The spiders are HUGE here!

Elder Jensen is still in Chalatenango. He has been in El Salvador for 2 months now, has a new companion and the language is coming easier. He says, "The language is going really good. It's awesome to see how fast you can learn the language when you have the Lord's help. It's a huge testimony to me that the Lord has blessed me to understand and speak. I feel like I can finally start focusing more on what and how I teach and trying to focus on having the Spirit while I'm teaching. The mission life is good. I'm used to most of the food, the heat, the hills, the sleep (or lack of) and I love the people here! They're awesome! Especially the members in our rama. They are some of the strongest members I have seen in my life. One member, Leo is 16; he teaches seminary, gives talks about twice a month in sacrament meeting, teaches class sometimes in church, blesses the sacrament every week, he's the branch mission leader, and he knows a ton about church history and the scriptures. Also, every Sunday morning he helps us bring investigators to church and sometimes he goes on splits with us in the evening on Sundays, and he does a ton more that we don't know about. But I haven't once heard him complain about doing all of this. He has no time to do anything else except go to school and then serve the Lord. He's awesome and he's only 16! I think back at what I was doing at age 16 and it was nothing compared to the sacrifices he's making. He's definitely a future apostle. That's the kind of sacrifices that people have to make in these small branches."
