The world of Elder Jensen

Hey! This was an excellent week, I got my new comp Elder Hernandez, he's pretty cool, from Puebla. We have the same amount of time in the mission. Also we had another baptism this week, Letti. She is really really cool. She just accepted the Gospel immediately and is kinda like our mom - it's sweet. She wanted to make us breakfast the other day so we went over and she made us pancakes with yogurt and apples on top. Weirdly it was super good! And today we went down town and enjoyed some touristy stuff. But yeah everything is good here in the world of Elder Jensen, I hope you guys are doing awesome! 

Love you!

Seniors, Shoes, Sewage

So this week was really good! We came to a close to this transfer and my companion will be leavingtomorrow and I will be Senior companion here with a Elder Hernandez. I am excited to be Senior comp here it will be an adventure! And we have been working alot with some investigators here and we expect them to progress alot this next change! 

The biggest adventure we had was due to the excessive rain here, so when it rains it RAINS it doesn't joke around, and the drainage system here just can't handle it, so we have to figure out how to cross rivers like 24 times every day. This is rough, because if your shoes get wet, it's game over for your shoes - they start falling apart on the inside. With that in mind me and my comp were trying to figure out how to get out of one of these situations and basically we ended up on a tiny island in the middle of a road, without hope, and just as I was about to enter the disgusting sewage water, and the moment after my comp entered, a hermana arrived to save us in her car! It was sweet! 

Also we made the BESTTTTT tacos in the world this week, it was truly a extraordinary experience. 

Corn tortillas 

Avocado 

Cream cheese 

Ground beef and cheese 

And a chipotle chile 

It was a truly magical! I loved them. 

But yeah I hope you guys are good! Love you!

P.S. I had to remove a pool of dirty water from our backyard so we won't have a ton of mosquitos in our house!

I clean the font

Well this was a great week! We had a baptism, Berenna was baptised. So we arrived at the church in the morning to clean the font and to fill it with water, and it was full of dirty freezing water. We didn't have keys to the drain control sooooo we had to remove all the water by hand! So I am just alot bigger, taller, etc than all the Mexicans, so I had to get in the water and with a bucket and scoop out the water into trash cans that had wheels. Then they brought the cans outside to dump them and we were exhausted after this, so we look a little tired in the picture. But yeah it was really cool, Berenna was really happy! It was a excellent day! But that was mostly what we were focusing on all week, so yeah! 

OH! Also I learned how to make torillas! And there was a rainbow! 

Hope you guys are doing great!

Mr. Lizard

Hello! This week was awesome! To start it off I had to give the training in our weekly district meeting this week, and it went really well! Everyone liked it alot, I had to do it on the topic of `Believe.` It was all about believing we can reach all the goals of the mission if we really believe. It was cool, and I learned a lot! And then the next day my comp and the other missionaries in my ward we did musical street contacting, two sang and the other two contacted everyone who walked by. And it was cool - we met alot of people, some cool, alot of them were crazy, but yeah it was cool! And then the other day a group of Christians were out in the street singing and they invited us over and sang to us about being messengers of God. It was awesome, we even got to say some Amens and hallelujahs.  

Plus we got a new friend! Mr. Lizard - he wanted to hang out at our house and when we told him he couldn't sleep over he got mad, his tail fell off, and then he stormed off. He was a rather rude lizard. But yeah we have a lot of people progressing here right now, and we are gonna to have a few baptisms this and the upcoming weeks, its going great! 

Hope you guys are doing great!
