and because its the funniest story ever. it needed to be posted.
{although you cant even begin to understand how funny this really is}
2 months ago, as jens is preparing his papers:
my family was gathered talking about the most random place he could go
lindsay {sister}: its gonna be billings montana.
everyone starts laughing... billings montana. thats definitely random.
everyday inbetween:
everyone starts cracking the jokes. "jens is going to billings montana"
two weeks ago:
lindsay: i bet brooks {other brother} is going to open jensens call himself and just text jensen and say "you're going to billings fool"
the jokes continue.....
last wednesday:
i knew jensen was getting his call so this is what happened through texts:
me: you're going to billings, fool
jens: i already opened it, and im going to riverside california
me: what? no you didn't. its only 10 in the morning... the mail hasn't even come!
jens: i promise. the family is already here. sorry we didn't wait for you to come down.
me: dont lie to me jens, there is no way that you already got it!
---i immediately got on the phone to call my sister, and it was confirmed that he was lying.---
me: you're such a fool jens. i hope you really DO go to billings.
an hour later:
jens: paige my call really is here, can we please open it?
me: you cant wait til im off work and drive down?
jens: please dont make me wait!
me: okay.... but im at work, so let me go outside so i can hear you guys.
jensens friends show up at my parents house to see him open his call and my sister lindsay opened the door and said, "he already opened it, he's going to billings, fools." obviously she was being facetious. cause he hadn't opened it yet.
i get a call about 10 minutes later.
twinner: he's opening it right now!
{of course i start crying... as he starts reading elder jensen miles nelson... you have been called to serve as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. You are hereby called to serve in the......
i immediately stopped crying. "there's no way!"
all i heard was screaming through the phone and nobody could hear ME screaming to tell me where he was really going. they HAD to be playing a joke on me. after about five minutes my mom got on the phone and said, "he's really going to billings montana."
i made them send me pictures because, of course, i didn't believe it.
i mean, come on people. WHAT ARE THE CHANCES!?!?!?!?!
after i saw the call myself, i realized that it was true.
so jens is really going to billings, montana.
and although we have tried to cover up all our rounds of jokes {because we feel so bad!?!?}
we are so proud of you jens. and we now know that billings montana was your call from the start. {and at your homecoming, you can all tell us that we are the fools, cause it was the best place that you could go!}
congratulations elder. you will be THEE best missionary. {and feb 10 will come too fast.}
we love you.
