Jens went into the MTC on August 17, 2017. That was a bittersweet day. We all went over to the grounds just east of the MTC, just below the temple. We took some pictures and hugged him goodbye. Then drove across the street and dropped him off.
He was assigned Elder Clark as his companion. These two got along great! They have a lot in common and became instant friends! Thankfully I have a few friends who work at the MTC who would send me pictures when they would see him. Richard Fifita, who does the grounds, saw him one day and took some pictures and a video and sent them to me. Holly Biefuss, who pins the badges on the missionaries when they arrive, took a picture of him and sent it to me too.
When Jens first went into the MTC, he already had one friend there, Elder Nate Kiesel (far right). Then his best friend Cooper Smith (center) came in two weeks later.
Jens had lots of friends come inn while he was there:
