day 75

well this week has been a normal week.

first we start off and have p-day like normal and help a less active put up some sheet rock in his house and then he took us out to lunch.

on tuesday...i can't remember what we did on tuesday. must have been a regular day.

wednesday, we went up to Des Moines and had zone conference which was awesome!!! so i get to the stake center and walk into the gym and who do i see when i get in there!? Elder H!!!! hahaha i was so stinkin happy to see him and hugged and started talkin and laughin and oh i wish i could see him more often!! i missed that kid so much! haha it was such a good time. it was also a spiritual time as well. we got trained about what a spiritually mature missionary does and what a spritually immature missionary does and it really made me see some of the things that i thought i was doing good on and see that i can improve them. so the car that you see is now traded in for a 2008 red for fusion. the elders in newton traded with us. i have no idea why. it's not as good as the 2011 but...can't argue with the lord. 

then thursday...are you ready for this, we had to go to JAIL!!!!!! :(...not a pleasant experience...but also an awesome one as well. :) we went to visit a son to a less active in our ward who had just got put in there so we went to talk with him and see how he's doing. turns out that you can only go see someone only once a week if your clergy.

friday was pretty normal. we saw lots of less actives and invited them to come to general conference and then we went to help a Part Member family move. that was way fun. being able to be in our civies (thats short for our civilion clothes) and having nobody recognize us from the branch. haha funny. they all were like "we didn't recognize you without your white shirts and ties."

saturday and sunday we watched conference and visit a member who had just had surgery on his intestines for some reason which i don't know.

 and now this week starts! well i guess i will fill you in on this week next week!!! haha love and miss you all.

love,

Elder Jens Smith
