Chapter 23: We're not in Kansas Anymore

 As the Secretary of the mission I have a camera on the computer!

New companion, Elder Chinchilla



 Important information:
My P days are now on Saturday
I had transfers a week early
I'm no longer in the tiny town of La Esperanza
I am now a mission secretary
I'm companions with Elder Chinchilla, my best friend in the mission
I have a washing machine (hallelujah)

What a crazy week this has been!
Elder Nolasco and I received a call on Wednesday that I was going to have an emergency transfer and that I needed to be at the mission offices at 10am the next day to receive my new assignment. That's right, I'm an office missionary now.

It's been super crazy this week, Comayagüela is completely different than La Esperanza. My new area is called Jardines de Toncontín and it's awesome.

I've spent these last couple days learning the ropes, doing a ton of work to prep for transfers next week and adjusting to my new area and assignment, but I couldn't be happier, I'm having an awesome time with new stuff happening every day.

I'm also so grateful to be in a big city. Like I said, life is completely different out here than in my last area. For example, yesterday we went to Wendy's and today we're going to Denny's for lunch. I would say that I'm going to gain the weight back that I lost in La Epseranza, but this city is a lot hotter and built on top of mountains so we're literally climbing hills anytime we go anywhere. It's awesome!

Love you all, Make good choices!
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...
