Elder Jones Week 17

I got the package you guys sent. Thanks for that!  That's exciting for Allison, wish her good luck for me. It's crazy that Courtney and Hal are getting married so soon.

It's been a great week. We got a referral this week for a man named Luis, we went to go see him and had a really good lesson. He seemed to be really positive and he even came to church yesterday with his girlfriend which was awesome. So that's exciting.

Still haven't gotten in contact with Nathan, he doesn't respond to any calls or messages and we don't know where he's living now. So we haven't made any progress there. However, Gwen got baptized this week. It was really awesome. She was a lady Elder Smith and I found and taught. We had ended up referring her to the English elders though. I'll send a picture of us at her baptism. 

We had our ward Halloween party on Saturday. It was combined with the English ward. None of our investigators came which was a bit disappointing. There's a family we're teaching that lives in a neighborhood where they can't go trick or treating. We thought for sure they would come. 

Other than that it's been a good week. I got to play the piano again in sacrament meeting. There was a meeting for all of the adults the 3rd hour of church so they had us just go take care of the primary. They just put on one of the Book of Mormon cartoon videos and they were completely fine. I still remember watching those videos as a kid.

Transfers are tomorrow. So I'm just now finishing my training. I'm getting transferred to Saratoga. I'm going to be a trainer and a district leader there. I think It's a smaller area so I think I'm going to get to ride bikes which I'm really excited for. It's a lot easier to do contacting while you're on bikes. Also, bikes are just fun.

We're not allowed to go out tonight after P-Day because of Halloween. so I don't know what we're going to do. Probably nothing. Just more study time I guess.

Anyway, I hope you have a great week.

Love,
Elder Jones
