Elder TJ Jensen - Idaho Boise Mission - Gracious Savior Representative

It was a great week this week, still getting used to the new area. Tuesday we visited the old penitentiary in downtown Boise. Then after that we visited a family that doesn't make it to church too often and had some good chili. Wednesday morning Elder Norgan wanted to sell his G-Shock watch, and the closest store is in London and we needed to fix something so we talked to a lady in London for a bit. Then we did service at a food bank with a Reverend and his wife. Then we biked to garden city and got muddy from all the snow slush and I ran into a guy with my bike because my one brake was all wet. But the guy barely noticed somehow. Then I shoveled snow for the first time, we shoveled the driveway where we live.  That night we visited a woman who served in Afghanistan. Thursday I got boots that fit me. We also shoveled the driveway yet again. That night we shared a good message with a family that really brought in the spirit. Friday we had a council with our district, then biked ...

Great week! It was full of different things.  Tuesday we did service at idaho youth ranch and sorted clothes. Then a member drove us to big bun and got us lunch. Then we did some family history work. Then we taught a lady about how to quit smoking. Then we met a family who had just moved in and started teaching them and we had a great disscussion with them Tuesday. Then we got our transfer calls. Sadly I had to leave my good old pal Elder Parker. But now I'm with Elder Morgan whos originally from Ukraine which is pretty cool.  Wednesday was full of goodbyes, and a member bought us tacobell. We also had a good lesson with a girl whos getting baptized next month. I said goodbye to a good friend of mine whom Ive fasted and prayed for that he would reach out to the bishop for help with some things and he finally did it...after 6 months! So right after we left the bishop came to his house. Hard work pays off! Wednesday night we couldnt sleep, and I got a cold too.  We go...

Great week this week, ate lots.  Tuesday we did service at a thrift store then a man we see every now and then took us to subway. We also gave him a blessing for an injury he has. We called some people and got some people referred to us. Then we visited some people and met a high school friend of the singer Nicki Minaj which was interesting. Then we got a foot detox.  Wednesday we went to a man we teachs house but he wasnt there, then we studied then ate at olive garden. Then we taught a girl about Repentance, then we taught a kid about the Restoration of the Gospel at a frozen yogurt place. Then we taught a family about attending church.  Thursday we planned, then one of our good buddies took us to Olive garden for lunch again. We visited some people then had a good dinner. Then we saw more people and knocked on a frat houses door, replaced a bike tire, then BSU student took us home.  Friday we had a good meeting with other missionaries, then we ate mexican ...

Just got done at a trampoline park and dunpster diving for a ring I accidentally threw away.  Was a good week this week. We met with a family at another familys house and talked about the Word of Wisdom Tuesday night (keeping our bodys healthy and all the good stuff).  Wednesday Elder Parker had a stomach bug so we didnt do much for half the day. Then we had a good lesson with a girl we teach. Then we went to a dinner and met another guy we can start teaching.  Thursday we planned for the week then a member took us to subway. Then we tried more people.  Friday we had a big conference with many missionaries, we also heard a great quote about our Savior: "he came to pay a debt he didnt owe, because we owed a debt we couldn't pay". Then after the meeting we had dinner and met a disabled veteran who is looking for his spirituality and peace in his life. Then we visited a man Ive been seeing since Ive been to this area and he finally decided to reach out for ...
