This was yet another legendary week!
I mean how can it not be when you're with the legendary Elder Young?! Seriously
this guy is the best, I'm pretty sure we discovered this week that we're
related somehow through Polygamy somewhere down the path so that's pretty
funny! No wonder he's like a brother to me! We love jamming to David Archuleta's new song "I will go and do," what a good one!! (I'm sorry
though because in a few weeks it could very well turn into "I can only
imagine by David Guetta") but for now this one will be the song haha
Since we are still living the dream
life as much as a missionary could in quarantine, we had our zone
conference over zoom this week. It was a good time, President and Sister
Shumway would probably be translated if they didn't have so many foolish
missionaries constantly dragging them down haha. They taught us some valuable
lessons about revelation etc. It was a good time! Then Elder Young and I got to
give our training which was one of those hype up Trainings that's like
"come on we got this let's have some exceedingly great faith!" Anyways we talked a lot about how we gotta do all we can in our valuable time
we have as missionaries and how the Lord loves our efforts! And President liked
our training so we got to give it again to the entire mission over a zoom call
later in the week! It was super cool!! We used to do stuff like that when I was
in the office so that was fun to do it here again in Freeport!
Also this week we got permission and
were able to set up this service project for our zone at this food Bank in
Rockford! So it was the first time I've actually met pretty much everyone from
the zone in person haha. It was so legendary!! We had to wear masks which again
I don't get what's all the hype with the masks these days but everyone is still
wearing them! I've never actually seen a trend that's so intense to the point
that they make you wear them just to go out in public?! They must be a pretty
big deal or something! Anyways our zone is probably the coolest zone I've ever
served in. I don't think I've ever had this much love for a group of
missionaries in my mission. They are so faithful! Some legendary friends for
sure!!
So usually we hit up the church to
do some Facebook messaging. This week we hit the grind hard and found 5 new
people to teach through it. It's been pretty sick! Anyways we were there one
day and a member came and was like, "Hey Elders so I went to KFC and
'accidentally' got too much so here are two full meals for you." Well, so
much for 3 weeks to sexy finish strong and fit Elder Jensen super program! So
in sadness and pain we began to eat this fast food when another member calls
and says:
"Hello, it is my birthday and I want to celebrate it by dropping
off a treat to you." Well rest in peace our fitness super program because
this so called "treat" was stinking McDonald's!! So we had KFC and
McDonald's and my very arteries were clogged as we went home that night to some
healthy crockpot chicken we had prepared which now became left overs haha.
These members are so fun lol but I think sometimes we gotta avoid them for the
sake of remaining healthy. Freeport members are a whole bunch of fun though
it's crazy that I'll have served in this area and probably will finish without
ever officially meeting them.
Anyways I'm going to close this one
off because I'm about to get my hair cut done by the missionary who
knows how to do it and got permission from Pres to be the "travel haircut
guy" (because everywhere is closed) hey my people I'm going to hop off
that plane with a President Nelson haircut probably so that'll be an adventure!
Stay blessed this fine week!!
Elder Jensen
