Yo sé que Dios ama a todos

Hello everyone!! I don't have much to say in this email so it'll be a little on the shorter end.

First of all we had another baptism!! Mateo was baptized this week. Ya'll should have seen how excited he was and the smile he had on his face when he passed the baptismal interview.

We had Stake Conference this week and that was so good. Élder Giron of the Seventy came and visited. They all talked about covenants, the blessing we receive from them, and how they help in this life. It was soo good.

I finally got to eat a fresh coconut!! And got to chop it open myself. It was sooo yummy.

There was a ton of rain and thunderstorms this week, which were so much fun and so nice cause when it begins to rain the air drops like 10 degrees here in Sanber.

No to explain my title a little bit. Today I realized a pattern that has been going on for quite a while. But first of all to Pdays. Pdays, or more like after 6 on Pdays, when they end and we get back to work, are probably some of my hardest times. But the thing I've noticed is that for the past 10ish Pdays, a little bit before or almost right when Pday ends, it starts dumping rain. Even if it hadn't rained like all week, it always rained on Monday. And I absolutely love the rain. It just makes me so happy, especially when it is pouring buckets of water on our heads like today. And I've realized that when Pday ends, it really is hard until I go outside and realize it's raining and we get to go out and teach in it. I believe that this is one way, of many, that God likes to show me He loves me and is here for me. And I know that there is something like this for everyone. In your hard times, when things are difficult, look for the "little love letters" he sends you, as a good friend of mine calls them. Cause he's always sending them. But you just have to look for them. And for this I know God loves me, and God loves you, and He loves everyone. En el nombre de Jesucristo, Amén.

I hope ya'll had a great week and that this coming one will be even better. Thank ya'll so much for everything you do.

I'll bug ya'll later
Élder Jensen

¡A LA GRAN!

Wow, is a mission hard, in a good way. To start off ... I have a companion that doesn't speak a lick of English. So there's that. I mean I'll learn Spanish much faster this way. But it definitely comes with its challenges when you struggle to understand what people are saying in lessons. So basically I just sit there until he asks me a simple question, asks me to read something, or gives me that look that it's time for me to bear my testimony. But other than that I consider myself pretty lucky. I'm in the awesome little town called Genova in the zone of Coatepeque. And basically all we do is walk up and down this little main brick road, occasionally taking a tuk-tuk to a different neighboring little town, sharing messages and working with three people on their journey to baptism for this coming week. We have a baptism this Wednesday and Thursday and possibly another this Thursday. We are praying for the third to happen.🤞🏼 Another thing that's pretty fun is bei

Water and more water ...

This week was crazy!! To start things off transfers went well, other than the fact that the actual transfers didn't because it took until 1030pm at night for the new comps to get to their areas due to blockades due to strikes. But good thing I'm staying with Élder Watson so we just got right to work when Archaga left the night before for his home in Honduras. Well actually, we tried to get to work. Élder Watson has been pretty sick this past week so keep him in your prayers! So due to that, there were some days we spent more time in the house than others. One of the times we did leave the house when he wasn't feeling too hot was this friday. As District Leader, Élder Watson now has to do interviews to make sure the friends of the missionaries in our district are indeed ready for their Baptisms. This interview took us to Oriente on the outskirts of Mazatenango. As we were rolling up to Mazate (Mazatenango) the clouds rolled and the rain came. Once we got out of the bus we bo

El Dia de Preparación Final en la CCM

Oh what a P Day it has been. But before I get to what happened today, on Friday, I'll talk un poco 'bout my week. So to start this week off we got to listen to a broadcasted Devotional from Provo that D. Todd Christofferson spoke at and boy, was that a good talk. He spoke about the Atonement of Jesus and how important it is to repent. He gave us the gift of repentance and we must use it. He can't save us if we don't choose to receive this amazing gift. What's the point of Him giving us agency if we abuse it and expect him to save us without us doing any work? My house (Casa 50, which consists of 15 Élderes) tried out for a musical number for our final devotional here in la CCM. On Thursday we tried out with el himno Loor al Profeta (Praise to the Man) acapella. We felt good about it until the next audition showed up, which was basically a choir of about three districts whose devotional would also be their last. We thought we had no chance. But today we received
