Elder Dannon Jensen

  It's hard to believe that 3 weeks have already flown by since the last time I wrote an email! Sorry about that. Time truly does move differently on a mission. These past few weeks have been a whirlwind of experiences. I've definitely had my fair share of highs and lows these three weeks. But here's a quick summary: - the last pday that I wrote an email, I got a fun surprise attack from a massive spider that was hanging out a couple inches from my back. - we gotta celebrate the birthday of la chunquita (Mexican Spanish way of saying "little one") (la chunquita's name is Ánia or Matu) - made my comp puke by fake gagging... - found a little friend hanging out on my pants, which supposedly hurts like a son of a gun when it stings you. Luckily, I wore pants to the service project... - I have gotten to eat a lot of tacos, cause who knew how much Mexicans like tacos  - We gotta celebrate the bday of Flor from Pueblo Nuevo, who I baptized! She finally can get her Gu...

  Omgosh, these weeks have been rough but soo good. Here's a list of some stuff that happened. - got my new comp Elder Contreras. An ex-Mexican Marine. He is crazy and so fun, and good at connecting and building relationships with everyone. - lead my first district council. Kinda botched it, but that's alright. - had exchanges with Elder Seufale Latu! He is such a dope guy. Just wish I wasn't in the bathroom that day until 3 pm so I could have learned more from him - had exchanges with the ZLs and, omgosh, I learned so much from Elder Teare. He is so direct and honest with the holy message we have to share that the spirit comes so fast and strong. - Having a bit of a struggle with finding people. But the second we prayed, we had a lot more success in finding people who do want to actually listen to us! Miracles!! - Watching the district keep improving has been amazing. Están echando puro fuego! - We, as a mission, have been prepping for a big conference that is coming up th...

  Well if you can't tell from the title this week we had transfers! So let's get into this week -A lot of visits and lessons fell through this week, which has been a bummer -Hermana Flor was baptized this week!! She was so stinkin excited to get baptized to the point of jumping up and down. Took some photos before and later found that they turned out a little sus... -Found Mike and Ikes!!!! -Got transfers and I am staying! But not in Pueblo Nuevo ... which I am quite sad about. I just love the people in that area and branch. But I get to stay here in Nuevo Palmar! I was also called to be the new District Leader of our district. So we bout ta see some more challenges coming my way. -New comp's name is Élder Contreras. He is from Mexico and that is all I know about him. I'm excited to get to know him more. -I also went TikTok famous and got on Guatemalan news! Search on facebook "mormon rejando leña" This week has been a little rough to be honest. Having everyth...

  Hello hello hello! I hope you all had an amazing week! Cause I sure did! To catch y'all up: >Had intercambios with Elder Noorda, we got to extend a baptismal date to a brother in their area and he accepted! >Elder Wilks and I found many new people this week, one of which accepted a baptismal date the very first visit. >We printed and gave some baptismal invitations to Hermana Flor for her baptism that is coming this next week and as she looked at them she began to jump and yell because of how happy and excited she is to be able to be baptized. >The mission handyman, Gustavo, came over one night to put chicken wire on the window by my bed so we don't have to worry about rats coming in and sleeping with me anymore. Because that may or may have not happened... >Hermana Melanie was baptized!! This was crazy, we worked very hard even when people would straight up say they don't want to listen and/or hid from us behind tinted mirror windows that we could still se...

Hey y'all!! How ya doing?! I don't have much time tonight to write much, but here is a quick sum up of this last week: >We found out that we have a very active volcano right next to us called Volcan Santiaguito >We have an investigator that has been accused of robbing some of our members this week >we now have 6 people on date and progressing towards baptism!! Flor, Melanie, Jerson, Auner, Victoria, and Hellen. Please pray for them  >We had a surprise call from the ZLs congratulating us on not having fear to invite people to the waters of baptism. Not gonna lie, this week has been a roller coaster, there's a lot to say about it but really the greatest thing I learned from this week, I learned today from my Dad, and a little from my comp. First of all what my comp said, God is not the author of worry or fear. And second from my dad, you don't have to worry so much about receiving revelation from the spirit if you are being faithful and keeping the commandment...

Hola a todos!! I hope you all had an amazing Christmas this year and that you all have a great new year!!! Sorry if this email is a little short. I had a larger one written out, ready to send, but sad thing about emails is that there isn't an undo button when you accidentally delete your whole email... and I don't have enough time to write it out all again... sowry Anywho, to explain these past two weeks!! They have been amazing!! These past two weeks the work has progressed so much!! Including 4 people on date for baptism!! (Auner, Flor, Melanie, y Victoria) There have been miracles and many blessings these past two weeks. Now to explain the title. I have begun to understand consecration a little better. My comp, Elder Wilks, is such a consecrated missionary. He has changed the way I see missionary work and how I should live every moment of my mission. If you want maricales, give yourself to the Lord, and you will see the potential He has for you. Now, how can I live more cons...
