Elder Brody Jensen

Got to go back to Jamaica again. I feel like every email I send I just talk about where I flew to this time. It's been crazy and it's been easy to keep ourselves busy.  We have had too many appointments with people that the bike riding has held us back this week from meeting with a few people. Sometimes they're just too far or we don't have enough time. We had a really great district council this week and part of it was when we talked about how we have seen ourselves grow in charity for others. Charity is the pure love of Christ and I would say that is one of the hardest attributes of Christ to emulate sometimes. Elder Provost, in the district, decided to twist the question a little bit and share how he has seen his companion grow in charity. Sometimes it is hard to see the growth in yourself, especially over only a few weeks. I can promise you that if you are trying to improve that, you are. It was cool to hear the growth that everyone is making and it was cool to

Yep I got to exchange and go back to Freeport with Elder Samuel's for 2 days. It was cool to see many of the people there and it felt really weird being back after only 2 weeks, everything was "new" but exactly the same if that makes any sense. Back in Nassau we have been working hard with several families and things are paying off! We had a great visit with the Etiennes. Last week I saw that one of the kids, Clark, had a guitar. I tried to tune it but snapped a string because they were so old and rusty. So this week I bought some strings that I had and spent some time restringing his guitar. He got so excited to have his guitar freshened up and I ran through how to start learning. We were able to share a great message on how God gives us talents to bless others. We were also able to take Clark out to visit some of his friends and their families. The first few visits he didn't know what to say as he was new to trying to share the gospel with his friends. However, by

This week felt really good here in Nassau! It did consist of a few flat tires... We were all going to down town to go and meet people but on the way my tire tube popped. We found a near bike shop and had to wait for the mechanic to show up so we walked. It was about lunch time as well so we walked all the way to a McDonald's here in Nassau. Then we walked back and got the new tube put in. Then this last Saturday, Elder Provost had a flat and it turned out that I had a few broken spokes on my back tire! Didn't know how far back that happened but that's not so good. We couldn't get them fixed Saturday evening so they were going to have to wait until Monday. Thankfully the branch president here in Nassau, President Smith was kind enough to pick us up for church while the other two biked. It was pretty funny that the 2 who broke their bikes got the easier ride to church. I'm just glad we didn't have to walk... Now what went so well this week? We got to meet with the

My last few days in Freeport were so good and I am always so happy to leave an area on a high note. There were many miracles last week and many members that we have spent the last 7 weeks visiting were sad to see one of us go. It was a great, hard working time in Freeport and I learned a lot with Elder Samuels. Definitely miss him and my time there but good things are still ahead!    Well I'm now in Nassau, the capital of the Bahamas. My new companion is Elder Saetre and he was serving in Port Antonio branch, which is somewhere I served, for around 4 months. It was a huge adjustment going from quiet Freeport to loud, noisy Nassau.   It's been tough to try and meet with the members here at the beginning but a miracle was that we were able to meet with Sister Okhuarobo, who is the president for the women in the branch here. We met her and her family at their tire shop. We were able to hear how her testimony of Christ has grown over the years and that is just my favorite t
