The Three Nephites

 こんにちは皆さん！

Wow our trio has been been unreal! The first person we taught together accepted a baptismal date. It's been so much fun!

I also got a date for when I leave to Japan, I leave on the 26th!

Other than that, nothing really happened this week haha. It really was one of the longest weeks in a super long time haha

じゃあまたね

April Showers babyyy

ヤッホ～

This week was so dang good! Roger decided that he was ready to be baptized this weekend, and he got in the font! He's such a good guy. I sure love that family

Elder Holgreen and I are staying here in Midland together, so that's exciting! We're also getting a new companion named Elder Nordquist. It's gonna be so fun! Also I'm probably gonna be leaving to Japan in a few weeks now. I should have a date by next week. Not really sure how I feel about it honestly... There are great people here and a lot of great opportunities coming up, but I'm so excited for Japan!

We also set up a fun study for the Zone, with this super smart scholar named Travis. He's so dang smart and has helped us all so much. It was the coolest little zoom call.

Anyway have a good week. Love yall

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!

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!

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

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

The best of weeks

 

Ava!

Jasper!

どうもジョーンズ長老です！

This was a crazy good week! We were super busy, but it was so worth all the hustle and bustle.

Transfers went great and I'm the luckiest duck to have Elder Holgreen. He's so hilarious hahaha. I don't think I've laughed this much ever

We had stuff to do all week, but it was all pretty normal missionary stuffs.

We had a meeting in Lubbock on Saturday and Elder Kyle S. McKay of the 70 was there. It was the coolest thing ever. That man is incredible. And he served in Kobe Japan! Anyway he shared some awesome stuff and we got to eat lunch with him. Right after the meeting we had Jasper and Ava's baptism. It was the coolest little ordinance.

Those two kids are the coolest ever, and their dad is on his way to baptism! If I could have a daughter like Ava I for sure would haha, she's hilarious.

One thing Elder McKay shared is that he asked President Nelson what he would write to all the saints of the world, and President Nelson responded with "I don't think I could do much better than D&C 45" so study that!

Anyway it was the best of weeks
