Bananas and Potassium??

What a week! Wow! Feels like I was just here a day ago... but it was 7 yikes!

Sorry about last week.... We had a scheduling mishap (my bad) and I was only able to email for like an hour in stead of the usual 2+.

So this week was crazy!

Tuesday- District meeting and reporting numbers in the morning. Then a lesson with Douglas... he is coming along slowly. He finished the Book of Mormon last week. It took him about 4 month to read it all... which is faster than the average member! So that is awesome! Tuesday evening started the phone calls with president....1 of 7. And we had to do a little prep for the mission broadcast.

Wednesday- Was the world wide missionary broadcast! it was awesome!! So cool to be able to learn at the feet of Apostles of the Lord! Imagine being at the Jerusalem conference with Peter! And it was all on missionary work!! So great! Afternoon 2 of 7 with president. Then just some regular proselyting. then we started an exchange with one of our district leaders. I was with the Elder he is training. Evening 3-7 with president.

Thursday- an awesome exchange! we taught a couple of lessons and I was able to help the new guy with some personal struggles! It was great!

Friday- We went over to Victorville to get supplies and we taught a new investigator in the YSA ward. His name is Diego. He is a self proclaimed atheist, but we got him to pray at the end of the lesson. That was amazing!! He has some amazing potential.

Planning and another Phone call. 4/7

Saturday- We taught Kenny in the morning. He is awesome. He has been to church twice now! On Tuesday we are taking one of Uncle Nathan's mission companions to teach him. (obviously one of Nathan's former mission companions from 20+ years ago....now living in Apple Valley area). Then we taught Lyn and Lanice with our Ward mission leader. It was a good lesson on the plan of salvation. (5/7 with president). Then meeting with President Hobbs! Not related to the phone calls thankfully. We have a Zone conference coming up. So us and the STL's met with President and Sister Hobbs to discuss what we would be training on and whats going to happen. The evening was filled with the reason for all the calls with president. Some missionaries in my zone along with their ward were putting on a musical fireside.... and somehow we got sucked in. Also they needed permission from president to do it.... so yeah... I was particularly unimpressed with it. And sick of being grilled by President about it. Saturday night 6/7 with president.

Sunday- We had Taylor and Kenny at church! It was Awesome! We also taught Taylor after church... it was kinda awkward 'cause he asked to meet with the sisters too....

Sunday evening 7/7 with Preisdent Hobbs. So in total between phone calls and our meeting I spent 4-5 hours talking with president Hobbs... thats more than like 2 total transfers.... I am slightly upset.

BUT me and Elder smith are killing it together!! we are having so much fun and success. So many inside jokes (like bananas and potassium) hahah loving life!

Also love you guys

Love

(follow-up clarifying email)

It has been a heck of a week!! super busy! lots of shenanigans.... like i spent over 4 hours talking with president hobbs.....

 yep lol I was not impressed.... but hey its over and i am happier now!

Just to clarify. Me and Elder Smith still get along great!!! both of us were on presidents side... but it was still ridiculous! Life is great!!

Also please tell Melanie Hansen that her medley of "As sisters in zion and armies of helaman" is the best ever!

We live with the same guys as last transfer. Elder Topham ( who i trained) and Elder Hurren.

Also cool story a guy in my ward was Nathan comp in finland... like 99.974% sure... Unless there were 2 elder forsyth's or Elder healy's.

Love

Elder Jensen
