Stake Conference

 どうもジョーンズ長老です！

This was a super good week!

We saw tons of miracles, and met some really sweet people. Stake conference was this week too, so that was pretty fun.

We popped off on Facebook this week, and even started teaching some people. One of them is a super well-prepared guy, he is so appreciative of what we do. People like that really are the best. We also met this guy at the food bank we do service at, and he is killer! He is a truth seeker for sure. He came to stake conference and we taught him at the temple with some sisters in our district.

I had a pretty sweet experience on a mini exchange with an elder in the district. We were helping these sisters with some service in an absolute pit of a house. It was abandoned and basically owned by 10 animals for 3 years. So we were helping this lady clean it out a bit, and this Elder just starts teaching her so smoothly. We talked for a bit then got back to work. Then she said "so what other interesting stuff do I not know about?" Which let us talk about the Book of Mormon. Even though the house was nasty, the spirit was so strong as we shared what we had with her. The experiences we have, are given to us so that we can bless others and help them through their own spiritual journey.

Well, this week was interesting. I don't have a whole lot of time to email, but we had zone conference which was super good.

For most of the week we were on a super exchange with the other Elders in our ward. All 6 of us in our apartment. It was way fun. One of them hurt his ankle playing basketball, so I had to take some time taking care of him and making sure he didn't work himself too hard. Then at our basketball night a guy the ZLs are teaching hurt his ankle and me and Elder Jex ended up being the ones helping him out with everything. It was good though.

It was a disappointing week, because a lot of people dropped us, but it's ok. Our success is measured by our commitment to help people, not the number of people we help. Anyway, lots of prayers were answered throughout the week, and the members have been a huge support to us. This ward has some of the best members I've ever met.

Sorry I don't have time to go into detail on everything. Love you guys.

Holy smokes this week was absolutely nuts. We got to be in a quad companionship for a couple days with Elder Ballif, before he took off. Honestly the quad is OP haha. We ended up finding 3 people with a bunch of potentials on our first day! 

Elder Park is a really interesting missionary, and not at all what I was expecting. He's super funny, and is super diligent. He sure loves the work. And because of that we started teaching 11 people!! So crazy.

Anyway, the rest of the week was pretty good, probably had the best district council of my mission so far, so that was sweet, but yeah, we got to see tons of miracles this week.

Hope you all enjoyed conference! It was pretty darn good.

I got to go on exchanges with my old trainer this week! It was nice to be back at it again. 

We got transfer news this week, and it looks like I'm staying here in Caprock, with Elder Jex again! We are training another new missionary. Elder Ballif is finally shipping off to Portugal this week, so that's exciting.

Nothing really new this week, but I hope you all had a good one!
