hey this week has been a slow one again. haha i feel like it's the same every week now. it's terrible but elders hinmans headaches are really slowing down the work. we have to stay home for a good while now and the doctors told him to lock himself in a room without light and just sit there till his headaches go away and he still says that they aren't going away. so i don't know what to do. 

we found out that we are both transferring out of iowa city and president Jergensen is putting sisters there. prolly for the best because of all the scantily clad women walking around in the summer and stuff like that. anyway so yeah we are both getting out of here. im excited to stay district leader and transfer. i have no idea where im going to go though. people always say where do you think you could go and i just reply, i have no idea. somewhere in iowa. :) haha no but i don't have any clues as to where im going. 

i have been working on my basketball skills each morning and i do have to say they have improved mucho since the time i played with friends and things like that. im excited. :) haha

not much else to report on. sorry. i definitely will next week though! i love you all. 

love

Elder Jens Smith

what is the best thing this week?  

best thing this week is that we are able to clean our apartment super clean while elder hinman sleeps and gets rid of his head aches. 

when was the last time you got to play soccer?  

last time i got to play soccer was prolly a week and a half ago. i wanna play more. we most likely will either tomorrow or wednesday morning. 

Did you work during the superbowl?  Did you go to someone's house to watch it?  Was it hard to find appointments during the superbowl?    

so we didn't really do anything for the superbowl. everyone knew about it. but no asked us to come over, or to have dinner with them to watch it. but the nice thing was is that we were able to have dinner with the 2nd ward elders and their members who they had dinner with. it was super good. and i got to watch myself dance. practically everyone knows i dance. word gets around when there's a ballroom dancer here on a mission and so they ask me and i say yeah i am a national champion and then they say "are you famous?" and then i say no im just on youtube and they ask if they can watch it and every time i just laugh at how fat i am now compared to then. :) hahahahaha

Tell me your jacket size?  

mmm no idea. but its the pants that i need mainly. there are a lot of stores out here with suits that i can get for very cheap. so if you could just put money on and i can fit them myself and not have to worry about if they don't fit. but yeah we can get a not so good one now and then when i get home get a better one. 

How fat are you now?  (ty's question)   

hahahaha not too fat. im sittin at about 195 area. i have stayed in that area for the last 7 1/2 months. so ty be ready to go running with me when i get home!!!! 

How are you taking to being a leader.  Do you feel like you're becoming a complete leader? 

i love it. i love the pressure cause it keeps me on my toes and keeps me focused on what i have to do and keeps making me want and do better!
