Elder Jones week 43


I got my birthday gift a couple days ago. Thank you so much for that. I'm glad you guys are still doing well. Sorry Mom's students are being so crazy. That's nice that the school year is almost over though. That's crazy that the school years about to be over. It feels like this years just flown by.

It's been another great week. I see now why Courtney and Hal always used the same adjective for their weeks. I'm not creative enough to think of another describe my week every time.

We've been working a lot with he elders quorum president to work on home teaching in the ward. There's not a lot of home teaching That gets done in the ward so we've been trying to help them work on that. It's pretty useful since we get to know more of the less actives in the ward and we can find more part member families. So that's been pretty awesome. The elders quorum president in our ward is pretty awesome. He does a lot for the ward and works a lot. He also lets a homeless man that got baptized recently live with him. 

We had a mini missionary come be with us this weekend. That was pretty great he was from San Francisco. He goes to a Tongan ward and speaks English and Tongan. He doesn't speak any Spanish so he was kind of confused. They aren't allowed to stay with us anymore so they stayed with a bunch of other missionaries in a member's house. He only got 2 hours of sleep since he was staying with a bunch of other young men so he was pretty tired all day. 

I got a bunch of talks by Neal a Maxwell and have been listening to them whenever we're in the car. That's been really nice. I've really liked listening to his talks. We have to be in the car more now in this area so having talks to listen to has made it more enjoyable.

We've also been helping a lady from Argentina move in. She's renting a room in a house and she's been having us help clean up. There are probably 8 or so other people hat live in he house. She didn't like the flowers so she told us to take them all out. We asked her if the other people would get mad that we're taking out all the flowers. She said no so we just did it anyway. We'll see what happens.

Anyway it's been a good week. I hope you have another great week!
