternal
marriage last into the eternities. I'm grateful for the gospel and the
Plan Heavenly Father has created for us! I know that families are
forever and that God has created a way for that to happen. I know that
Jesus Christ is our savior, redeemer, and older brother. He wants us to
succeed and he wants us to be happy. I hope that we can all remember
him during this Christmas season and remember the importance of his
life, and what he's done for us! En el nombre de Jesucristo, Amen.
Happy Holidays everyone! Que vaya con Dios.
Love always,
Elder Jensen
