Workin out

What's up!

Hmmm this week was well I have another drunk person story but only Grandpa Nicholson will be laughing is head off. Recently we've decided to be going to the gym and lifting weights. It's pretty fun I guess. I went on exchanges with the Zone Leaders and Elder Thompson and I met Colt McCoys center during his career for University of Texas. That was cool. We also got to go onto the air force base and eat dinner with a family from church. I really can't remember the rest of the week but that's okay. Oh we sang at a funeral and did terrible. The funeral was at some funeral home and they weren't of our faith so that's cool. Today we are helping someone move and also we are going to the Zoo. That's it for now. Until next time

Love, Kade Jensen

P.S. I took a picture of 2011 Eleanor but I don't have my camera with me

Hey everybody I put my address up again because people are still sending letters to Amarillo. So this is the address hopefully for another 7 weeks unless I get transferred again. I wasn't going to write this week just cuz I didn't feel like saying anything. But this week has been weird with miracles. We went to Rene and Kendras house and out of no where Kendra says when do I get baptized so we have a date for the 1st of October. Right before meeting with them we had to waste time for 30 minutes so we were going to this one apartment complex and a sign says no trespassing and soliciting so we were getting ready to leave and some guys starts walking over and we are like great here comes the security telling us to get off the property as usual. This guy says hey what church are you? I want to know more about what you teach to people so it was pretty great and he is pretty legit and says he will read the book of Mormon in 2 days and he will be at church.

Last P-day we did the squeeze it challenge. Sister Poulson and Elder Merrill were the funniest ones to watch. I called this email Pranks because I jumped up to the Sisters balcony and 4 of us put a tree branch up there so when they get home they see it. It was super funny but quite a mess. The sisters decided to get us back yesterday. They made us Brownies which we ate after a meeting we had and these brownies had Tabasco sauce in them. We gave them high fives for that.

This passed week I saw Eleanor (the car off of Gone in 60 seconds) I saw the original one and also 2 brand new 2011 Eleanors they look way awesome! A member has an Eleanor and we met another member with a De Lorean these are all sweet cars. It's good to hear Laine's high school career is doing splendid. It sounds like the concert went great! I'm doing well but until next time see ya

Love Kade Jensen

P.S. I met some cousins here. They are the Woodbury family and they are Condies and related to the prophet too!!! Also I met Sister White. She is Karma Ellgen's sister. There are three of us missionaries in one ward who know a brother or sister of Sister White I just so happen to be the one who knows Karma.

Just another week.

Hey yall

So on Friday we went tracting in some apartment complexes felt like I was going to be shot the entire time! It was a very sketch neighborhood but we go there all the time now because we like the adrenaline rush and it's something fun to write about. This guy we met there was crazy but pretty cool once you talked to him. He had no left leg, no right foot, no right forearm, and pretty cool tats. We asked how he got in that situation of losing all his limbs and we were expecting to hear a vietnam story or something but all it was was that he had diabetes and didn't feel like taking care of it. Church was cool especially when you don't know that you are teaching second hour. We had an awesome experience with this lady who called us and said she talked to us weeks ago but it wasn't us she talked with. It was the other missionaries so we have no idea who this lady is. That night we went knocking and ran into some members that knew everything about that lady and we know that that wasn't coincidence at all.

Did you guys all read the September Ensign? I strongly encourage it especially if you are teaching or taking a marriage class. My emails are getting shorter and shorter each week because I get bored of writing the same thing over and over and over again. Ha my journal has some good stuff more detailed. Hahaha oh my gosh we pranked Elder Daines so good yesterday it was so perfect. Oh yeah and guess what today is!!!!! IT'S FOOTBALL TIME! We know where everyone here will be tonight and during church and for family home evening. Today we are going do the squeeze it challenge. Drink 15 squeeze its in 15 minutes. The Sisters fed us French Toast this morning. Thank you Sister Peavler and Sister Poulson. How was the first days of school at Carter? Pretty fun huh. Hmmm what else??? I want to put pictures up but some computers won't allow it like these ones so oh well whatever. Have a good week everybody

It's a small world in Abilene‏

Okay how can I start off for this week. I can start by saying I got packages so don't worry about it and my retainer popped off like 15 days ago the day before I was going to the orthodontist so it's all good now and I just wear the ones at night now. Knocking on doors I met this guy who lived in Cedar City and he told us one of his best friends is named Vernon Condie!! I said that's in my blood! I said that family founded that area and Elder Rowley said that his family founded it too so we too might be related somehow but he was going to pull out his family tree to see how we connect. That same day we ran into a lady who lived in St. George for awhile too!

 

This last weekend was also Stake Conference and the Mission President and Temple President gave talks and the missionaries were on stage singing the choir. Sisters Poulson, Wilson and I had an MTC reunion. It's always fun to see people you came out with. And on Sunday we met the Ward Mission Leader and he served in the Jacksonville ward and his companion was the one who interviewed Megan for baptism. His name is Elder Leveton and he took us out to some chinese restaurant last night. Yesterday we were up and down the city going from place to place because I wrote every former investigator in my planner to go visit them. We couldn't find some but we went knocking in an apartment complex and we knocked 7 doors with the short time we had and six of them opened saying come back and teach more. It was way cool! Last night we also got the cops called on us because the apartment manager called them saying we were soliciting and we told the cop that people told us to come back and so we went back which acceptable to do.

 

I don't know what else to say but this morning played basketball and made 3 full court shots in a row so I was pretty excited about that. We have been taking care of a members dog named Butch and Baby Girl but we call Baby Girl Frank because of the Pug off of Men In Black hahaha it's so funny anyways Butch is a boxer and when you play with him sometimes it's so scary because he is aggressive. Elder Rowley has a video of Butch chasing me down and tackling me. But Butch is way fun he loves swimming. Butch also has a funny story with Elder Gibson. White washing is pretty tough because you don't know anyone and they don't know you so everything is brand new and it's a chance to start fresh. During our free time we started an Obama puzzle I don't know why but he is finished now hanging on the wall. Elder Rowley bought the puzzle for 80% off here in Texas I think people in Texas hate him or something like that. Gotta love the people that's for sure. They say and do whatever they feel.

 

Hmmm.... What else???? Sunday is coming up I think there is something happening then, it must not be that important since I can't remember. Anyways I picked up the word yonder. No one has a thick accent on the west side of Texas but I still got yonder out of it. Oh Yeah!! It's Laine's Birthday!!! 15 already wow I thought it was 14 or 12 but okay time to get a permit and have fun with mom in the passenger seat it's some good times ahead of you. HAHAHA I'm just teasing yall =) I hope everyone is doing well it sounds like they are. Keep up the good work everyone have fun at Carter High School Laine it will be fun. Tell school one teachers hi for me. And everyone should be reading the Good Book everyday and seeking for missionary opportunities. Now is a good opportunity to invite friends to listen to Thomas S. Monson in a month or so.

 

I love you all
