Elder Jones week 44

 I'm glad you guys are doing well still. Sounds like Dan and Allie are having a good time with track and school. Sorry to hear Mom's babies are so crazy. That's fortunate that the school year is almost over though. Hopefully all goes well with the baby exams.

It's been another good week for us. The week started with us helping a lady move. She was moving stuff from 3 locations to a room she was renting. It took all day because not too many people showed up. So we were there from about 10:30 to about 7:00. She had a lot of stuff to move into her little room. When we were finished the room was full from floor to ceiling with stuff. There was hardly room to move around. But that's the way she wanted it and she wanted to have all the stuff in the room so she just had it like that now. So all swell with that now.

The weather was kind of weird this week. It started off really hot at the beginning the week, then it went to cold, or cold by California standards. That was a bit strange but the cooler weather has been nice.

We've still been working with the elders quorum president, he has some people he's directing us to that he wants us to work with. We've also been working on the ward list to figure out who's still living in the area so that he can assign home teachers to those that still live here. That's been going well for us. We end up knocking on a lot of doors and no one being home and a lot of people that do open the door are afraid of us so they'll tell us someone doesn't live there and then after we explain that we're missionaries from the church, they then tell us that they do. So it's been fun working on that.

Through that we found a less active and got him to come back to church this week which was awesome. He ended up talking to all the people there and making some friends again. He hadn't been in such a long time that he didn't know hardly anyone there but it seemed like he had a good experience.

We invited one of our investigators to be baptized. He's quit drinking and he regularly comes to church with his wife, who is a member, all of his children are active members that have been sealed but he declined to be baptized again. So we're still working with them. He's really nice to us and always likes to have us over for dinner. He's just a little stubborn. But we're still working with him. I know it would mean the world to his wife if he would get baptized so they can be sealed in the temple. So we're fasting and praying for them. 

Anyway all is going well with us here. I Hope you all have another great week!
