HEY!!! This week was a good week! We were able to contact a little bit more in our area, and it went really well. We found a lot of new investigators and also found a less active family that we are going to work with to be able to bring them back to church. They are great and have a few kids that are all awesome. We actually found that family while we were working with President Bush. I always learn a lot when we are out with President Bush. We also continued to teach Cristian, so that is going well. We got a reference from a member this past week that said they had a friend they wanted us to teach. When we went to teach her, it was great. She accepted to be baptized, so we are going to continue to teach and help her prepare for that. It is also really HOT!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. But, despite the heat, it was a great day. Have a great week!!!! Ekder Jensen

HEYOO! This week was a good week. It was transfers week, so we were very busy. We tried out a new way of doing the transfers, so we were running around making sure everything was good for that, and it turned out great. It was amazing to see all of the new missionaries and the desire they have to serve the Savior. This week on our way to the airport in one of the early mornings, I was listening to one of the general conference talks, and there was a part that I really liked. It was from the talk named "Until Seventy times Seven." The quote I really liked was "Hopefully, each mistake we make becomes a lesson in wisdom, turning stumbling blocks into stepping stones." I really like that thought, that every time we have a mistake we can either learn from it, move on, and be better, or we can allow it to trip us. We can be better everyday thanks to the Atonement. I hope everyone has a good week! Elder Jensen

Heyooo This week was a good week. We were busy closing a bunch of houses, but we had a good week. We were able to keep teaching Cristian and he is doing great and really wants to learn about Christ. It is starting to get warmer here in San Pedro, and this week is the week they call "Semana Santa." Basically it is the week leading up to Easter. Everyone has work off, and it is kind of funny because all of the streets will be super quiet and empty. It is really different from the rest of the year. Anyway, with Easter coming up, it is an opportunity to remember everything that Jesus Christ has done for us, and to apply that to our lives. We are here because of Him, so that is why this time of year is so special. We need to remember that Christ has risen, and that He lives. Happy Easter everyone! Elder Jensen

Sam's week in pictures... and a few Q&A's. What did you do for P-day? We went to Santa Cruz to deliver a fridge, to the zoo, and to Lake Yojoa. On your mission, when have you seen the Lord's hand in the work you are doing? An experience that I have seen the Lord's hand in my life is whenever an appointment falls through. Something I have learned, is that when that happens, there is someone nearby that needs us to talk to them. So, instead of getting sad about a fallen appointment, I try to look for the person that the Lord is trying to tell me is there waiting for us to talk to them. What would you tell a prospective missionary is the most important thing he/she can do? The most important thing they can do is find themselves on their knees to receive, confirm, reinforce etc. their testimony of Jesus Christ, the Book of Mormon, and living prophets. That is what I would say. How do you feel the Holy Ghost? I know the Holy Ghost is speaking to me when I fee...

HEYO! This week was a good week! Cristian came to church and it was great. We also had a chance to continue to teach him. He has a lot of desire to learn more about the Savior, he just wants to take it piece by piece. So, we have been answering his questions, and he is doing great. Also, we had divisions with the Zone Leaders of San Pedro Sula last Thursday. That was pretty cool because the last time I had been in that area was about a year ago. Kind of interesting remembering everything. We learned a lot, and it was a great experience to see how other people teach. I am really loving the mission right now! Honduras is amazing, I don't care what you see on the news. Today for Pday we played ping pong and soccer with the office of the other Mission. It was cool. I am doing well, and I hope everyone has a great week!!! Elder Jensen

HEY!!! This week was a good week. Very busy and crazy, with the transfers being this week and all. We didn't have that much time in our area this past week, but we were able to teach Cristian again. He is very interested in learning more, and we are excited to keep teaching him about the gospel. I don't have much time today, but this week we will be getting at it again, so everyone have a good week! Elder Jensen

Heyooooooo! This transfer ends next week? Where has the time gone? So weird. Anyway, we had a good week here in San Pedro. We had stake conference this past week, and it was great. One thing that really stuck with me was about the Atonement. We need to gain, and maintain a testimony of the Atonement of Jesus Christ. Once we start to understand the Atonement, and the forgiveness and power that it gives to us, everything else in our lives will start clicking. I know that Christ lives and He knows each one of us, He knows our pains, our sorrows, and our weaknesses. He knows what we need to become more like Him. Most of the time that involves changing something in our lives. One thing that was said in this conference was, "If we are unhappy, we need to look at our lives and find something that we are coming up short on, and change that one thing." I really liked that. Something I have noticed here, is that when we are unhappy, it is because we are thinking about our problem...
