Chapter 37: Haven't gone hammocking since college

Henry's Baptism!
 Elder Chinchilla
 Spending the night in hammocks!

 Hey guys!
We had a SUPER crazy week this week! Elder Uceda (from the seventy and President of the Central American Area) visited our mission and had training meetings with all the missionaries! It was so cool!

It was a unique experience because as a secretary I got to attend both multizone conferences he held and the leader's council. He spoke a lot about how talking is not teaching, and how we need to help the people we teach live the Gospel, not just learn about it. He also left some specific promises with us, promised success if we gave heed to his counsel and he shared some really spiritual experiences. It was soo cool! Elder Chinchilla and I had a gnarly weekly planning session with some awesome goals and specific plans to help the people we teach in the way Elder Uceda told us we should.

As much fun as the conferences were, it was a VERY busy week for Elder Chinchilla and I. We were essentially running non-stop from Tuesday until Friday night. After the multizone here in the city on Wednesday, Elder Chinchilla and I traveled two hours to Comayagua to prep for the next multizone we had out there on Thursday. So we stayed the night with the zone leaders in an area called Piedras Bonitas (there's not a singe piedra bonita to be found in the whole area, but whatever) and since they didn't have any extra mattresses (and I'm not finna sleep on the ground) we borrowed some hammocks and slept in those! It was some good fun, I'll include some pictures!

And as crazy as our week was, we still managed to have a baptism!! Our boy Henry got baptized and confirmed this week and it was so cool! He's such a nice and funny guy, and we're so glad to see how much he's changed and progressed in these months!

It's been a good week and I'm glad to be in the mission, love you guys!
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...
