Monday, December 19th

Hello everyone, this week was good. Nothing special happened. We had our ward Christmas party Saturday night and it was awesome to get together with the ward. Sunday was the primary program and it was great! The kids were hilarious.  One little kid had a lot of parts and when she got up another little boy said, "Ugh, not again". Everyone laughed. I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and all stay safe and keep warm. 

Love,

Elder Jensen

I had a bat under our patio cover type of deal and I was elected to get it out. So... this was me preparing. It left on its own so that was nice. 

My companion and I bought us soda for 7.0 that is imported from the U.S..  I had Dr. Pepper which was greatly missed. Then it was this girl in our wards birthday and we had cake with them yesterday. 

Then it was this girl (Ana) in our wards birthday and we had cake with them yesterday. 

Cameron and I discussed skyping which is in 6 days! I set up his account and mine and made sure it worked by skyping Latisha!  We both learned a little and hopefully can put this into action for our boys this Sunday! We planned for us to go to church  from 11:30 to 12:30 and then skype at 1:30. Cameron wanted to know if I was still doing the Christmas Eve Party and when the Gundersons were going to Maddox for their traditional Christmas Dinner. It made my heart hurt to think he was thinking about what he was missing.  I told him that the best part of Christmas would be talking to him and the other celebrations wouldn't be the same. Cameron told me not to worry about him and to have a good time.  I explained that I would enjoy the family and the time but that he is my son and I will always care and worry about him.

I told Cam that Tyson and Shad came out Sunday.  They were in their church clothes and visited for a while.  It was nice to have them.  They both said that they weren't dating serious...  They were both headed to the BYU game in San Diego tomorrow.  Not together though.  Tyson was going with his brother and his grandparents.  Shad was just going with friends.  They said Nicole was moving to Logan but they didn't know about work or school really yet.

I told him the ward party was on Tuesday and it was the usual crazy dinner with kids running all over the place.  Fun though. 

I told Cam that Michelle said she sure misses Logan and hopes that it gets better and she asked me if it got better.  I said yes but no.  It is the hardest thing ever but worth it.  I am sure that she missed her other boys too but where Logan has basically been the only child for them for a long time and to have such a quiet home now.  UGH!

I reminded Cameron how it was Chance's b-day the 16th and cute Isabelle still misses and is in love with the boy.  They were hoping to finish Shad and Chloe's house by the beginning of December.  They are still working on it but the wedding is the 29th and they will be done by then.  So exciting.  I told him how Latisha and I were going to try to skype each other so we are pros at it.  HA!  Old ladies trying out technology...

I ended with: I LOVE YOU.  I will e-mail more but I want to practice skyping so I can for sure see you in 7 days!!!

Love you, MOM

The ward gave the missionaries a gift for Christmas... They all look very happy!  Cameron told us they call him galego which is cracker in Portuguese. By looking at this picture I'm thinking I may know how they came up with this! Ha!
