#4-Mountain View Gang

 What's up everyone?!


This email will be pretty short because I was traveling today and my P-Day is almost over. And by the way my P-Days will be on Tuesday in the field.

The last week of the MTC was good. We had a devotional with Sister Amy Wright of the Primary Presidency. She spoke on leaving on a mission one way and then coming back a changed person. 

Other than that. The rest of the MTC was basically the same. We would go to classes and do a whole lot of practice. 

Today we checked out of the MTC and boarded buses and trains to get to the airport. It was fun to eat some really good food. Not that the MTC food was terrible but Cafe Rio is just that good. Our flight was delayed an hour and a half so we got into Vegas late. We quickly went to the mission office and had a quick lunch and met with President and Sister Nielson. I can already tell I'm going to learn a lot from them. 

And now for the title. I got to meet my trainer and it's Elder Dyson Judd who went to my high school. He was in my freshman seminary class. He is a Spanish speaking elder but President Nielson told him he'd speak English this transfer and he was so confused until he found out he'd be training me. I super excited because I've heard he's a fantastic trainer and I'm ready to get to work!

Have a great week!
Elder Jensen

Sorry for the lack of photos today has been a busy day. We ran out of spoons so I had to use this flosser to eat my ice cream.

Dear Brother and Sister Jensen,

 

Your son has arrived here in the Las Vegas Nevada West Mission.  Here are photos for you.  One with the Mission President and Sister Nielsen, one of all the missionaries that came in today and one of your son with his companion.

 

It was a long and busy day for him but we are so grateful to have him here in this mission.  This will be a great experience for him and you will see many blessings come into your lives as your son serve here with us.

 

Sister Rands

Mission Secretary

#10 Transfers and Dia de la Familia

  Andrew Jensen Oct 15, 2024, 6:51 PM (3 days ago) to  ande0822 , bcc:  me What's up everyone?! I hope you all had a fantastic last week. Mine was very eventful so let's get into that. First I'll start with the transfer news. Both me and Elder Judd were sorta transferred. He is now a zone leader and he has one of our wards (Alexander) and a Spanish ward. I have our other ward (Painted Desert) and then Mountain Crest. My wards are in two different stakes which is weird for my mission. My new companion is Elder Hansen. This transfer should be pretty good. It's also different because it's only 5 weeks because of Thanksgiving so it'll be pretty fast. I'm sad that I'm leaving my papi Elder Judd but Elder Hansen will be a great companion. This past transfer had been hard to find lessons, but this week we had so many miracles. We met new friends who are awesome and very interested in progressing. We had some great lessons this week. The best one was with this o...

#5-Viva Las Vegas

 What's up everyone!? This past week has definitely been crazy! There's been a lot that was good and a lot that was hard, but I guess that's missionary work for you. If you didn't hear last week, my first companion is Elder Judd who I went to high school with. It's been really fun to talk about home with him. He thinks it's really crazy that when he tells his stories I actually know who he's talking about   My first area is in the Meadows stake which is northwest Las Vegas. We cover two wards in that stake. If you guys have never been to Las Vegas and you want to know what it's like, just imagine Idaho, but like 10-15 degrees hotter and where you see grass, instead picture rocks and dirt. Other than that it's not too different from what I know. But the drivers are a lot crazier which has made for some fun car rides. But I guess I have seen a bit of grass because one area is a little more wealthy so they can afford to care for grass. Also most of the ...
