Happy Birthday Elder Jensen!!

It was Jared's birthday today!! Here is the extremely meaningful text from his brother, cough cough. Janika and Brandon sent him a potato in the mail for his birthday, and Jared thought that was pretty cool that you could actually send a potato directly through the mail (not in a package) but with the address written right on it!

Jared had requested that we please NOT send him any junk food for his birthday. The only thing he wanted was juggling rings and a copy of Mormon Doctrine by Bruce R. McConkie. We sent him juggling rings and also juggling balls from Amazon. We couldn't find the Mormon Doctrine book because it is out of print (and Rick warned him that much of it is opinion and not actual doctrine). But we found it later and sent it him.

On his birthday Elder Jensen got to go to the temple with Catelynn, who was just baptized on Saturday, and he said that was the best birthday present ever! (Rick and I also celebrated Jared's birthday tonight by doing a session in the St. George temple). A lady in their area who is famous for singing to everyone on their birthdays called and sang "Happy Birthday" to him and members from his ward had him over for dessert! So he had a great birthday!!
