Good Zone Conference

Hello! Man I know what you mean, it feels like every week is going by fast. There are only 4 more weeks in this transfer! Crazy!

That’s cool the ward mission seems to be way on top of everything, that’s awesome, with the ward correlation mtg (dang mom you're so gansta) and all the baptisms, that’s way awesome! You’re on fire, keep up the good work.

About the burning, so that used to be a tradition but! it has been shut down by our mission president that we shouldn’t continue with it so nope no burning for me lol. So ya my new comp Elder Mullenbach, he is a good guy.

Man that’s so crazy, school is out. Sounds fun. Tell Clara to go get a job lol. Well everything is going good here we need referrals! lol Robin, the 70 year old is still doing good. She has an awesome testimony. She is taking this seriously so that is good.

We had a Zone Conference on Monday and Elder Shumway from the Second Quorum of the Seventy came, so that was pretty cool. He talked about bearing down in pure testimony and justice and mercy it was really good. He was a really goofy guy, I thought it was going to be all serious and stuff but it was really relaxed. It was good!

Well I better get going. Have a good week and love you all.

(That’s what these cool kids in my ward call me. They’re 6 and 8.lol It’s pretty sweet)

Getting Hot

Well hello there! Sounds like things are going good in Meddy, same with here in Denver. So ya my day is good, today actually isn’t our p-day we had it on Monday cuz it was Memorial Day, so ya but we are allowed to email today. The week has been going good too, I have a new companion his name is Elder Mullenbach and he is from San Antonio, Texas. Pretty cool. He has been out 3 months so he is pretty green lol

That’s way cool, Clara got her license, way cool. So is she driving the truck? Awesome.

That’s way fun that you guys got to go to the coast. That sounds like fun. Man its getting hot out here and it’s always fun to be in pants and a tie on your bike when its 90 degrees out side. lol I’m not gonna lie, some of those pools we ride by at like apartments look pretty inviting. lol

That’s cool Syd is playing the guitar, I’m jealous. I’m sure she will be better then me when I get back I’m like no good now. lol I need to practice. lol

But anyways I don’t know, not a lot of news. Things are going good here we have that one investigator.
So that’s great but we really need some referrals from our ward. lol We need more solid investigators. That’s way cool you guys have a baptism this week that’s awesome. Well I better get going, have a great week. Love ya

Birthday in the Mission Field

Hey yup you got your email out in time :) lol
Oh so ya about that money lol wow you noticed that already? lol Dang you’re good. So I bought myself a b-day present, a new camera. Mine was kinda being lame, the buttons were broken. I will have to send you guys some of the videos we have taken, this camera is way cool, it takes high speed video. It can take video at 1000 frames per second! Crazy huh? Like a good normal camera can do like 25 or so. So, with this you can do way, way slow-mo like water splashing, rain, and like when you throw keys in the air, it just looks like they’re floating, it’s way cool!

Man I can’t believe school is almost out, that is crazy. So when is Clara’s driving test? That is soon right? Let me know how that goes. That’s cool Luce got to come home for a while, I bet that was nice. And ya I got my package. Thanks so much. I like the tie alot and the shirts are perfect, thanks.

Man it was totally a record for most mail for me on my b-day, I got 8 letters! Crazy huh? One from Susie and Phil, aunt Deb, Gma Carol, Sis. Johnson, the Crows, and a few others, pretty cool.

Oh man, I have forgotten to tell you like the last 8 weeks. I have forgotten but it was the weirdest thing, back when I was in Grand Junction and with Elder Welch. We were walking around Wal-Mart on p-day and this guy walks by us and says, “Hey Elders” and I look at him and I’m like wait, I think I know that guy. He kinda looks like Corey Johnson from my home ward. I tell Elder Welch and he is like, ya right what ever, and I’m like no for reals. So I run back after him and I just say his name loud so if it’s him he will turn around and if not then I don’t look stupid. lol But it was totally him, he is in the singles ward down there. Well I guess he is getting married soon but ya way crazy huh!

And another thing I keep forgetting to tell you is!!!! I had avocado eggrolls a few weeks ago! We went to the Cheesecake Factory and it was delicious! So so good! So ya I just need to tell you that lol.

Anyways things are good. Transfers are tomorrow and my comp Elder Larmouth is getting transferred. I’m getting a fairly new missionary; it’s a follow up training assignment, so that will be fun. So I get him tomorrow. Fun stuff.

So ya that’s about it things are good we have that one investigator, Robin Davis that is 70 and she is getting way close to baptism, she is so ready. We have an appt with her tonight so that will be good. Well I better get going. Dang this is way long. Love you all, have a good week!

Wicked in Common

Hey there family, so ya things are going good here as usual. Ya I didn’t get your email last week mom, so ya I just read it. That sounds fun about you and Clara going to see Wicked. I was just talking to a lady the other day about that. We actually were tracting this apartment complex and saw some people loading up a big moving trailer, so we offered to help them. Anyways, she had a Wicked poster signed by the cast and I told her about how I went and saw it and going into the show I wasn’t too excited about it, but I had three sisters that really wanted to go. So I was like ok whatever lol and then came out thinking it was way awesome so ya that was cool. It was neat to help her out too. She was definitely short handed and afterwards she took us to Applebees! Yum and we got to discuss the gospel with her and hooked her up with the missionaries in the town she was moving to, so they could help her unload everything. It was neat.

But anyways, it sounds like you guys are all staying busy! That’s good, me too. lol Elder Larmouth isn’t totally over it but he is good enough to go out and work, so that is cool.

Oh man did I tell you about my bike? lol So me and my comp decided to "murder out" our bikes, meaning black on black. lol So we took everything apart, like down to just the frame of the bike during lunch and stuff then sanded down our frame and bought some flat black spray paint. lol So ya it looks pretty sweet. lol Everything is black. I’ll have to show you a picture. Sorry dad lol I know you don’t really like flat black lol. But anyways that was fun.

Things are good with the work, we have a baptism this Sunday, and so that is cool and hopefully one shortly after that. So things are good. Well I better get going. Sorry I’m short on time today we are going to a Rockies game so that’s should be fun. But I love you all! Have a good week!

Catch-Up April Letters

April 22, 2009

Hey there, yup back in Denver. Elder Bragg is a zone leader now, I don’t know if you heard, so that’s pretty cool. But the area is pretty good; I’m still trying to figure it out. Last week was stake conference, which was really good. But I have only been to Sacrament once and the bishop wasn’t there when I went, but I met him at stake conf. But I didn’t even know he was the bishop till after talking to him lol.

My comp has been sick! It has been way lame so we have been in the house since like Saturday! I was going crazy just sitting in the house all day for that long. He is just starting to get better today. So that is good, man I’ve listened to so many talks and read so much scriptures lol but I’m definitely ready to get out of the house lol.

So ya I will get to go to the temple the first Wednesday of the month so that will be really cool, I missed that from just the 3 months I was out west.

One thing we have done to make investigators feel welcomed, was just introduced the investigator to everyone at church, just everyone that walks by grab them and say, hey have you met our investigator, Soandso this is Bro. Jenson and kinda force the ward to get to know them and then hopefully by doing that they will meet someone that shares some interests and will be a good fellowshipper, but ya that is tough.

Oh remember the Margaritas that I was teaching? Well they are getting baptized and asked me to give a talk at the baptism since I’m so close, so that is cool! I will get to go to that, they are way awesome! Did I tell you they sent me a package when I was out west with a whole bunch of Mexican candy and a really nice note thanking me for bringing them the gospel? It was really cool, they are awesome. Well I better get going things are going good, have a good week!

Well hello there family! So I totally got transferred, I’m back in Denver! k so I was in the Crestmoor ward when I was in Denver and now I’m in the Bible Park ward, which is just south of Crestmoor. We boarder the Crestmoor ward so its kinda crazy, I’m like back in the same spot and so its cool cuz I know my way around and everything. It’s kinda weird to be back here again. So and there was a family in the Crestmoor ward I think I talked a little about them, the Browns, they are way cool and so I am now living with their parents. So I live with the browns if that makes sense. So the Browns that I know came over and said hi and stuff it was cool. So but the Browns that I live with are like in there 60s or so and they are real cool and the best thing is they buy us food! We just get to eat whatever we want and there is always food in their house and free laundry! Cool huh! So ya they’re cool and my companion is Elder Larmouth he is from Snowflake Arizona and we are brothers! lol He was trained by Elder Craft too. Pretty cool lol. He is fun. We are on bikes here and he likes to bike and I do to so we are always finding cool jumps and stuff its cool.

K so ya, I saw that I missed the package when they tried to deliver it, but after I left they got it for me and they zl's that I lived with had to come down to Denver for ZLC's (zone leader conference) so I told them to bring it for me and then they gave it to my new zls and they gave it to me last night so I got it! Oh man and it was Bevans that signed not Evans he was my mtc companion. He lives in my old place now so ya. Kinda fun. So ya man thanks so much it’s so nice! It’s not the like brown stripped one I thought it was gonna be. But it fits perfect and ya lol cuz my other black one that I have had since I was like 17 is like way nasty looking and uhhh on Thursday my first night here E. Larmouth made me jump a fence and I totally caught my blue suit pants on the suit and ripped like a 6 inch hole in the knee sooo ya lol. Wow and that is way crazy about tax returns. That’s sweet.

Hey Grand Junction is doing good, I think it is finally spring, it has been really nice like high fifties its beautiful, lol

k so I have been in Grand Junction for two transfers now so when I got here I was with Elder Qaravanua, then he got transferred and I am with Elder Welch, now and the transfer is over now, so I just found out last night that I’m getting transferred! So I need to pack my bags and I leave Thursday morning. So ya pretty crazy stuff, we will see where I go now if I stay out west or if they send me back to metro. So ya does all that make sense now? lol

Man that’s crazy about Elder Phillips. I’m surprised he recognized you lol that’s crazy fun stuff.

So ya I got to see all the sessions, what? no fair you had the missionaries over for crepes! psh we weren’t aloud to go over to members houses to watch it. We had to go to the stake center. But ya conference was way good I enjoyed it a lot. I love listening to Elder Holland speak, I love how emotional he is, like he really means what he is saying. I really liked Elder Uchtdorfs talk in priesthood too. He is another one that is really easy to listen to, but it was all very good.

Well I’m kinda excited to get transferred. I like the area alot the ward is really awesome, but it will be fun to meet new people I kinda like that feeling of like being lost and not knowing were anything is and get to know the area and all the people. Well I’d better get going, I gotta pack! Blah by far my least favorite thing about transfers is packing. Well I’ll let you know were I end up and my new address and everything. Hope your all hanging in there and hope you know I love you all. Have a good week!

Hey there family, sorry about last week we didn’t have much time on the computer and I had alot to say in my presidents letter so ya. Well sounds like you had fun in Utah that’s cool. The weather here has been way weird too, it will randomly snow its crazy lol you never know what to expect. But ya hav

So ya my comp right now is Elder Welch. He is from Vegas lol so he drives on the same side of the road as us I think. lol jk So transfers is this next Thursday like the 6th I think, so that is crazy I’m thinking me and Elder Welch will both stay but idk we will see.

Oh ya I sent Britt a letter and wrote the whole thing with my left hand cuz I "broke" my right arm. It was pretty cool. It’s way hard to write with my left hand lol.

So is winter pretty much done over there? I think it should be wrapping up here soon, but ya no flowers are out yet here, lol and uh I’m not to sure if there are the same trees here I don’t really notice I guess but I do remember in the fall all the awesome colors which we do have in Medford so ya. Well ya things are still going good. We have a pretty decent teaching pool right now lots of re-activating in this ward. But things are going good, that’s still crazy Clara is driving that’s weird lol. Well I hope you’re all doing good and know that I love you! Have a good week!

Full Sunday

Hey there! Sounds like you’re all doing good and keeping busy. Dang that is so crazy, Clara is 16, and still crazy that Syd is 14, dang is that right? Man. Time flies when you’re having fun. I hit my 8 month mark on Monday, that means I’m 1/3 of the way done. It’s so crazy, it feels like I just got here last month. It makes me realize how fast time goes and how short my time here in Colorado really is, and that I need to do my best and make every minute worth while so I can look back on my mission without any regrets.

Anyways, sounds like your way busy mom and that’s cool, it’s good to get food dropped off every once in a while for dinner. Dang I haven’t had Chinese in forever.

So me and Elder Welch are doing good, we get along great. He is super sarcastic like me, lol so its fun. Today is his b-day, he is 20, so we are celebrating by going to Chickfillet. lol Pretty fancy huh? lol


Oh, so on Sunday me and Elder Welch spoke. We were supposed to speak with this guy Travis that is going to Denmark on his mission he is really cool, I like him a lot. So it was suppose to be his farewell. He was supposed to go into the MTC today but on Friday he got a call from Salt Lake saying he doesn’t report to the MTC till May 13. So he has to wait like 9 more weeks. Isn’t that a bummer! They didn’t say why either, so now he is just chillen. So we were supposed to speak with him, but since he didn’t leave, it was just me and Elder Welch! And of course they didn’t let us know we had to fill the whole time until after PEC, with about 20 mins till sacrament. lol So that was cool, but it went really well. I enjoyed speaking. I spoke on prayer, it was cool. lol Then we had to teach the Gospel Essentials class that day too. lol So it was a fun Sunday.

Well everything is going good here in Junction. I’m staying busy of course. Hope you’re all hanging in there and have a good week!

Answer to Prayer

Hey there! Well not a lot new here in the GJ5th Ward things are still going good. I got my new comp, his name is Elder Welch. He is from Las Vegas. He has been out about five months. He is a good kid and good missionary; he is really goofy like me so we get along great, so that is good.

But let’s see, so it was really cool, on Monday Elder Welch and I were riding our bikes to go tracting and this truck was pulled over and these two Mexican guys were there and they were like telling us to stop. One guy about my age was like really excited to see us and you could tell he really wanted to just talk with us but he didn’t know English and lol I don’t know Spanish. But he told us he is Mormon and just moved here from Mexico and didn’t know where the church was around here. It was funny and he was talking to someone on the phone, in Mexico I think, and he was like here she is Mormon too, say hi. lol So we were like uh hi lol to the phone. But anyways, so I gave him the phone number to the Spanish Elders in our area and told him to call them and then we went on our way. But then the next day I talked to the Spanish Elders and asked if they got a call from him and they were like oh that was you, ya. I guess the guy from Mexico has been trying to find the church here but didn’t know where it was, so the night before he ran into us he knelt down and said a prayer, asking our Heavenly Father to lead him to the church or help him find it, and the next day he finds us. He is 20 and preparing to serve a mission. It was really awesome to be an answer to someone else’s prayer, its amazing how the Lord uses us as a tool to bless others. Well I better get going. I love you all and hope you’re all doing good!
