Elder Jones

  Let's just say we had a little police incident this week but it wasn't me this time thankfully! Yesterday we go over to teach miles and we turn on to his street and theres 4 policemen with all of their lights on and I joke over to Elder Nelson "its Miles!" Then we drive past and it turned out to be Miles, haha pretty nuts. Luckily we got him off of drugs so there was no issue but he did have expired plates. Miles hasn't been making to much progress he doesn't really smoke anymore but has other problems we are working with but he keeps giving us new people to teach, in total now 6 people found through Miles. It's been pretty crazy everytime we go to his house he has some new story but I still have faith. Our teaching pool is still really good, now we just need to continue to help people progress, Haley (the atheist) went to a church activity and seemed to like it and committed to go to church but then her dog decided to give birth so she wasn't able t...

Sorry this is going to be a super short email. But this week we have been working hard, and we have seen a lot of success finding new people and helping them progress. We are teaching an atheist and she was super against the church, the first time we taught her she wouldn't let us pray but after everytime she has progressed further and further, we have her now reading the Book of Mormon and she's planning on coming to church! Miles is still pretty crazy haha, his parents are progressing well though they want to meet with us but they're sick right now so we have to play it safe there. Joshua has also been pretty sick but we should meet with him soon, maybe today! We got into ward council and we now have all the members working on mission work which is going to be huge! The work keeps going on and we are seeing miracles everyday, thanks for all of the love and support! Love you all! Choose the right!  1.Elder Nelson and I twinning 2.

This has been another GREAT week, the work keeps on going! We have been so blessed to continually see so much success and to help others continue to progress! Miles is on DATE!!! He still needs to quit smoking but he has been going off of it pretty slowly and has made ton of progress he went to church yesterday and we continue to teach him! He's been making a lot of progress and then we asked him to invite his whole family and girlfriend! The family wasn't able to go but his girlfriend was and let me just tell you she is a stud! We didn't have a book of mormon because we didn't think Miles was going to lose the 2 copies we gave him :)  but no worries we ran home and grabbed one and when we came back she was waiting by the door the whole time! She's super awesome and I think we will be able to help her and Miles a lot! Were also teaching Joshua and he hasn't ever had a big enough desire to want to quit smoking to get baptized but Thursday out of the blue I ask hi...

This has been a super good/successful week! Were teaching this kid Miles who is absolutely crazy (because of drugs) first he thought he was Jesus then we got him off the main drugs he was taking and then he thought he was a prophet in the Book of Mormon. We told him there was no way haha but he then proceeded to tell us he was reincarnated but we reassured him that he wasn't haha! But when we went to his house his step dad was there and we gave him and his step dad a church invite they couldn't reject and he ended up inviting his mother, girlfriend and other friend! His mom and step dad along with miles all came to church and seemed to like it later that day when we went to their house and taught them about the BOM and hopefully we can help them all quit smoking so they can join the church!  Joshua also came to church and we have taught him all the lessons and can get baptized as soon as he can stop smoking but his anxiety is really bad! Were working with him though and when he...

Super fun week with some funny stuff. (I think its funny at least) 1. We started teaching this family in the ward about the spirit and all the kids understood what the spirit was except for this 3 year old little girl haha and we saw her shirt and it was a frozen shirt so if any of you have seen the new one Elsa starts hearing voices telling her to go and leading her through the unknown. So that's how we explained it and by the end I think she understood better than anyone else in the family haha!  2. We were building a fence and there's a lot of mosquitoes out there so the girl brought out some doterra torches that makes smoke to get rid of them. Elder Nelson and I stayed in the smoke the entire time and we were getting eaten alive and the Elders not in the smoke had none, so all the faith I had in doterra is gone! Not sure I'll ever be using those FAKE oils again. 3. Wednesday we had set a goal to find 2 new people and it was 8:30 and we still hadn't found anyone. I w...
