Ghosti boi

 どうもジョーンズ長老です!


This week was so much fun! Holy smokes. We found this awesome family that had their faith totally shaken while we taught them the plan of salvation. It was the coolest experience.

Sidenote about this week, I just touched the rim of the basketball hoop today... no big deal haha

So there was this weird hallucination that my companion had one night, that was really creepy, and he used it to prank me the other night, to get me to think we had a demon in our apartment. It was pretty sketchy!

Anyway, I can't think of too much else that happened that was out of the ordinary. Our friend Roger might be getting baptized this week, so please pray that he will!

The work is going well, and we have some good things coming, but most importantly the Gospel is still true!

またね!

Easter time

 

Dalton's bautismo

ヤッホ~


Well happy Easter everyone! I hope it was a good one

We had a crazy week. Elder Holgreen and I are doing just fantastic! This has been the best transfer ever haha. We have a good ol' time together and have seen so much success.

Oh this week, I got to help set up an Easter egg hunt for another ward, and man it was fun. A bunch o' little kids were hounding hounding haha. It was the best of times

The highlight of this week was probably a lesson we had last night with a member and his nonmember wife. They're from Kenya! He knows Eliud Kipchoge (found out its pronounced Keep-chogay, sorry Elder T-Hud) anyway, we talked to him for a bit, then prayed with him and invited him to knock on his wife's bedroom door to see if she was ready for a message, and she came out!! We had the most spirit filled lesson and she was so grateful. The spirit is such a cool thing! 

Love yall!
またね!

Sicko mode all the time

 

Stir-fried ramen from Sapporo

どうもジョーンズ長老です!


Well I'm glad to inform you all that I've been sick all week still hahaha. I got strep throat now. So we're just rolling with the punches, and it didn't slow us down one bit. I'm getting the antibiotics for it today... hopefully!

We had tons of stuff going on this week. We had a basketball game between our Zone and the Odessa Zone, and we came out victorious!
We also had Zone conference, which went super well, there was some much needed instruction given. I'm excited for the rest of this transfer! 

After Zone conference I went on exchanges with another Elder that was originally assigned to Japan, but he's been permanently assigned here now :(
It was a good ol' time though! We went to a Ramen bar called "Sapporo", and it was hecka tasty

And to cap off this wild week, our friend Dalton got baptized!
He was probably the fastest progressing person I've ever met. He assumed he would learn about the church and quickly decide it was all garbage, but within a week of reading the Book of Mormon and learning from us, he decided it was all true! And then he overcame so much and got baptized 2 or 3 weeks later. He's gonna be a great member for sure! He's already planning how he's gonna teach his anti mom haha

Anyway, that was our week! Lots of craziness going on, but hopefully things will calm down here soon!

またね!

Genera Conference and food poisoning don't go together

 

Judyann was up in Midland for a day!

ヤッホ~


I hope all of you had just the best week ever! And I really hope you enjoyed general conference

We had a pretty good one down here for sure. Just lots of good stuff going on. We got back in contact with a couple we were teaching before and they gave us some sick chains necklaces haha

General conference was hecka good, but I had food poisoning for the first day, so I wasn't able to pay too much attention. I can't believe how much I've gotten sick here, golly! 

I can't really think of anything too too crazy that happened this week, but it was definitely a fun one!

またね!
Some cool stilts I got to try

Service with the chickens

The font wouldn't unplug, so I had to get back in...
