Another Update- More Curves Ahead!

Hi Everybody,

We received our first e-mail from Stacey on Tuesday, which is her new P-Day because of her transfer. She sent a fun, informative e-mail and wrote about her latest curve and request from us. Here are some highlights:

Family!

Ok, so this is going to be way scrambled and there are bound to be mistakes. I have 19 minutes and I feel like I could type for 3 hours!

Today I went to travel services to make sure that they are expediting my VISA since I'm leaving in 15 days, and got some "news." I say news because to me it is both good and bad. Ready?
I'm actually going to serve a mini-mission somewhere in Utah while I wait for my VISA and stuff and fingerprinting. They think I will probably hit Argentina in the second or third week of June.
That's good because: I get a chance to teach lessons and get the hang of proselyting here where I am very familiar. I can learn things in English about teaching and doing the work.
That's bad because if I go to an English speaking mission I am concerned that I will lose my Spanish that I am working so hard to master.
I'm trying to only see the good, but it never ceases to amaze me how many curve balls I'm being thrown here.

There is no time for ANYTHING! Today was p-day, but it was packed with a temple trip, laundry, emailing, buying stuff at the bookstore and it's almost over.

I love dearelder letters - they are great! Don't feel pressured to write a ton, but moderately short letters are great. We have almost no time to read them.*** When you do send those, will you all put the date in caps at the very top - so when I get 5 at a time, I know which to read first - that would be GREAT!

My minutes are gone. I'm sending a letter in the mail, look for it-- Happy Birthday to Dad tomorrow!

I love you more than you could ever know.

If you only say one thing when you pray for me - I beg you to pray for me to receive the gift of tongues. I need it so much!

Gotta go!
Hermana Jensen!

Well, that's it for now...thanks for reading!
