Shooting pool with some Elders in our apartment complex

どうもジョーンズ長老です

Well I've gone 2 years since this all started and I finally caught it... just kidding, I just woke up with a sore throat haha. There is a good chance it is though

We had some of missionaries in the zone get sick, and we had to help them out with a bunch of stuff, plus a lot of members and people in our area got it... yeah it's been wild.

We had a good week though! We taught so much, it was great. This one guy is from Venezuela and he is so cool, man was prepared to pay us for a Book of Mormon haha. He wants us to meet his family too. (Also he used to pitch for the Pirates) pretty cool stuff. The story of how we found him is so sick. We were looking through our area book about 3 weeks ago at people who've been taught in the past. He was one from a looong time ago, so his record was about to expire. And I don't know why, but I screenshotted his information. We visited once and he wasn't home, but his wife said to come back in a few days. Well, before we went back, his record got deleted! So we forgot about it for a while. Until this week, when we realized that the record I screenshotted was in fact that guy we were supposed to go back to! Crazy

The elders who got sick had their car get towed so we had to go pick that up but uh... there were some complications haha. It all got figured out though.

Anyway, it was a really good week! Lots of great people we've met. My companion is quite the hard worker, it's awesome!

Heres a cool little excerpt from a missionary letter we've been studying. Do with it what you will ;)

“'Elder Humphrey, what is bold today, will not be bold tomorrow.' He meant that what was 

uncomfortable for me to declare today, over time will become second nature, and not be seen as 'rude,' but 

rather would be seen by others as 'conviction.' He further stated that The Lord tells us in Alma 38:12 to be bold,

but not overbearing. Ricciardi defined overbearance as 'boldness without love.' When people know and feel your 

love, you can never be too bold!”
