Elder Dannon Jensen

  I'm sorry yall. I need to prioritize my time better on pdays. But here's a quick update. -We have been finding some elect people and have been helping others realize how to draw closer to God. It has been such a joy to find and realize which people are the elect people God has prepared. -I gave a talk yesterday about faith. I think it went good. -Got to help run a birthday party for an hermana and her son. -Performed a couple songs in a talent show in the branch. -Just finished a fire devotional with the general authority Elder Kyle S. Mckay (the brother of our mission presidente). Something I learned from this devotional was something that I just loved so much and felt like such an answer to a question of mine I have had for a while. He mentioned 1 Nephi 15:11 11 Do ye not remember the things which the Lord hath said?—If ye will not harden your hearts, and ask me in faith, believing that ye shall receive, with diligence in keeping my commandments, surely these things shall ...

So I got my trainee!!  His name is Elder Soto. He's from Washington and is awesome. He can't quite speak Spanish yet but he is trying so hard and is learning more everyday. He already is beginning to understand a lot more after 4 days! This week has been a little crazy. But let's just say that I have found a couple of massive hidden obstacles with a couple of our friends we've been teaching which has made it hard, and that one day, every single plan had fallen through. And now I'm senior comp and I'm training. So I have been a little more stressed lately but hey, stress comes with learning and growth. But one thing that has been on my mind a bit has been this scripture: D&C 64:33 Wherefore, be not weary in well-doing, for ye are laying the foundation of a great work. And out of small things proceedeth that which is great. Ya, gotta work on the small things if you want the big things to come. That's it for this week. Training is exhausting and it's l...

It's blue!!! Imma have a son!!! That's right, I'm going to be training and I'm so stinkin excited!! A little nervous but nonetheless, excited!!! I don't know who he is yet, whether he's a gringo or latino. But I will find that out Thursday. Tomorrow, Elder Gonzalez gets to say bye to everyone we are teaching and some of the members. And Wednesday he heads out to San Rafael in the mountains. Don't know where I'll go for the day but I'll figure it out. This week I don't have much time to write but here's something that has been on my mind lately. 1 Nefi 3:7 7 And it came to pass that I, Nephi, said unto my father: I will go and do the things which the Lord hath commanded, for I know that the Lord giveth no commandments unto the children of men, save he shall prepare a way for them that they may accomplish the thing which he commandeth them. The truth is that God has given us a lot of commandments. Right now a big one that I am focused on is ser...
