April 23, 2018

Hey everyone so this week was fun! I got to do a division with Dunn that was way fun. We took some trail and ended up in a way cool place we caught some crabs and the tried to get coconuts. It was the best division ever, hahahahahaha. Some kid made me a crown in his primary and gave it to me. He is the coolest little kid ever. His name is Pedro Henrique he's awesome. I have a total of 92 days left so that is crazy! Dunn and I bought matching ties for the conference and we have matching gold chains. Just stuff like that to make the mission fun. love and miss you all​











Elder Cameron L. Jensen,

How was your week? I was so upset I missed when Cliseanne tried to "whatsup" me.  She sent cute pictures of you though.  

So let's see on Monday after school the girls and I went over to Logan.  Halle had a dermatologist appointment.  We asked grammy to go too.  We went to the doctor and then went to the mall. Halle needed new pants because she got dress coded on a pair she has holes in.  Annie needed to get her and her MORP date shirts because the dance was last night.  Then, we went to Kneaders for dinner.  We came home and Andrew had spent two hours at our house doing homework and dad had loaded cows for to sale.

Tuesday the girls started cheer practice.  Teresa Wyatt asked me to work like a Saturday a month for her so I stopped at TreeBee and chatted with her.  Dad was on swings and goes through the weekend because he starts weekends this week.  I had a camp meeting at Jenny's house. Ashley Reeder left early to go to home so Jed could play basketball for the city league.  He ended up breaking his leg really bad.  He had to go in the ambulance and then had surgery on it at LDS hospital.  His foot was just dangling and even going the wrong way.  I took them dinner last night with Joanna.  

Wednesday not too much happened.  Young Women's was a dance night with Corinne 1st ward.  Since dad worked I just didn't go. Annie didn't want to go either.  Halle stayed home from hers to do homework.

Thursday Annie worked.  Halle and I were home.  I picked her up from cheer since Annie had to go straight to work.  

Friday Halle went to Sami's right after school.  Annie worked and so did dad.  I washed the Pilot and got gas so Annie could use on Saturday for date to the zoo and Morp dance oh and Ogden dinner.  These dates are just a bit crazy.  I cleaned the house and listened to "The Greatest Showman" music.  It is a movie(musical) that just came from the theaters on to dvd and etc.  Even the guys like it.  

Saturday Todd Jensen put a lot of work into getting a reunion put together for Great Grandpa Jensen's 110th birthday.  We ate lunch, took pictures, and they went to see houses that their family had lived in but we came home because dad had work.  People came out and dad gave horse carriage rides and people rode the 4 wheelers. Annie had MORP.  They went to the zoo and Chick Filet.  Then they got pictures, went to Ogden to eat, and then went to the dance and then Amelia Coles house.  Annie had a great time and Mallorie took Brock.  Dad didn't get home until 4am because of like 4 different situations.  

Sunday when he got home at 4am I told him I would teach his primary class and he said no I will be there.  Well, we woke up and all got ready and dad was out cold.  I turned his phone off and left him a note that if he didn't show up, I would teach his class.  He text towards the end of sacrament and took me up on in and went back to bed for another hour.  Mandy (bishop's wife) sat in with me so I wasn't alone.  For the laurels and priests President Steed came and talked about patriachal blessings.  We came home and ate and ran down to see the new baby colt before dad left for work.  She is so cute.  I sent you pictures.  I feel like she looks like a giraffe with her long legs... ha!  Bott visited today.  Shad text me to see if we got your travel information.  He flies in from San Diego on the 24th.  Briar's family got his information for the 18th.

Candace said you invited them out on Mother's Day.  That was nice of you and they have never have came to skype you yet.  We told Brock to stop by and Andrew and Chance too. It will feel so good to know this is it and the next time we see you it will be in person!!!

It was a good day at church.  Devin and Ryan spoke and did a great job.  Carson Lancaster and Neila Mortensen did too and they did a great job too.  Andrew came out and did some homework.  We ate some asparagus today.  Do you remember what that tastes like?  

I had to hack into your gmail account to get your USU password reset and after all this I found the paper in your room yesterday.  So I changed your gmail password to the same as your LDS email.  I think you should look into International Business.  You basically have a lot of the requirements done.  You will need to take a math placement test when you get home for math.  If you still remember it your 1050 class will work and if not you have to start over. They have your USU account on hold because of orientation.  They said mission presidents usually let you have time to do it on the computer but I can just do it for  you too.  What would you rather?  I need to get your registered by the end of this month though.  Good thing I started early.  I thought it would just take a few minutes.  Dad had me put in for the UHP scholarship again for you.  It doesn't hurt to try.  

I love you son!  I hope you are smiling and making the best of the next few months.  You will never get the opportunity to do this part of your life again and it will be one of the more influencial and important parts.  Time has to pass whether we are positive or not.  I am glad you have so much love for the people there and that they can count on you.  You are my little baby skunk!

Love ya lots!

Mommm, mommy, mom, momma, MOM

Mom:  Where are you Cam?  I am starting to worry...  O.K., I started a long time ago but now it is getting serious... How was your week?

Cam:  Hi, I am here now.  Sorry, I was getting my hair cut and playing basketball.  My week was really good!

Mom: Finally!  Can you tell me 3 things about why this week was so good?

Cam:  I did divisions with Dunn, worked hard, and had fun doing it!

Mom:  Well, I like that information!

We continued talking about college and etc.  blah.... blah...

Cam:  I love you mom.  I have to go now.

Mom: I love you Cam.  I am proud to be your mom.  Be careful and have a good week!

April 16, 2018

Hey Elder Jensen,

This week we only had 2 days of school. Tuesday the 2nd grade went on a walking field trip to the park. Kyra is my intern so she came. It was good. I spent Monday and Tuesday cleaning, doing laundry, and packing for out Texas trip. Last spring break didn’t feel so weird when we went to St. George with Craynor girls but this spring break my heart was sure missing a child.

It was fun! My favorite thing was Magnolia Market. Chip and Joanna Gaines a cute Christian family with 4-5 kids and one on the way buy houses and flip them. They made it big on HGTV and have a market in Waco that’s famous. We saw Cole Curtis family there... Ha! The chances?!?!  We saw Jeff and Jenny Adams and Vicki and Sabrina Burt at the Alamo.  Crazy...  River Ward, Spring Break...

Dad is working hard as always.  He really seems to do a lot more on the farm than he use to but he enjoys it and I think grandpa appreciates all he does.  There are baby calves and they are so cute.  It was nice to have your dad for 5 days and just enjoy his company with the girls.  We all get caught up in life and it felt good to just hang.  EXCEPT we all talked about you and missed you very much!

Grammy took Reeses and I think will hate to see him go. I wish should get a dog. Bott is staying at the house. 

Marge is doing better from surgery. That’s good news! Grammy seems to be doing better from shingles too! Both grandpas are good and still silly.

We have a Jensen family reunion and genealogy day next Saturday. I hope it turns out ok.

Let me know if Vitor needs anything he isn’t telling me about. I’ll feel better when all this works out... Hopefully soon!

I’ve started with your college stuff but with a short week last week, didn’t accomplish a lot.

I love you and miss you soooo much! Keep a positive attitude because it not only effects you but those you are with and come in contact with! I love you to the moon!  I love the gospel and I have a testimony that this church is the only true church!!!

Mom

Cameron:  This week I don't have much time so I will just be able to send this email.  This week we had zone conferences and I had to give a training with Elder Duarte about marking baptism to like 60 missionaries.  It went well.  Then, Thursday night we met with the stake president to talk about things we are going to do to strengthen the stake and all that stuff.  It went well.  Later we had karyoke for a ward activity and I sang.  HA!HA!HA! Me and another missionary sang Paradise by Cold Play and The Baby by Justin Beiber. Everybody loved it.  We had a missionary devotional last night that went really well.  Love you!  Sorry for the short time.  Have a good week!

Mom:  I love you Cam!  Why so fast and short?

Cam: It is zone p-day and we are going to play basketball and sports.

Mom:  Oh fun!  Where do you play?

Cam:  At the church.

Mom:  What do you think of the new bishopric?

Cam:  The new bishopric is cool.

Mom:  Ya, I am happy! Bott stayed here while we were gone.  He's a good boy.  He will be such a great and faithful husband to some lucky gal.  I miss you and I can't wait until the next time I am at the airport because it will be to hug you!

Cam:  YEP! 99 days today!

Mom:  Oh, how that day is going to be a happy day!  I talked to Vitor a bit yesterday.  We are just waiting for his eligibility for the NAIA but as far as the college, everything is a go as soon as this is taken care of.  Do you still talk to him?

Cam: I talk to him all the time.

Mom:  Is he doing o.k.?

Cam: Ya, it is just hard here in Brazil.  It isn't like home.  I hope he can have a better future.

Mom:  I'm trying and doing what I can Bubba.

Cam:  I know and thank you!

Mom:  I told you I would help him as much as I could because it meant so much to you.  I LOVE you and moms do that.  I kinda love that kiddo too.  I am going to drive to school.  I will see if you are still on when I get there.  I love you and have a great week son!

Cam: I love you too.





April 2, 2018

Mom:  We watched conference this weekend.  I always love Conference Weekend.  It was kinda cool having it on Easter.  We had lunch at Val's and everyone came except Crystal and Cody.  I did the egg hunt for grammy this year.  She just hasn't felt well with shingles and all...  I really enjoyed doing it.  It was good to see Marti and his family.  I sure miss him being in my life more.  Sara will start to rodeo soon.  JD has a game here in a week.  I am excited to go watch him.  Luke is working at Smith's and he really is maturing.  It is weird to see them all grow up.  Especially Aiden and Hadlee.  

Mom:I am just am thinking of you while I watch conference. Last EASTER without you home! Last conference without you home! I love you! Marilia is messaging me right now. Ha! She’s a cutie...

Cameron:Easter looks like it was fun. Who made cheer?

Mom:  Annie, Halle, Sammy, Megan, Bryanne, Haley M., Izabel, Ashlyn, Kylee, Mallorie, Madi, Sydni, Ainslie, Trinity, Addison, Jacee, Reagen, Annie W., Kirany, Maddi D., Brynlie and now my mind is blank... Anyway, they are all really cute girls and I can't wait to get to know the cute new ones along with the return ones.  Hopefully this year can have unity!  Just in the last few months they have become far more of a team than they had been all year, so that is good!  A cute girl that was on the squad the previous year didn't make it.  I am so sad and hurt for her...

How are you?  What can I do for you son?

Cameron:  Nothing, I am good.  Can you make sure and get me registered for school?  I will need to get some new clothes. Do I have any money to do this?

Mom:  Oh Bubba.... How would I know if you have money. ha! We will make sure you are taken care of but remember not to lose focus on where you are.  I sure love you!

Cameron:  I won't but it is getting really hard.  I am so trunkie!  I love you, gotta go.  Have a good week!

Mom:  I love you too Cam, more than you know!!!  Be safe please.

Hey Everyone,

I hope you are all doing good. It as been a while since I have sent a email. I am here in Siqueria Campos with Elder Duarte. Things are good here but it is really hot. There were transfers last week and I got put with Elder Duarte but there is a pic of the baptism of me and Elder Crowley when we were still together. Easter here was good just with general conference and the fact that a Brazilian got called to the quorum of the 12... That was so cool. Conference was great! I hope that you all had a great experience like I had. Here are some pics hope you like em​
