HEY guys!! This week has been difficult but nothing too big. Chris decided that he doesn’t want to get baptized on the 24th.. He said that he has too much going on and that he feels that a better time for him will be in January. We felt that that would be right... we don’t want to just baptize someone who will later fall away from the church, we want people who are going to benefit the ward not just make them deal with more less-actives. We are teaching a kid named Decklin. He came up to us wanting to get taught. He has been taught before by missionaries. He could possibly be baptized on the 24th or the 26th we are not sure.
This week has def gone by fast. It makes me happy to know that you have enjoyed those pictures! :) Elder Burton is way funny haha Moves day is on Wednesday. One of us might get moved, we are still not sure how it is all going to take place. We didn’t end up going to Windsor Castle. We decided to go to a town further north called Oxford, that place is way fun. One of the missionaries serving there was celebrating his 1 year mark so we wanted to go to a little get together :) it was fun! I am happy I made the choice of coming on a mission.. Even though I still don’t yet realize the blessings of it, it has made me happy and I have seen my spiritual growth :)
That’s nice to hear that Rodrigo got baptized.. It makes me happy.. Mom thanks for all your prayers and fasts :) I have seen the impact it has had on me lately! I will begin praying to know what we can do better.. This month we have decided to visit the less-actives and re-activate them. I’m sure it will go well :) Hopefully one of us doesn’t get moved so we can see the growth of the ward come back! That’s amazing to know that you did that around the wards in your mission, mom! I wish I could have taken singing more seriously so that I could offer that :) haha this Christmas we will have a big get together at the temple.. It will be our zone which should be way fun :)
I forgot to mention that one of our investigators (Wayne) promised us he would read the Book of Mormon if we read some of his stuff... he keeps on trying to convert us which is way funny :) he ended up giving us this Anti book! Elder Burton read it clear through with no problem.. So I thought it wasn’t that big of a deal.. I picked it up and right away felt a spiritual prompting to set it down.. The book was full of darkness.. It scared me! I read the intro and gave up. I followed the promptings given instead of ignoring them.. Who knows what could have happened.. Anyways I thanked Heavenly Father for that :) I have been learning sooo much! I have been writing it down in my journal.. I loved that insight about the Atonement :) I will copy that down and put it in my study journal! This week has been okay.. not the best.. I’m sure this week will be wonderful!
I love you soo much! I am excited to get the packages! :)
talk to you soon :) Love Elder Jones
