Elder Jackson: Ward Missionary
Turns out Elder Jackson is what you call a ward missionary. He hasn't decided if he wants to be a full-time missionary yet. He had a call, but changed his mind two days before going into the MTC. He was certain other missionaries would judge him because of his tattoos, which almost prevented him from being able to serve at all. Lately he's been working with local missionaries by going on "splits" for several months off and on. When he visited me, I asked Elder Jackson to tell me a little about himself. Turns out he has done a lot of competitive martial arts. Translation: he had to be solid muscle under those clothes. That first meeting we mostly talked about member missionary work, and then exchanged numbers. For those who don't know, "splits" is when missionaries split up from their assigned companion and do missionary work with someone else. For example, when two companionships swap companions and missionary has another full-time missionary companion for the day. Or in this case, a full-time missionary companionship might go on splits with two stake missionaries. I was watching UFC a few weeks later, and texted him to join me. 20 minutes later he was knocking on my door. This time, Jackson really opened up. Turns out he's definitely into girls. He's gone on missionary splits a few times, and the Elder he splits with apparently likes to visit the local strip club. I couldn't help but laugh when he told me this. And he laughed when I asked him to do a movie. Luckily for both of us, in the end he said yes Two weeks later after "splits," we met at a hotel and made this movie.
