Hey Everybody
Wow I just had to pick the worst keyboard here at the library but that's okay. I am doing well. Let's see how my week went.... Can't remember anything from Friday or Saturday but Sunday, Justine (10) showed up to church and I confirmed her that was way awesome! Elder McAdams kept whispering don't pass out don't pass out because of my spells and all. But yeah that was cool. Monday was fun but way exhausting and hard. Now that Dorothy and Justine are members we don't have any investigators really so Monday we knocked six hours straight and then Tuesday knocked another 4 hours straight. The title is called Drunk People these days because of Monday we were knocking and only 2 people talked to us in 5 hours so we knocked another house and this guy named Randell is 51 and he was hammered. His dog was the ugliest thing I have ever seen to being 20 years old. Anyways this drunk guy told us to sit outside and he will come back so we sat and talked about what we should teach and we said let's ask him to be baptize just too look at his reaction. He came out wanting to know a story so we did the First Vision and he smoked 5 cigarettes in 15 minutes and all the smoke was hitting Elder McAdams hahaha so he started saying a few bad words here and there and he told us he would stop and we said the name Joseph Smith and The Book of Mormon and he was tripping out like a demon was inside of him. So we just made fun of him asking "So uhh how many drinks did you have? It smells like you showered in it. Hey how does that cancer stick taste? You know it's killing you." And he is completely out of it while we are having a good time messing with his head. I know it was a waste of time but we needed some fun!!! So anyways we asked him if he would be baptized into our church and he told us, "I will only if you go back to your old school ways man ya know what I'm saying man." We asked what do you mean? And he said it's a very VERY bad word man. We just start saying polygamy multiple times and he kept yelling stop saying that word. We were laughing so hard. We exclaimed how we don't practice that anymore and he said that it was man who changed that rule it wasn't god. We just said okay whatever man and messed with his head more. He walked around like gollum and completely acted like him too he would make a weird noise every time we say Joseph Smith and The Book of Mormon. But it totally made my week the best part is he works at one of the Wal-Mart's around here.
Okay now Tuesday is the first day of Zone Conference where we had interviews with the mission president. We had pizza with him. The Vehicle Coordinator and Supplies Elders stayed with us. I finally saw Elder Moss again too which was cool having a reunion. Now wedneday we all woke up early and went to Amarillo High and played Ultimate Frisbee with about 30 of us. There are 10 of us who always play Tuesdays and Saturdays but Wednesday was where everyone is in town. After that there were 8 of us who came to my apartment to shower to head to the stake center. Fast shower. Zone conference went well and I hung out with Elder Moss a lot of the time then we went knocking some more. I can't stand the Texas Sabbath! Every wednesday and Sunday they are all at church so nobody is home to teach. Also school is starting soon which means no one want's us Friday or Saturday because of High School and College football. Now today is P-Day and Elder Moss said they are hopefully coming up to come play basketball today which will be awesome!!! Today is also Sister Augustin's Birthday (President's wife) and tomorrow is Dorothy's birthday and Saturday we have a ward picnic with kickball and water balloons.
Wow Laine is doing all the church things possible this month. Trek, EFY, BYU, Girls Camp! That's so cool!! Hopefully she learns a ton about the gospel and what the Spirit feels like. Never forget that feeling. I wish I can do Cascade Lakes Relay that would be so much fun. I wouldn't be going as fast as usual ha. Seems like the camping at the coast went well. Dad you gotta stop complaining about Oregon heat. It's great to hear that Kelly is going to New Mexico for his mission it will be tough work. I haven't heard from Greyson but that's good he is doing well tell his family I'm doing well. I'm glad everyone is doing so well!
Love, Kade Jensen
P.S. I forgot to write above somewhere that the more I've been with Elder McAdams the more he reminds me of Jordan Rigby! He acts and talks like him.
