November 28, 2011

Hiiiiiii!!! This week has been wonderful! We had a great Thanksgiving at the Ambrose Family! They are soo nice to us.. :) It’s good to hear that you received those letters.   I thought some of those pictures and videos were quite funny as well..  You guys will receive another letter soon.. I sent one to Victoria and I think one more to Dad.. idk maybe it was the one you already read.. I’m thankful for Grandma Elma and the great example she has been to me. I have always loved her and cared soo much about her.. Tell Grandma Christine to tell her I love her and I’m doing really well on my mission. :) Most of the missionaries always miss home around this time of year. I’m just happy to be out here haha not that I don’t like you guys, I just like it out here a lot more :) I’m excited to get those packages.. Once again thanks mom <3 It makes me happy when I hear how proud dad and the family are of me.. I’m making really good progress. I’m getting better and better each day! It makes me happy to hear how well Clave is doing! Please tell him i said hello and that he needs to email me when he gets his mission call :) haha I miss the geese flying over our house.. I wish we had some geese but they just have swans swimming in the canals haha.. It’s starting to get cold.. This morning we woke up and it had frosted for the 1st time. I was wanting to buy more thermals since I only have 2 pairs.. Would that be okay?? I have learned a lot from the scriptures lately.. before I left you said those scriptures better be worn out.. they are already getting worn. Hopefully they will be in tact when i get home  ;)
 
Do you remember when i told you what Pres. Eyring said to Pres. Shamo? - The time will come when the seekers shall return?? This past week has had plenty of experiences like that.. the 1st we were at the bus stop and a lady walked up to us and wanted to start learning about our church! The next was we were coming back from the chapel and i felt impressed to talk to a lady that was sitting next to me at the stop, so I asked her how she was doing. I asked her a series of questions and she then accepted to be taught. she said she had always wanted to know more about the church! I later thought to myself.. what if God had put her in my path and I didn’t even come out of my comfort zone and talk to her? How would i have then felt if I didn’t do anything about it :) We got invited to Krispy Kream on Saturday.. Elder Burton wanted to see a girl he used to teach.. After we got a dozen of donuts haha… we walked out and this 12 year old kid walked up to us wanting to learn about our church.. We found out that his dad was a LA member and didn’t attend church that much.. We are going to work on re-activating him and maybe even getting this kid to come to church.. :) I thought that was pretty cool of that kid because he walked away from his friends to talk to us.. I thought it showed some courage! Other than that we are going to Windsor to see a Castle and tour for p-day.. Look it up online if you would like haha! I think that is it for this week.. Next week I will update you on everything next week. Moves day is the 7th of December.. Elder Burton has a feeling he will be moved.. So this might be our last moves day together. Thanks for your prayers! Know that I’m working hard :) love you guys

<3 love elder jones
p.s I loved the pictures and videos you guys sent me.. it made me laugh to see those guys
