¡Champerrrrrrico!

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 about 6 baptismal invitaciones and each person has accepted. So please pray for the following friends of ours so that they can keep preparing themselves.

Fernanda Colorado
Iker Mendoza De Leon
Angel Samuel
Rosa Bautista
Karina

Now you're probably asking, hey but there are only 5 names? That's because this guy got baptized yesterday on Sunday!!



Anselml has been terrified of water and drowning his whole life, and for that reason was never baptized. And it wasn't until he really understood the blessings he was missing from the Holy Ghost, that he decided it was worth getting dunked in some water with a slight 0% of drowning during his baptism. So Wednesday he told us that he was going to get baptized Sunday.

It's important to know the blessings that we are receiving from the covenants that we have made, but more important to know what blessings we can receive for making more covenants with God or returning to keep those sacred covenants. God has so much to give and is just waiting anxiously to give it all to you.

Hope yall have a great week and that it doesn't get too crazy.

Bug ya later✌️
Elder 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...

Conferencia General

Ok, so a lot but not a lot happened this week. So I think it's going to be a short one this week... we'll see. So, to start things off I have a new companion, our area doubled in size and we now have two houses. Insane... You'd think two houses would be nice, but boy does it complicate things. Now there's a lot more planning to be done every week. I am now half way through training and have a new comp! Élder Canal is lit! He's from Peru, speaks un poquito🤏 English, and is bien pilas!! (awesome) This week there's been a lot of sick people with different illnesses from a fever to kidney stones😬. So there have been many opportunities to use our priesthood authority to give priesthood blessings. It rained!! Oh how I have missed the rain!!!! It began to rain Saturday for a couple hours and then stopped. And then today it absolutely dumped for about an hour. Sadly it hasn't lasted too long but I'll just say when it rains in Guatemala it RAINS! Now for the mo...

Puro Chapin Roller-coaster Ride

 Omgosh this week was all over the place. Let's get into it!!   And I'm going to try to keep this shorter To get things started, an Hermana that we met last week, we finally made it to her house and family to meet and teach them. We have visited them twice now and they are bien pilas!!!(AMAZING) The second time we met with them they expressed a desire to be baptised in the true church of God!! HOW AMAZING IS THAT!!! The love they have for God and Jesus already is amazing! This week I also got super sick. I must have eaten something bad the night before cause I was in the bathroom for 3 hours puking. So fun! Don't think I have ever felt or looked as dead as I did. Pero ni modo. When I woke up in the morning I was fine and had no more symptoms or pain. This week it has also started to rain. And when I mean rain I mean RAIN. It rains absolute cats and dogs here and we have found ourselves, many times, just standing in the rain in our many travels from area to area. So ...
