Mighty Mighty Joneses: Week 37 Sister Jones

So this week was super good. I feel so weird though because I am 20. You guys have a 20 year old daughter now! This week on my birthday we got to eat with the bishop at his pizaria. So pizza on my birthday! It was super good. Then one of the hermanas from the ward said she was going to have a noche de hogar ( family home evening) at her house. Two of our families investigating the church ( Yanze and her family and Rosie and her family) were going to her house for the FHE. It was funny though because when we got there it wasn’t a noche de hogar it was a birthday party for me and they had a cake, a piñata and everything. So it was super funny. Those three families are so fun. We had to leave and go to one of our other appointments. They said that they were going to continue the party. When they were super tired the next day at church and people asked why, they would say it was because they were celebrating with hermana Jones.....oh these hermanas really kill me :) Then we went to the house of hermana Vitalia because she said that she would come with us to a lesson of one of our investigators. There was another party! It was really funny because I learned the birthday song in Spanish and it isn’t the one that everyone sings in the US. Then in the night someone rang our doorbell which freaked me and my companion out because there have been some problems. When people open their doors and someone will punch them and then rob the house. So we were super scared but it turned out to be one of our investigators and they brought a present. So really it was a super good birthday. I still feel weird that I am 20 though. Also it was weird to pass my birthday in warmish weather because usually it is freakishly cold by the time it gets to my birthday.

On Wednesday we are having a Christmas activity with half the mission here in Toluca. I am super excited because I will get to see old companions and it is always fun when lots of missionaries get together. Anyway my new companion also went to BYU and lived in Heleman halls the same as me. She is a piano major so she is really good at the piano. It is crazy how small BYU makes the world. I was also thinking about how am I going to sign up for classes if I am here in the mission... oh well I am sure everything will work out. Anyway life is good, the mission is great, God is good. Share the gospel!

Love Hermana Jones

one of my converts seals chocolates and she offered to teach us how...hahah my first one turned out pretty terrible but she thought it was super funny that I made a Mexican Santa!
