Elder Dannon Jensen

  Title referenced from some scriptures that I recently have loved and have helped me. - 2 Nefi 25:26 - DyC 64:33 Hey yall. Hope yall are doing swell. Here in Champerico, it has been a little wild lately due to some good ol' patriotic Guatemalans during their independence week tradiciones. Here's some highlights: - Had intercambios with Elder Sumpter, a dope gringo from my district. He's picking up Spanish great and has such a great desire to help our friends progress - Got to learn to make buttermilk to make some amazing pancakes for Sunday lunch. Supposedly I have changed the expectations of pancakes for Elder Baquedano😅 - Had intercambios with Elder Nelson, my Zone Leader. He came to the mission with me and it is the first time in 20 months that we have been able to catch up. Wild to see how much a mission can change someone - we got eating with members banned by getting ill constantly in the gut... yay... I am all good though so there's no need to worry. - today fo...

Happy Labor Day everyone! Hope yall have a had a great couple of weeks. Here in Champe it has been a roller coaster ride. Here is why: - we got transfers and Elder Baquedano and I are staying together for another transfer. - we have been working with a good amount of baptismal dates. I'll tell more about that later - we got to go to an island to contact a facebook reference. It was soo dope. Its called El Chico and it's an island between the ocean and a mangrove forest. And the boats that we take to get there don't go trough the ocean. But instead they go through the mangrove forest. It's unforgettable. - as we were returning from the island we ran into a member that hasn't seen missionaries there in 3 years. Supposedly she is the only member there but not one member knows her because she has never had a way to drive the long distance to church. It's really sad. - I got stomach sick again ... yay... nothing new there... - we were going to have two baptisms. They...

Buenos días! Sorry for the radio silence. It's been a little wild these past couple weeks. Due to some issues, our pday time was cut short two weeks ago and an activity last week took a little too long. But today should be a chill pday. So I'm looking forward to it. But the past three weeks have been amazing! Elder Baquedano and I have been working so hard lately and trying to help a good handful of people work towards baptism. Some have sadly ended up deciding that it's not their time. But others are working through their obstacles whether it be a substance or nerves or fears. Two of which are Angel (14 years old) and Micheal (18 years old). They both are preparing to be baptized this coming Sunday. So please keep them in your prayers. Amongst the work and them helping them prepare to be baptized, here's a few other things that have happened: -as we were looking for the house of an inactive member we knocked on the door of someone's hut and the person answered the ...

Bueno. These past weeks have been quite eventful. First of all, I am no longer in the mission office!!!! That's right, I left! I got called back to the coast. Hence the title: Champerico. Moved right down the hour long road to the beach of Retalhuleu. My new comp is Elder Baquedano. He's a Hondereño and he is actually from the same generación as me. So it'll be fun to get back together in the airport as we head home. This last week we had interviews with Presidente Pincay. The Pincays are awesome and are so ready to get to work. Also, after my interview I got a pretty sweet promise from Hermana Pincay. She said that I'll be able to die in the mountains!!! For all who don't know, that's mission lingo. To die in the mission is to end your mission. So I'm looking forward to going up to the cold mountains of Guatemala right before I go home to the freezing cold of Loomis, California, right in time for snow season. It's been a crazy week as we have extended a...

The past two weeks have been a handful, to say the least. Lots of running around, resolving problems so that the presidentes don't have to. The last two weeks were spent like this: Two weeks prior: - preparación for the new presidente - still finding it hard to help the father of Diana be ok with her desire to join the true church. Darn anti church of christ friends of his. Please pray for him. - finding new friends to help prepare for baptism - one day we decided to focus our finding efforts on searching for partial member families in one part of our area. The fruits of this day are shown below... Last week: (was insane) - Tuesday: the coming of the new presidente - Wednesday: mlc in person (I got to perform a special number, I'll record the song once my voice is better so yall can hear it. No one recorded it) - Thursday: zone conference and interviews - Friday: another zone conference - Taking care of the new presidente and his wife with the adjustment, while taking upon our...

Buenas tardes!! O días o noches. I hope you all had a great couple of weeks! These last couple weeks have been pretty good here in the office and Concepción. Here's a quick sum up of the last couple weeks: -Yesenia, a little nine year old, came up to us one day I'm church and told us she wanted to be baptized. And she got baptized. Apparently the ward never got to her baptism when she was 8. So we got to help her out with the amazing process - Right now we are working with our new friend Diana. She is amazing and always amazes us with her curious questions. She read the book of Mormon in three days and has a document filled with notes and amazing questions that have us thinking. Right now she has a baptism date for the 29th! She already knows it's all true! - Lately we have been getting ready for our leaders to go home and receive new mission leaders. The McKays are going and the Pincays are coming to Guate! Our new mission leaders are from Ecuador and I'm excited to se...
