Elder Jensen gets to wear the "yellow shirt" :)

Hey first of all thank you thank you for your letters!!!! You're the best :) Aw wow that's crazy!!! Can't believe it's that hot, we've hit  104 a few times this week but it's still pretty nice. I'm glad you had a great week, Girls camp sounds like a blast!!! I'm so proud of you, that sounds like the best experience ever. You're the best :) also, that's a great question! So the best way to OYM ("open your mouth") is to just talk to people and get to know them! Ask how they're doing and get to know them, then you just have to find a way to work it into a gospel conversation, there's no magic bullet but it always works as long as long as you listen. There's a promise in PMG where Elder Holland says if we listen no matter what we will find something that highlights a gospel principle. That's the secret, just listening, still working on that myself :) I'm glad you guys are doing well miss you and love you all!!

This week was crazy!!!! So levy is still doing alright, we didn't see him at all this week but it's going bit by bit. We're also still visiting sandys family and now also leirys family too! Her little sister hasn't been baptized so she has a date and we're working to that :) We also found this awesome guy from venezuela named Amelicar! Golden investigator...he read the whole pamphlet we left him and when we came by he taught US the restoration so cool :) he will get baptized not this sunday but the next! Also transfers are not this next week but the week after, so in 2 mondays we'll drop Elder Sharp off at the mission office! So we actually only taught 10 lessons this week because we had a TON of flood service. It was absolutely crazy. So this area just south of us, Rosenburg and Richmond got flooded really bad these last couple weeks so they called in the army of missionaries to help. Our zone and Elder Escobars zone came so we had 50-60 missionaries everyday. It was the same thing over and over again this week. Wake up at 6:30 get dressed, pick up the english elders, drive 45min down to rosenberg, leave headquarters at 8AM and bust houses down from 8AM to 2/3PM then we speed home, shower and go out from 5PM-8PM then go to sleep then restart the next day :) I.AM.SO.TIRED. but its awesome, I love it :) we had such a great time and it's been such a great change of pace to do so much service, awesome week, love it out here :) our zone had a combined 487 hours of service in 3 days! It's been awesome, President Hall even came out this week to help, he was smashing out drywall like a pro! That was really the highlight of the week. And it looks like we'll be on this work rotation for the next 2 weeks (and maybe even longer we'll see) but yeah it was really awesome :) that's the story for this week! Anyways mom I love you so much! Thank you for everything you do for me, I hope that you are doing really good. Love you lots :) miss you lots!!!

Love you,
Elder Jensen
