Four Generations

 Week of 30 June 2014

Hey guys!!!

So... It's been a good week. I love mijo.

Our first lesson together was to a drunk white dude, the husband of one of our less actives, and he was going off the whole time about how he misses smoking marijuana and how its good for you and how he has a hard life and... yeah. And Elder Soriano is usually a pretty timid guy, but he opened his mouth and one of the first things he said was, "All I hear is excuses." My jaw kind of dropped in that instant

I was not expecting that much fire AT ALL!!! But hey... it all worked out pretty well.

We have also had some pretty colorful tracting experiences together. Wednesday was our first full pross (proselyting--trying to find people to teach) day and we need some new investigators so we hit the streets and tracted. (knocked on doors) No one really opened up, but those who did left us with some good memories for sure. There was one dude who we had to knock 3 times to get to open up. We heard noise inside and knew someone was in there so I was pretty persistent. Finally the door opened up, and there was a white dude standing in his briefs with his pants around his ankles and a wild look on his face, and he asked us, "Who wants to party?!?" Mijo was kind of stunned so I just spoke what came to my mind, "not us." He said, "Sorry, can't help you then," and slammed the door. Afterwards we heard some good laughter and if I'd had a hat on I would have tipped it to the guy,

if you're gonna reject us, might as well have some fun at it. The next door we knocked this lady opened up and told us she was a less active and that they had company over. She introduced us to her daughter. I asked who the company was. Out of nowhere a 3rd woman popped out and the daughter told us it was her girlfriend... nice. Good times.

Yesterday we had a good lesson with some new investigators. We found them knocking on Friday, the kid's name is UUUU, he is 18 and from Honduras. So yesterday we taught him and he opened up and told us when he was 16-18 he was in prison.. .don't know why yet but when he told us that I had the very strong impression that he is ready for this message.

Because I know you are dying to know mijo is doing pretty good. He's definitely green and kind of clingy... when we went out to eat a couple times he ordered what I ordered, he always stops praying right after I do and he always waits for me to go through a door first... but he is always happy and humble so... sal good.

Aight peeps, gotta go.

Elder Travis Jorgensen

Week of 6 24

I HAVE AN HIJO!!!!!!!!

(meaning he is now training a new missionary, like someone did for him when he first went to Portland).

This weekend waiting for transfer calls was STRESSFUL!!!!!!! How President does them is people who are going to train get their calls first, and then later come the ones for if you are going to move or not. Usually training calls come between 10 and 12. By 11:59 I was about ready to kick a baby... and then 30 minutes later when I had all but pulled my hair out, President Morby called me and asked me if I would train. I was PUMPED!!! Both Warenski and I were also both assuming that I would go out to Sandy to do it too, because this is Elder Warenski's last transfer and it just wouldn't make sense to send him there. So that call came and I was a little disappointed I'm not going to lie. I have had a lot of cool experiences out in Sandy and feel really close to a lot of those families. So I took it pretty hard. Thankfully God gave me an attitude adjustment. After the calls came we went by a member who was one of the first converts in Paraguay. She spent 10 years of her life living in the wilderness because of the persecution she faced for being a member

. And then, her husband went from being active to inactive and abusive. After 10 years of that, she decided she couldn't take it anymore, so she said a prayer asking God to help her in leaving her husband. In the middle of a prayer, an angel appeared to her, put his hand on her shoulder, and said, "He is important to God. You are the only one who can bring him back."

And then left. So she spent another 10 years in an abusive relationship, when finally her husband turned things around only to die shortly thereafter. The Spirit kind of smacked me in the face a little bit during that story. It's not that I don't like Milwaukie, but things in Sandy are honestly just going to take off now that it has its own set, and we don't have a whole lot here. Or I guess we do kind of this area has just kind of gotten old to me. It's lost the "newness" factor. Elder Warenski and I shifted through about 20-30 investigators in our companionship and only got 1 to come to Church and the rest didn't care... So I guess that's one of the reasons God gave me a greenie. I feel pretty honored... no new Spanish Elders have come into the mission since October and there are lots of Elders who still need to train... 2 that are a transfer older than me, all the other 5 of my generation, and 3 in the generation younger. Yesterday 2 Spanish greenies came in and I got one of them. President Morby told us in our trainer's meeting that because he is leaving (on Saturday:( he wanted to leave the mission with the best trainers he could think of. I think he was edited for content but whatever;) However, Elder Warenski and I had an interesting conversation about how big of a role training someone plays in where you get called on your mission. As in sometimes you get called to the mission you do so you can train a greenie there.

I have definitely felt like that in respect to Cooper and Eric... so I am maybe just feeling slightly overwhelmed... just a little. Any advice or stories?? I'm all ears... and you don't have to wait until next monday to do it either if something comes type it up and send me it!!

Luckily something that is taking the stress of is that mijo, Elder Soriano,

is already fluent and native. So he's gonna teach me the language:) AND he's from Arizona, so he broke the streak of white companions I've had from Utah since I got out to the field. As far as how he is... only time will tell. My first impressions of him are that he is a big, giant, innocent teddy bear.

Oh, humble too. He is technically a convert he was baptized at age 9 with his family. But he seems excited to work so that's good. All in all I am excited.

So... randomly, I am getting quite the list of books I want to read when I get home. Like The Lincoln Thesis that I saw in Deseret Book the other day. And The Lost Language of Symbolism. And Lectures on Faith, the Autobiography of Parley P. Pratt, and a lot more. I can't do anything about it out here, because I can't read them so if I bought them I'd just haul them around, but maybe if you see them in stores on sale you could keep me in mind.

Alright I love you guys!! 

Elder Travis Jorgensen

 Peeps!!!

So... it was a good week. Wednesday, our Sandy run day, was FANTASTIC!!! We saw XXXX, the 15 year old Elder Goff and I found tracting, for the first time in months. We knocked their door and his little siblings answered, they told us he was sick. We asked if we could say hi to him anyways. So we did, and showed him the Mormon Message, "Sanctify yourselves" by Elder Holland. The Spirit was really strong as we showed it to him. And then, after we had finished and were just talking for a little bit, his little brother came in. I assume he was about 5 years old. Our conversation went as follows.

"You guys should leave now."

Why?

"Because I don't want you here."

"Oh yeah? Well I'm bigger than you!"

"Well I can punch you in the qqqq!"

He was dead serious too.

I would say of all the ways I have heard of to end a conversation, that is one of the more effective ones. Part of me wanted to tell him I have qqqq of steel so it wouldn't matter, but I decided it would be best not to test it out.

The best part of Wednesday was meeting with Bishop Hoakenson of the Sandy River ward. Lemme splain to you guys so that you can understand how intense of an experience this was. I told you that we met with the Mt Hood Stake President last week right? President Morby suggested that we stop by him just to tell him what we were doing and see if we can do anything for him. He appreciated our visit and said he would talk to President Morby. That was almost 2 weeks ago. We decided that same night that we should pick a Bishop to meet with to try to get some people we could take with us to lessons out there. We randomly picked one Bishop, Bishop Hoakenson, of the Sandy River Ward. He just felt right. So this Wednesday we show up, we were a few minutes early because we got out of our appt with XXXX and figured it would be better to be early than late, so we headed to the Church. This was like the most inspired showing up early that I've had on my mission. The Church was PACKED with people who knew about us and wanted to talk to us.

Apparently within like 3 days President Lewis had sent an email out to his High Councilors and Bishops talking about starting a group. So while we were waiting for Bishop Hoakenson, we talked to a retired bus driver who knew all the nooks and crannies of Sandy, 2 Elders quorum presidents, and the other 2 members of the Stake Presidency. DOPE.

After that we got into the meeting itself, and all I have to say is WOW. Apparently, the Sandy River ward is the one President Lewis wants to start the group out of. We didn't know that when we called. Also, Bishop Hoakenson used to live in Texas, where starting groups out of wards is a very common occurrence. As we started talking he asked us why we thought we were there. We told him and kind of talked about our investigators. Then he told us why he thought we were there. And he said that since he had moved from Texas 10 or 15 years ago, he had wanted to start a group out in Sandy, just had been waiting for the right time. Even if I don't get to go open that area up that experience alone will be worth it. Hints are getting dropped all over the place too. President Lewis sent us an email saying that this transfer (this is the last week of the transfer by the way, so Wes if you're gonna get me a letter, get it in the mail to me in Milwaukie by Wed or wait until next week) President Morby is planning on putting some Spanish Elders out there. President Morby called us one night to check that if Sandy gets opened up the Milwaukie group won't lose any members and that we will still have enough work to do in Milwaukie, which it won't and we will, and at Zone Conference on Friday President was dropping a few hints, he told me to "saddle up Elder" and a couple of other things, and the housing couple has reportedly been out looking for a place for missionaries to live. So, I don't know if I'll get to go out there but I am 95% sure it is happening. I'm kind of excited if you can't tell.

Friday was President's last Zone conference.

It was a pretty somber meeting. Saturday there was this dance festival deal some of the Stakes put on so all day Saturday the whole mission chilled at a high school so that we could sing We are as the armies of Helaman 3 times.

We got to watch a movie, too. The Saratov Approach. Mom, if you haven't watched that movie already... you should probably wait until I get home...:) Just saying.

Not the movie for moms of missionaries to see.   just sayin'

And last but not least, yesterday we had an investigator come to church, a 16 year old named TTTT, and in the middle of Sacrament meeting he decided he wants to get baptized!! So we set a date for July 18th!!

Ok... that's about it... I love you guys!!

 First week of June

Hey guys!!!
Sorry I didn't get to email you yesterday... like I said we went on a
15 mile hike near Mt Hood... I have some WAY GOOD pics to send home
when I have time next week.
This week not a whole lot happened; We got dropped by another one of
our promising youth again... That's kinda starting to frustrate me.
But all is well. God gave man his agency.
I do have a funny story for you guys though. And The main message of
it is I HATE SODA!!!!!!! 


We were in the house of an investigator this
week, finishing up a lesson, and she offered us a drink. The exact
word she used was  "refresco." I thought that just meant refreshment
so I said sure... Elder Warenski looked at me like I was high. And
then she brought us out a glass of soda. It wasn't even that big and
it was mostly flat. I'd asked for it... So I kinda had to drink it...
and I felt like DOG CRAP!!!!!!! the rest of the night!!!!! I felt so
fetching sick I kinda just wanted to lay down and cry.


I can't decide
which feeling is worse between gettind dropped or drinking soda...
nevertheless I can say with confidence that I'd be fine with neither
one ever happening again!!!!!!!!
Ok sorry I know this is short... the only other news is that Elder
Warenski and I are really working hard to get Sandy opened... we met
with the Stake President out there last week and it seems like things
are getting close. And it needs to be its own area, honestly. So keep
your fingers crossed!!! Oh, and I don't know how I never realized this
before, but Elder Warenski REALLY reminds me of Ashton Durrant. So...
yeah..
Love you guys!!!!
Elder Travis Jorgensen.

Hey guys!!

So... it was a pretty good week. Weird that I hit my 10 month mark and it was a year ago that I got my call... that all went by super fast.

However, my 10 month mark was a pretty good day, probably one of my favorites all week. I was on exchanges in Molalla, which is like the Oregon version of Kuna!!

There were cows everywhere, and little dinky homes and backroads and I really just felt like I was back home. Anyways.. to start of the morning my district leader, Elder Bair, wanted to go running! I said sure, we can go running! And then we got going and he wanted to turn around after 3/4 of a mile!! I said, no, let's keep going! So, we ran like 3 miles because I am a sadist:)

He said by the time we got back to their apt, he was blacking out...:) Anyways as the day went on, we had to go out to Oregon City so Elder Bair could do some baptismal interviews... they were for 2 kids whose parents and older brother are less active. While Elder Bair was doing the interviews, I got to talk with the less active older brother, who is 16. We started out playing basketball but he just had a lot of questions so we ended up just talking. It was a good chat, if anything I liked it because I really like talking to youth.

Obviously NOT Travis...

After that we went to our only set appointment of the day, with a couple where the wife was less active, they weren't married, and the husband wasn't baptized. I didn't know them at all and Elder Bair had only taught them as a family once. But the dad has been taking the discussions for awhile, over a year, and he told us he likes the way he feels when missionaries are over. It took Elder Bair and I awhile to get in a rhythm and figure out what to do with the lesson... but after a lot of following the Spirit, and good questions, we committed them to get married so the husband could be baptized. The wife said the closing prayer and the Spirit was so strong she started crying.

That's the first time I have had that happen in a lesson. To top things off, they have a 2 month old daughter who apparently has a heart condition and they wanted us to give her a blessing. So I got to do it and it was powerful. I don't know... trying to describe that lesson doesn't do it justice as to how good it actually was. That is the first lesson where I felt the Spirit really using me as a tool and guiding me in what to say and do versus me saying what I want and hoping the Spirit would testify of it. It was one of the most powerful moments of my mission.

And then the next day, Saturday, we had another powerful lesson. One of Elder Goff's recent converts in the area is named JJJJ, and he has 3 kids, one of them has her own kid already, and the others are teenagers. We've gone on and off teaching the 2 youth... Long story short it is hard to teach them routinely. So Friday we passed by, and saw CCCC, the oldest boy still at home (17) outside, and started talking to him. When we asked him if he had still been reading in The Book of Mormon, he said no, because he didn't believe in God anymore...

Well, that wasn't really what we wanted to hear, so we spent the next hour and then some talking with him about how God exists and how he can find out. It actually went pretty well, we made more progress with him than we thought we would, and by the end he told us he would keep praying until he got an answer.

That was probably the high of the day. The low came when 30 minutes later, another one of our 17 year old investigators named RRRR called us and dropped us. We had an appointment set for that day but he told us we didn't have to come, that he felt like it wasn't for him. I think that's the first time when an investigator that I really got close to and was really close to progressing dropped us... I don't like it too much!

And STILL NO ONE will come to church!!!

I could vent about it but it really wouldn't get me anywhere, it is just hard because so many people are reading and praying but won't come... and it's hard to help them want to be baptized if they won't come to church!

Aight... I think that's it... Love you guys!!

Elder Travis Jorgensen!

First Mucho Mango in 10 months

 what's up peeps!!

Well it was a pretty good week aqui en Milwaukie! Elder Warenski and I are teaching some really cool youth and almost all of them are keeping their commitments! There are 5 of them between the ages of 15 and 17 and this week we had some really good lessons with them.

My birthday was good!! Because I know you are all wondering...

You guys' present was way good !!! I'm not gonna lie recently I have been feeling like I was missing something in my mission... as if something were lacking, a missing piece we shall say. And THEN I got you guys' present, opened it, and saw my weed hoodie

and my track bag. After that... my life made sense. I felt whole and complete.  AND my cleats are super bomb too. I'll let you know when I play in them.

So this Saturday I was probably the fullest I have ever been in my life. We ate SO MUCH with this one English member... let me explain. We started out with a salad. Then the brought out... you guessed it... RIBS!!!! Tender, fall off the bone, RIBS!!!! He cooked 3 racks!!! Elder Warenski and I helped them finish off the first two (eating 7 ribs a piece) but then he told us he had cooked a 3rd and marinated it differently!!! So OF COURSE we had to try those, which put us at 9!! But that's not all!! While we were working on the ribs they brought us out corn on the cob and potato salad!! And then AFTER we had finished all of that, they told us watermelon was for dessert!! I was thinking to myself, "I should be able to handle that. A piece of watermelon. No biggie." WRONG!!! He cut it in half, and then cut a circle sized piece, bigger than a DINNER PLATE, for each of us. FETCH. I can honestly say yesterday I really was not hungry AT ALL!!! But the best part was, in the middle of eating, I started looking at one of their decorations. It looked a lot like a hookah. It was a hookah. It was given to them by their friend who works in narcotics for the Police. So naturally... I had to take advantage of the moment and take a picture!!!

Ummm what else... oh the Lord is definitely aware of our circumstances!!! We had a member by us groceries this week and Elder Warenski and I were super close to running out of money!!!

The last experience I have to share is a powerful prayer. On Friday for District Meeting Elder Warenski and I gave the training and we gave it on prayer and following the Spirit... which is really something we have been trying to work on in this companionship. So for the practice part we just gave everyone part of an Uchtdorf talk on prayer and had them go say a prayer to feel the love of God. And I felt it. It's hard to describe how it happened or why but I definitely know that God loves me and is aware of my situation.

Mom for a scripture reference you guys should read the Book of Enos.

Love yall!! Thanks for the Birthday present, wes that hat is dope! Keep me updated on Lacrosse!!

Elder Travis Jorgensen!

Editor's NOTE:

 

We didn't post last week as it was Mother's Day and his email was brief as our awesome skype convo was LONG! WOO HOO!, so here is the latest post, 19 May 2013.

 

Hey guys!!! 

Thanks for the birthday wishes...

although i am not going to lie I'm not looking forward to this bday that much... I have been the only 18 year old in the zone recently and I have kind of enjoyed it...  I don't know part of me just felt like it would never come.

Anywho moving on.... No I'm not out in Sandy. Still chillin here in Milwaukie but there is a good chance I'll move somewhere next transfer... this one is a short one it is only 5 weeks. And then a week after that President Morby leaves...

WEIRD! He has done some great things with this mission and I will miss him...

Oh before I forget yesterday at Church Bro Webb saw me and the first thing he said was "you have some outstanding parents"

to which I told him I know and I am a pretty lucky kid:) AND some people who have been emailing me lately who have also been keeping up on the blog say you guys are doing a really god job with it so thank you! I imagine it probably takes awhile to do but I appreciate it!

Ok storytime!! As far as the work goes not much happened this week it was kind of slow... but I have some funny experiences to share! The first one comes from Wednesday... I think. I don't really remember the day... anyways Elder Warenski and I were coming here to the Church to do some facebooking... usually there is a couch we sit on and just do it on our ipads... well on Wed when we went to go sit on it we found it occupied . HOW she was occupying it is the amusing part... She was laying face down, passed out, and snoring like I've heard no one snore since I have been edited! She was out! So Elder Warenski and I looked at each other both thinking the same thought... picture time!!

We took it and I have it... but my camera is at home so I'll try to send it next week! So we did that, did some fb, and during fb someone was setting up for some activity later that night and they had Studio C hooked up to the audio system in the whole building!! We had to leave because I knew the episodes they were playing and it was NOT making it easy for me to focus!

Story #2... We haven't been able to teach WWW and his family (the ones with 7 kids) in awhile so yesterday when we went out to Sandy we made a point of stopping by them... We knocked on the door, and finally after a few minutes someone opened up. Who it was I couldn't tell you. But I did see WWW in the background with a few Corona's which would explain why the guy who answered the door was looking at us kind of crosseyed and wobbling so hard he could barely stand. Guy was PLASTERED! He looked at us, tried to mumble a thank you, and then shut the door! Needless to say... THAT KIND OF IRRITATED ME!!!!! I REALLY wanted to knock it again, I kept thinking to myself "there is no way that just happened" but in the end I realized if WWW was drunk it was probably the best way things could turn out.

We did have one pretty intense lesson happen. It was with MMMM the 17 year old we found awhile ago, the one who I just randomly felt like sharing my story with our first lesson together and it paid off... I have been feeling lately like I should ask him why he keeps letting us come back because we usually see him a couple times a week. His response was kind of the opposite of what we were hoping for... he said he would feel rude if he didn't... so we bore some strong testimony about the importance of him knowing for himself if this was something God wanted him to do...

he told us he would read so we will see what happens. I think that's the first time I've honestly understood what people mean when they say it's heartbreaking when people don't keep their commitments... I really hope he reads!

Ok I gotta go guys!!.

I love you guys!

Elder Travis Jorgensen

HEY!!!

So first of all, SKYPE HAS BEEN APPROVED!!!!

Elder Warenski and I are planning on calling around 930ish here, 1030ish for you guys. But for me to make the call I am going to need your skype info, so after you make your profiles send me an email with the info of your name, your email, and all the stuff you put down to make your profile so that way I can call yall. We will have one hour!! I'm pumped!!!

My Cinco de Mayo has been... alright... We went and played some soccer and we are gonna do FHE with one of the families here tonight.... so it'll be good.

This week was...alright. We had a lesson drought in the middle we almost went 2 days without being able to get in and teach anybody, which was FRUSTRATING, but in the end things worked out. Yesterday we went to the Visitor's center with one of our investigators...

I would say that that was probably the highlight of the week...

I'm trying to think of stuff to tell you guys... but really not much comes to mind. It was a good week but there wasn't really anything that stood out and made me say "oh snap, can't wait to tell everybody about this one."

Dad your line about the talking donkey in the Bible being a smart a** made me laugh.

.. I read it to Elder Warenski and he said "actually, that explains a lot about your sense of humor..."

The meet the Mormons program sounds aight... I don't know it probably helps to have people not so intimidated by the Church...

OH actually yes I do have one cool story. So our most progressing investigator is named HHHH... he is a super cool guy and things just make sense to him. He's changed a lot too he's opened up to us about how he used to be a drug dealer and do a lot of other stuff but now he is one of the nicest people I have met out here. So in one of our lessons with him this week he told us a pretty crazy story about a life changing event he had...

to give you just a few deets it involved him getting kidnapped from some people of his past life, having a gun put to his head and when the gunshot sounded miraculously nothing happened. There is more but that's the basics and it's CRAZY. Anyways the part that kinda blows my mind is WHEN it happened... April 20th of last year. And then the next day, on April 21st, I randomly made the decision to come serve a mission... kinda makes me think. ANYWHO he is EXACTLY what we need to be able to start the branch because he is older, he probably won't move away, and once he fully accepts the gospel he is gonna be such an awesome convert. The main problem is is that he is going through some separation issues and was gonna move up to Washington to get a job, but then a friend offered him a sheetrocking job locally... he can't decide what to do. I am PRAYING that he stays here

, but to do that he has to find a new place to live... but he is SO awesome you guys wouldn't believe.

Aight I gotta go, don't forget to email me with that skype info!!!

Love,

Elder Travis Jorgensen

Hey!

So this week was CRAZY!!!!

We saw little miracles happening almost every day. A cool one was Thursday night during planning we just felt like we should go to a specific part of our area... we didn't know why how long or what was going to happen but we did it. As we pulled up there was a group of kids just chilling talking and after awhile we decided we should probably go talk to them... and they were WAY receptive and liked talking to us. Describing it is hard but it was just cool to see happen.

Also yesterday was EPIC! So I don't remember if I've told you this or not yet but Elder Warenski and I are fasting every week to start the area going. It's been working. Yesterday we were fasting to be able to find some of our news weve taught recently and keep teaching them. It was a ROUGH fast too...

during Church I was having a hard time paying attention and keeping a conversation was hard. I almost broke it a couple times because I didn't know HOW I was gonna be able to teach anyone. But, after Church we left for Sandy and Gresham... we had some referrals to go contact in Gresham so we went and did that... and even after we had contacted everybody I still felt like we should stay out there a little longer... didn't know why I just did. After 20 or so more minutes nothing had happened so I felt like we could go... and we made it out to Sandy to an investigator's house... His name is KKKK and he and his wife both were taking the discussions about 18 years ago in California.. he has 7 kids:D We found him a couple weeks ago by knocking, last week he wasn't home but we taught 2 oldest sons, and yesterday we talked to the same 2 oldest sons for a bit, and then the parents came home from getting groceries. We taught the WHOLE FAMILY, 8 of which are at baptismal age:) AND, his oldest son, LLLL, has only had a Book of Mormon for a week and he is already into 2nd Nephi.. CRAZY!

So by the time we got out of that lesson, it was like 730... we usually don't eat dinner on Sundays because we don't know any members out in Sandy and it is too hard on the days schedule to interrupt the run and come back for dinner. Anyways after that we went and knocked on the door of a family I haven't taught since I was with Elder Goff.

They opened up, invited us in, and told us they were just finishing up dinner and offered us some. It was Mexican food and I loved it SO much... Lately I haven't eaten much mexi food we usually eat with the white members. But it was GOOD.

The dad was a little bit drunk..:) He was playing his guitar and singing for us, and after we ate we asked if we could share a spiritual thought, and read Alma 36 with them. We asked BBB (the dad) if he wanted to read and he just looked at us and was like "probably not." It was the funniest thing though, the whole time while we were reading he just had this look on his face like he was having his mind blown and randomly sometimes he'd just say "wow"... it was pretty funny.

And today... I got in with some English Elders to buy some new ties. They had a deal from a member where they ordered a 60 pound box of ties... We split it 5 ways and each came away with about 100 ties and it only cost $25:D I have some pictures..

. but I left my camera at home today...:( Next week, I promise, I'll catch you guys up on pics!

Ok I think that's about it. Elder Warenski and I are doing WORK I've never had a bond between me, my comp, and the Spirit so strong before.

Since we've been companions, in 3 weeks, we've found 18 news. We still have half the transfer and when Elder Goff and I were together we only found 19 that whole transfer... So I'm just hoping we can get some people progressing, coming to Church, and then baptized!!! That is the goal and that is what I ask that you guys pray for!

Love,

Elder Travis Jorgensen!
