Chapter 17: I'm a big kid now

RIP Elder Martinez

Hey everybody!
What a gnarly week, there's some big changes coming up!

First and foremost, this was my trainer, Elder Martinez's, last week on the mission! So to celebrate we worked harder than we have before and it was awesome! I'm really grateful for the time I've had with Elder Martinez, he was a fantastic trainer and a great guy. We got along really well so... Rest in peace, my dude.

Also I've officially finished my training! Woohoo! I'm like, a big-kid missionary now! It's going to be a lot of fun because they're bringing in another companionship into my area, my new companion is going to be the branch pres, and I'm the only one of the four of us who actually knows the area! I'm really stoked because if the four of us are really diligent, I know we can see a lot of progress in good ol' Esperanza! Anyway because transfers are tomorrow, I don't actually know who my new comp is or who the new missionaries are going to be so stay tuned for next week!

But like I said, we worked really hard this week. Even though all our baptisms fell through the day before the baptism, we weren't discouraged and used it as motivation to work harder. We met and surpassed our weekly goals for contacts and news and saw some miracles! I hope to keep up the hard work and see some real progress out here!

Anyway hope you all are doing well, love you all!
Elder Jensen

A pie that the Bishop's family from my last ward baked for me when they learned I was getting transfered! Me blinking in front of the Comayagua sign (ft. Elder Murray) Pics with my boy at the temple! (ft. my new suit) Food storage!   Hey guys! Kinda crazy how much the world has changed in these last 7 days. Here's what's new with me: Transfers: I'M FINALLY TRAINING A NEW MISSIONARY!!!! Woohoo! His name is Elder Nabaum, he's from Heber City, Utah. He's a great guy! I'm opening an area in a city called Juticalpa! It's really hot and humid here, but I'm loving it! We're assigned to a small branch called Belen (hence the subject line) and so far so good! We've still only met a few of the members (because thanks to Coronavirus, we didn't have sacrament meeting yesterday) but we're out here doing our best! I'm really happy and we totally called it this transfer! We've been predicting this transfer for a couple weeks now! What is wei...

District Pedicures My Companion and I experiencing a pedicure for the first time Elder Murray dulling our only good knife Celebrating my 20 months on the mission with Cinnabon William's baptism!   Hey guys! This week it was overcast and slightly raining for 3 days which made the weather not that hot for those days, so that was a blessing William's Baptism: Saturday was leap day we celebrated with a baptism!! Our boy William was baptized on Saturday, and even though he doesn't smile in any pictures, we promise he was really happy that day! He's such a wholesome kid and he's really smart too! This week we're going to teach him about the priesthood to prep him to receive the Aaronic Priesthood this week or next! District Pedicures: Our good friend Hermana Cox is ending her mission this week and may have convinced our whole district to get pedicures together... So I got my first pedicure this week. It was an interesting experience, but I don't think it was reall...
