Important People in the Mission

Dear family,

I wanted to tell you about a few of the key people in my mission right now.

The Nelsons. Elder Nelson is the Fleet and Flat Manager -- he takes
care of all the cars and the flats in the mission and lays down the
law when a landlord isn't cooperating or something. No one can beat
Elder Nelson when it comes bargaining. Sister Nelson handles all of
the supply orders and baptismal records that come in across the
mission every month (which is a lot). If there are any mistakes, she
calls up the missionaries and gets all the details from them. Without
Sister Nelson, we'd never have any real baptisms -- it is recorded in
heaven only if it is recorded on earth. They're from California,
Central Coast, and don't have too long to go on their mission. They're
great. I love them. They always want to serve us and are very grateful
for the service we render, always letting us know of their thanks.
Sister Nelson likes Gladys Knight's (Night? I don't know...)
renditions of LDS songs -- great stuff.

The Passehls. Elder Passehl watches over the financial side of things.
He's always busy with holding someone accountable for their speeding
tickets. Always funny stuff. He is hilarious. He heard we got lost one
time returning from another one of our expeditions south of North
Shore to help someone with something (I think we were picking up new
missionaries). He thought that was great, so he proceeded to mock us
by asking us if we needed a GPS on our way to the motel where the
missionaries would stay. The motel is literally two minutes away.
Sister Passehl is great, too. She is President Lekias's secretary. She
likes to mock us with her husband but always expresses her gratitude
for us. She made us some great apple cinnamon muffins the other --
wow. That's all I can say about those muffins.

Both the ofice couples always make us feel very appreciated and are
great examples of gospel living. I know that those who decide to serve
senior couple missions make a great impact on many missionaries with
their examples and the Spirit that accompanies them. The Lord needs
everyone that is able to come and serve Him to bring about the
salvation of His children.

I love this work. No experiences for today. I hope the email is good
still. I will tell about miracles next week. Love you all! Buh bye.

Love,
Elder Jensen
