Hello champions. It´s always a pleasure to write to you. It´s really
fun being a missionary. I´m one.
HOW ARE YOU!?!? I´m doing so SO good. I love my life. I love this
gospel. I love the Book of Mormon. I love the Familia Alvarado. haha The Family
Alvarado are basically the coolest/most perfect people on the entire planet. I
literally love them so so much. They are amazing. They work in the temple here
in Xela and they feed us food a lot and they help us be better missionaries and
better people. The dad kinda reminds me of dad. and the mom kinda reminds me of
mom... not a whole lot, but they are just the greatest. I love the people here
so so much. Probably no one knows how my heart is about to explode when I think
about it. They are so so special here. Enough of that for now. Lemme tell you
about the dynamite of a week that we had...
So here in the mountains there are 3 zones. San Marcos (mine), San
Pedro, and Rio Blanco. we are 36 missionaries in the 3 zones and this Wednesday
there will be 10 more. 46 missionaries. cool huh?? Before there used to be 8
missionaries in the area of the 3 zones. Crazy how the work of the Lord is
growing. Anyway... The zonies called us from San Pedro and asked us if we would
help 2 of their missionaries get on the bus to Guatemala City at 2:30 in the
morning on Tuesday, we said yes... (it’s a good thing I answered the phone,
cause I think my companion would’ve said no) The reason they asked us is cause
we live super close to the station where a million buses go to. So we got these
patojos (kids) Monday night, and left at 2:15ish to go wait for the bus... We
just left in sweatshirts and stuff ya know.... so we were waiting and waiting
and waiting but the bus never came. One of the missionaries was sick too and
puked all over the road hahahahahaa. Anyway we get this feeling we need to walk
to the park, which is like 5 blocks away. We get about halfway there and we see
a couple walking. We ask them about the bus and they told us it passes at 3:15
in the bus place where we were, so we walked back with them. We got to
know them a little and we were just joking around and being all cold and stuff.
Then a little voice said, "contact them." Umm... I didn´t have my
agenda, pen, or even a TIE! But we contacted them, put a cita, and the bus
came. The bus was actually running late, and now I´m realizing as I´m writing
this that it was late so we could talk to them.
So we went to the house on Thursday. THEY ARE THE GREATEST!!!!! Otto
and Marleny. They have a daughter named Jennifer too that’s 7 and the cutest.
We taught them the Restoration and they said they felt like it was the truth,
and that it all makes sense. We also taught them last night with the Fam
Alvarado (that’s why they were on my mind haha) But we taught about the Book of
Mormon and they totally accepted it and they are progressing so so well. We
have found a chosen family to receive the truthfulness of the gospel.
I love this gospel. I love being a missionary and having experiences
like this one!! Please pray for this family. They are so so amazing. Also we
need some super prayers for this Saturday. We have our Book of Mormon activity
planned. We have been to every member’s house; we have given them books to give
to their friends, now we just need everyone to come. Everyone is so excited,
plus we are ready to see some miracles.
I don’t think I’ve said it enough but, I love being a missionary. I
know that Jesus Christ is my Savior, my Redeemer. I’m forever grateful for
the sacrifice He did for me. I´m a representative of His true church here
on the earth. My name is Elder Jensen, and I´m a missionary. So happy and
blessed and healthy and loved.
I love you all so so much. Be good and ALWAYS OPEN YOUR MOUTH. Even
at 3 in the morning. Every time is a good time to share the gospel. And if you
can´t open your mouth, be an example.
I love you!!!!!!
PS today I saw some little goats and I loved them!! There were 2!! I
was scared to get close cause the mommy was there… but she was a sweetheart.
She only said "bwaaaahhh" when we picked up her offspring.
