Hablemos de Cristo! Testifiquemos de Cristo! Regocigémonos en Cristo! Y que nunca nos cansemos de hacerlo bueno.

 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 for pday we got to go to the Disneyland of Central America. It's not Disneyland, but they always compare it to it. I almost killed my comp forcing him to experience a roller coaster for the first time. Let's just say his blood pressure got a little higher than what's normal.

Sorry for keeping it a bit short this week. But I am going to begin to repent and write yall more frequently with time. But I hope that yall could find some Joy in these scriptures as I do. We are all part of laying the foundation of this great work, and by including Christ in every part of our life, we do so. 

I love yall and I hope yall know it. Until next week!
Va pue!
Elder Jensen

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...

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 ...
