  Andrew Jensen 6:36 PM (2 hours ago) to  Andrew , bcc:  me What's up everyone??!! It's been a pretty good past couple of weeks. We had transfer planning a couple weeks back and it was super good and super inspired as always. Our area got changed from Pueblo to Spanish Hills! So I'm back in the area I served in from April to July. It was so good to see all the members and new members that I knew from that time. Julie (who was baptized back in September) spoke in church. It was so cool seeing someone who I helped teach now teaching me   It's been amazing to see the change that the Gospel of Jesus Christ has brought in her life    Also this transfer I'm not going to be traveling around at all. I'm going to miss traveling around the mission, but after doing it for basically 6 months straight, just working in an area is pretty refreshing. We still have quite a few meetings, but for the most part I'll just be in an area!! I'm also still companions...

I was companions with Elder Gates earlier in my mission and Wednesday marked one year since we became comps and I was with him that day which was kinda cool. They're teaching so many amazing people. Their friends Andrew and Robyn were just baptized last night after meeting with the missionaries since April. They knew it was true like 2 weeks in but they just needed to get married which they finally did!! Even though I've only had one lesson with him, Andrew is like my favorite person in the world. He chose the opening hymn of the baptism and he chose the Star Spangled Banner   God bless the U.S.A.  I then went with Elder Goode and Elder Scott in the Flamingo Spanish ward. I had no clue what was going on the whole time. I did get to anoint someone in spanish which was pretty cool. And then they asked me...

  This week was so awesome!! I loved it so much!  On New Year's Day I was on exchanges with Elder Petersen. He's such a good missionary and we had so much fun. He was trying to kick a rock between my legs the whole day. We were on a doorstep and he kicked a rock and it nailed my ankle. I swear that was some of the worst pain I’ve ever had   We also found this amazing new friend named Kadir. We set the goal in the morning to knock all the houses with open garages. We hadn't been very good at the goal so halfway through the day we decided to lock in. The first one that we knocked didn't answer, but his neighbor walked outside right as we knocked and he's so prepared. He had been inside and he felt tempted to give in to his addictions but he felt he really needed to go outside and right as he did, we were there. We had another amazing lesson with him and a youth in our ward who is completely blind (shoutout Rocco for being legendary) and then Kadir came to church the n...
