April 27th, 2013


Hey y'all                                                                                                          April 27, 2013

We had a good crazy week. 
I think I’m just getting used to being super busy because it doesn't feel like we’re as busy as we used to be when we first got here. I’m pretty sure we’re as busy or busier, but I think I’m just used to it now. Sunday we went over to the Kwons house with some of the other Koreans and ate with them for lunch. We taught the Armstrongs, things are going well with them. Their Dad sat in for part of the lesson and seemed to be semi interested. 
Monday - we did some P-day stuff on that day because I was in a meeting Saturday morning during our P-Day. We went to Philly with the Widener Elders. It’s not really exciting to go to Philly anymore just because I’ve already been there so much and got millions of pictures. But everyone else hasn't been. We went to the T-shirt shop and I got shirts for all of you guys. I also bought a small version of the Liberty Bell. We also went to Love Park and then went and got cheesteaks on our way back. The rest of the day was kind of busy getting mission stats done and other stuff. 
Tuesday - I’m going to skip to the evening. We had an appointment with Moylan. We taught him in Presidents office. We set up a projector and hooked my iPod and watched the restoration video with him. It went pretty good. Wednesday - Did various things in the office. It sounds like nothing, but I just can't remember what we do in the office each day because there is so much. But I was getting ready for Zone Leader Council. I’m adding a lot of new stuff to our Google Docs spreadsheets for the Zone Leaders, adding graphs and charts and other things to help them track their numbers etc. It’s complicated and a lot of work! That night we went over to the Andersen’s for dinner they are really cool nice couple; they kind of remind me of Kylee and Jake a little. After that we went and taught the Dixons the Plan of Salvation. It went good, Taft is still on for his date, and his sister Jess is slowly getting more interested. Thursday - Had District Meeting. After we went and got some burgers and fries and ate as a district outside. That was a pretty busy day. I had lot of stuff to get done in the office. We had interviews with President, mine went good. I asked him if I could re-design our mission logo and he said yes. We talked about a few ideas. He is really happy that we have some good things going on in our area and that we aren't just stuck in the office. He bugs us about that a lot. He also confirmed that I will be here for a while, and that the new Mission President will be relying on me for a lot of things. That's going to be interesting; I’ve never had a new Mission President before. We did more Zone Leader Council Preparation and had our coordination/dinner with the Baileys. 
Friday - was very busy. We started early, had to go buy some stuff before Missionary Leadership Council started at 9am. This was the first time that the new Training Sisters came to this meeting. Normally it’s just the Zone Leaders. We did our presentation, it went very good. We also got the Assistants to pull Pres. & Sister Schaefermeyer out into the hall to distract them so that we could tell the Zone leaders about the surprise gift for the Schaefermeyer's and other office couples. 
We worked on various things throughout the day. We had the luncheon out in the parking lot because somebody was setting up for a wedding in the gym. We had to go pick up a few cars from the shop with Elder House. After the meeting was over things got crazy in the office, because everyone needed something. Then we had to hurry and drive some Zone Leaders to their new apartment to deliver a check in time to be able to move in. We also ended up driving down to New Castle, DE to pick up some furniture. We got back late and I went straight to bed because I was pretty tired.

Today we are going to Valley Forge National Park. Should be fun, I hardly know anything about it or what to expect. So I just found out we are opening 9 new apartments and area's this next transfer! All but two of those are Sisters areas. That’s crazy it’s probably the most we've ever opened! It also creates a ton of work for me. I was on the phone for a while yesterday with Electric and Gas companies to set up accounts for just one apartment, 9 is going to be crazy. It’s coming fast! Its two weeks away. It will be cool to see Kenzie H.!

Congrats/Good luck Kylee on Graduating!! That's awesome. I got her announcement in the mail. I showed it to my District since they were all in the office. Looks good!
Well I think that's it!
Love ya!
OHH... I forgot to mention.... we CAN Skype for Mother’s day. So I will see where I can do it at. I might just buy a cheap webcam and do it here in the office. We will see. We actually might do a Google+ Hangout because then you can do multiple people video chat. I will let you know.
Chow,
Elder Jeremy Jensen.
