Week 7: Last Week At The MTC And Off To Argentina

I leave for Argentina tomorrow!!! I am freaking out and I am SOOOOO excited to meet my trainer and my mission President but I have no idea what to expect so the unknown is scary.  


This week was so hard for me and my district we were all so over the CCM and it was so hard to concentrate because we are at the point in our spanish where we have been taught so much that every day is boring and reptitive that we all just want to be in the field actually doing the Lords work. 


On Friday me and my district practiced our musical number for church and we sound so bad that I cant stop laughing. 
we had the opportunity to teach latino missionaries and I was feeling so confident and sure in my self but my first group of missionaries was 4 Elders and one Elder was not very kind I was trying so hard to teach in Spanish and he kept interuprting telling me things what I was doing wrong and just not being helpful and kept trying to hand me his phone to Google translate and I was just so flustered that my confidence was completly depleated and after the entire activty was done he points to me from across the room and goes " that Hermana was about to have a heart attack when she was teaching, her face was so red and she never once made eye contact" of course he said this all in spanish and I was so frustraded because I had tried so hard and I feel bad but I gave him a really dirty look and when he tried to talk to me afterwards he continued to tell me how red my face had been and I just stared at him and walked away. 


On Saturday Hermana Millar had a fever so me and Hermana Eppley had to skip class to stay with her but we just hung out in our room for 4 hours and spent the time studying spanish and reading the book of mormon. Apparently our Elders suffered from food poising last night so while at breakfast I got the run down of events. 


Monday and Tuesday were spiritually amazing I had such a good personal study! I am currently reading in 3 nephi when Christ visits the nephites and he blesses all the little children i felt so much love when reading those chapters. Also at lunch we had a big discussion on deep docterine topics and its so amazing that you think you know everything about the second coming and all that stuff but the more you look into it the more you realize how little we know. During class our teacher Hermano Diaz went so in depth on the tribes of Israel and all the symbolism that is correlated between the book of mormon and the Bible and my mind was continually being blown the whole class. 


Well today is the last day of the MTC! I leave tomorrow morning and its going to be such a long day. I am not sure when my next P-Day will be but I love you all. I dont know when you'll hear from me but the next time you do I will be in Argentina!!  


Love you all 


Hermana Jensen

Whatttttttt i cant believe I am at 17 months ! Monday we did a district Pday in the Mountains. It sounds all nice and dandy but it wasnt. The ride up was twisty and we were in this old bus that tilted off the side of the cliff everytime we turned. We saw a 100 foot tall virgin statue and then a few yards away this minsicule jesus statue that you had to squint to see ( argentinas sure got her priorities straight here ) It was over 100 degrees and dusty. We hiked and ate asado which was the best part. I felt like angelia in the office when I said the music was too loud. On my behalf we couldnt hear eaxh other and had to ScReAm to speak.  Anways we ended up getting stuck in the Mountain because we missed the bus twice but it was fine because we ended up playing Catan i was partnered with elder Heredia and we won. and we drank mate you know theres nothing like sharing the same drink and straw between 8 missionaries as a bonding exercise. we love a good mateada. Tuesday: we we...

Week 22: A Cruel Joke And Lautaros Baptism!!!!!!!

Image
Muy buenos dias bienvenidos a una otra semana!  Bueno this week was good on Monday me and Hermana Braatz wondered into a Catholic Mass where we got really wierd looks. It was a very peaceful experience we also saw some one get shushed by a priest and it was really funny we had to leave before we laughed to loud.  Thursday: our district leaders played a CRUEL joke on us. In the afternoon we waited patiently to recieve a call saying the Lautaro passed his baptism interview and at 4:30 or so we recieved a text from the Elders saying that they needed to talk to us about Lautaro because he failed his interview. We freaked out trying to call them sent texts and they werent responding so we trecked the 40 minute walk to Lautaros house and knocked on his door determined to find out what happened his sister answered and said that he had left because he failed the interview and we asked about what had happened and she told us that he couldnt answer some of the questions  because we...
