Hey Mum!!
How I love my comp! We work so well together and are pretty much best friends now! I have seen a few pictures of his dad’s leatherwork!! Crazy huh! They also love painting! :) This week has had its ups and downs like every week. Tanya the lady that called and told us it was a miracle that we stopped her, fell of the face of the earth. I’m wondering if the less active guy said anything to her. I hope not because she is such a great lady! We have met some great potentials. Most of them didn’t want to hear what we had to say and others want to see us again. I know we are going to find some great people! One of the miracles for this week was, a guy named Damemder Kumar was given to us through a referral. Most of our referrals are the most solid ones! We went over to his flat, he told us he was studying in Yorkshire University and his school visa expired so he had to move to Reading University. He was being taught by the missionaries in Yorkshire and had a baptismal date! He is studying bio-medicine and his finishing his PHD. He wants to find a vaccine for the plague! How crazy is this guy! He is sooo cool! He is from India so we are just waiting for his school visa to get here and we will get this guy baptized ASAP! This Sunday all 3 of us fasted together so that his visa might come! Hopefully this weekend we can schedule a trip to go to the visitor’s center at the temple! Im soo happy :) Addie my RC has gone back to Nigeria. I miss him... I didn’t get to see him before he left because we both were soo busy. Chris is still on to get baptized on the 11th of February.. :) can’t wait!!!! This Sunday a lady walked into the Reading ward saying she wanted to know more about our church! She said I had given her a Book of Mormon and bore testimony about it! I cannot remember her to save my life! She had a dream that night were a guy came to her and said "follow your heart". She has been looking for truth and randomly just walked into church, she wants to get taught by the missionaries! Im soo happy I’m still close to my old ward to keep close to the people I taught and stopped on the streets! Funny thing that happened this week was we knocked on this door and a guy warned us to get off his porch before he came after us! I laughed a little because he was a jerk.

We have taught members, less actives and recent converts this week! I have learned so much from this one girl named Kailash! She shared a spiritual thought with us on forgiveness! She is sort of autistic but is there enough to make her own decisions. Anyways she was saying how people are mean to her and she tries to forgive people when they do wrong! It makes me cry to think about it but it made me think of the times I have been a jerk to people. When I get home I want to apologize to a few people! I didn’t understand at the time what being mean was! I understand now.
We have been working very hard! Elder Fawson and I give each other a run for our money haha! Try and keep up with me while I keep up with you kind of a thing! :) Today we are going to give a blessing to a member who has epileptic fits ( I hope its spelled like that) through faith we will work a miracle if it be Gods will! She is a great lady! This next week we are going to have another zone conference and district meeting! Pres Shamo asked me to start taking driving lessons because I will need a license in the future! SO excited! Not sure if I can handle driving the right side haha I guess we will see how it goes! We had interviews and he spoke so open with me! Pres Atchinson asked for Crystal and me to stay close by. Who knows why he still needed us close by but I will figure it out in the long term! I often times look at myself from where I was till now! In 5 months it’s amazing to see what you can become! " 19 years of preparation, 2 years to serve, and a memory forever to remember" :) I have strengthened my testimony, I am turning into an instrument in the hands of our Father, I love seeing change, love challenges so I can become more humble. It is getting cold! Supposed to snow this week! I doubt it though. Weather here is unpredictable! I wish I could write down all I have learned this past week but I am writing it all in my study journal!
I love you family! Keep smiling-
Love elder jones-
***I felt a little sad knowing that grandma had passed... dad sent me a few videos which i loved! :) Thanks for telling me you were getting surgery haha I hope you get feeling better mum. When you got to Thatcher please stop by the Alders and Innes families to tell them I’m doing soo good! :) It is getting nice and cold this week! Hopefully it will snow! I wish i had more time to write sometimes but i do try to put the most important things in the email.. tonight I will write in my journal about a lot of this! :) I’m glad I made great grandma happy! She has been one of my heroes growing up :) Shared a lot of memories with her!
