Sick Week

 October 19, 2020

Tuesday we had zone conference and that was good. President Monson gave a great training on the Atonement. The spirit was really strong. 

I now understand why they put fog in Halloween movies because we were driving to zone conference in some of the thickest fog I have seen on the roads ever. It is definitely "spooky season"!

Wednesday morning my companion woke up sick with the flu or cold so we had to cancel all of our great plans and relax. It was kinda a bummer cause we were going to have a ton of lessons! 

Thursday he was feeling a lot better so we went on exchanges. I was with Elder Hoyt which was a lot of fun. This is his first transfer. We went and taught Wesley, a guy we found last week. He is really spiritual and has gone through a lot! We are hopefully going to teach him again Wednesday or Thursday. 

Funny thing is because I was still in my area I had the sim card in my phone and one of the sisters calls and tells us that they were potentially exposed to covid at church and then didn't find out until then, so they exposed all of us . Fortunately it sounds like none of us we actually exposed but we all lost it because Elder Grant was sick.

Friday I started feeling crummy so we took it a little easier. We still went and did some service for this lady the other elders are teaching. For some reason they didn't really contact much of the ward to try and get some members to help and tools etc. So we hit up one of our favorite member boys who is a senior in high school. He said he would come and pulled up with tools and a truck and two friends! He's awesome.  One of his friends gave him some Klondike bars but they decided they wanted to go to Brusters, an ice cream place here. And we were driving and he threw the bars through the windows.  Fortunately we caught them and they didn't splatter all over the car 

Saturday we did some service for some members demolishing a building so that was fun. We were pretty exhausted after that. 

Sunday we had the opportunity to speak on missionary work in church we both were only supposed to speak for 10 minutes each. But somehow we both spoke for 15+. Guess that will be the only time I talk too long! LOL! We had a lesson with Charlene. We had not one, but two member meals this week. One with the Whites and one with our Relief Society president's family. 

Love,

Elder Jenkins
