Big things keep on rolling

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 him how he's doing and he sends me a message saying he's gonna quit smoking to get baptized! We have been super blessed! We are teaching a lot of people it's been tons of fun!  I made a were giving out free bibles post and someone messaged me for one on Tuesday so we dropped it off and invited them to our bible study and she didn't seem to interested but I texted her and she said sure why not! So we invited a member too and it went so good she started crying and basically just opened up why she wanted a bible in the first place it was so awesome! Hopefully we will be able to continue helping her. Work keeps rolling everyone keep us in your prayers we truly see so many miracles a day it's amazing! 

Love you all -Elder Jones

I don´t even know where to start haha. I got off the plane last tuesday with about 30 other missionaries, and half of them were going to my mission. We took a bus to the mtc and I got to know everyone going to my district and I liked most of them but there was one kid who I didn't want to have as a companion because we had nothing in common. I like to play sports he liked to read books, I like to be outside, he likes to read books haha. But of course we got assigned to be companions and I had kind of a bad attitude about it for my first 2 days and those were the longest two days ive ever had. I prayed that I could come to love my companion and that day we listened to a talk by elder gong and he was talking about the importance of having a good relationship with your companion. He said to stop focusing on the things you didn't like about your companion and to focus on the things your companion was good at and since then its been great. Ive come to love the things my companion is...
