Elder Jensen's group e-mail:
Hello everyone!!! The last couple weeks have been pretty good. I have just been working. We have a lot of investigators progressing that we are looking to baptize soon. So this week we are having a conference with Elder Joaquin Costa he talked in the last conference about how he was dating a girl and she said she would only marry in the temple so he started receiving the missionary visits. It is a great talk, look it up. He is the second counselor of the Brazil area authorities. It will be great to have a visit from him and be spiritually fed!!!! Yesterday we had 10 investigators at church which was so great. We are looking at a baptism this week if everything goes as planned. Today we went and visited a waterfall which was awesome! There are some photos below. One year tomorrow!!! I am so grateful for the opportunity that I have to serve and spread the happiness that this gospel brings. I am happy for the year I had and excited for one more!!
Mom: Oh my Happy HUMP Day! I love that tomorrow is they day. I hope you like the pictures we did. Shad and Tyson stopped by and visited last night. It was so fun to chat with them. I just text Devin to see if he had your release date and he said August 7th of next year but it may change.
Cam: I already know it is different because of a 5 week transfer. It should be July 31st but we will see. I checked Utah State and next year and it starts August 27th. Can you get what needs to be done taken care of?
Mom: That just made my day/month/year!!! I will take you as early as I can get you. There is a total eclipse today. It can be seen at like 95% here. Places in Idaho it is close to 100%. The traffic is horrible and people act like it is the end of the world. It is cool but oh my....
Cam: I hope I can work for a little bit to get some money before school starts. That is cool. Is it going to get completely dark? I haven't heard anything about it here.
Mom: I know Chris misses you and would love to have you. Especially since Tristan will probably be gone on his mission. I will try to take some pictures of the eclipse and send to you.
Cam: I want to come back for Valmir and Edivana's sealing but I don't know if it will work with school and work. I hope.
Mom: I didn't know they had this as a goal. I would love for you to be there. Your knock on their door changed their lives. So, tell me are you glad you chose to serve a mission. What is the most important thing you have learned on your mission this far?
Cam: I am glad I chose to serve and the most important thing is family! I have liked seeing how it has changed Edivana and Valmir's family.
Mom: That is so very awesome... Their marriage, conversion, temple makes your whole mission! Amazing. Is Karla still active or how are things there? Neves got a letter from a college in Illinois to take to the consulate that offers him a scholarship etc.
Cam: No, she has stopped going. I hope Neves comes. He will be like the brother I never had but always wanted.
Mom: He loves you too and acts like he has been in the family forever. I love you and I hope you have a great week. Thanks for opening up and talking with me. It helps my momma heart. Be careful and know I love and miss you.
Cam: Your welcome! I love you and have a good week.
