HELLO GUYS!! She sent you that picture :) she said she wanted to surprise you and tell you how my progress was going haha, I guess she really did.. I will def tell her what you told me to tell her. WOW that’s great that 2 more boys are leaving! I’m soo happy to hear that! Things are going alright. The family we are teaching is hit and miss kinda.. The mom is an alcoholic and her kids are golden. I wonder how they put up with it all sometimes. So they really have a rough time. She makes these dolls! She has got a gift of making these dolls, they are crazy, you will just have to see later when you get the package :) yeah so just watch out for my account okay :) I can’t wait to get a postcard from Chicago! i love that place <3<3
It has been a sad week for me in a way. I hope the family feels the prayers that are going out for them and things work out alright. Please send my love to them. People can change! I know that because I have seen it and I’ve seen how people change.. I still have really high hopes for my buddy and I know everything will come out good in the end :) Man what a small world huh?? To know Andre is just walking into all these people! :) ha-ha it makes me laugh. Tell the family how much very I love them and how I feel all the prayers that are going out for me.. If it weren’t for them I probably wouldn’t be doing too well. Thanks everyone. The weeks are getting better but are slowing down.. I’m learning a lot from my scriptures and preach my gospel. I want to get to the point where I can answer everyone’s question with a scripture and also put in my feelings on things :)
I loved that talk about the priesthood! I hope I can purify my heart each day so that when the times come I can call upon the heavens so that I may speak with the tongues of angels.. When I asked you to pray about Wayne the guy that was in the bad accident and how I then told you nothing worked out. Well we helped them move there things into a storage unit the other day and I found myself alone with him.. It was kind of weird but I knew something was going to happen.. He said Jones I will read your Book of Mormon if you read these pamphlets... I gladly took them and set up another appointment with him.. Elder burton said that was odd that he would do that. I studied these pamphlets to know them and his beliefs. I know for a fact that the prayers are being answered in a way. We all need to work on patience.. Heavenly Father answers our prayers when they need to be answered.. So I guess I need to work on having more patience.. These next 2 months or the 4 weeks I’m with Elder Burton we decided to work our behinds off so that we may be able to have a baptism for Christmas.. that’s the goal! I know if we work for it and are faithful to our goals the lord will bless us! I’m hoping we can give that mom I was talking about a blessing so that she may get over her addiction to alcohol and be baptized!
Thank you guys for your prayers and comments!
Love Elder Jones
