General Conference Was Thrilling!

 I loved General Conference so much! I really loved President Nelson's counsel, as well as Sister Yee's talk. I encourage you all to go back and watch the talks that you loved or missed, because I know I will. I also loved the sneak peek for the new Book of Mormon videos!!

 

 

This week was alright! A lot of things were hard, but at least we had General Conference and a new on date!! Our friend Aurora has been interested in the church for a bit now, and she accepted our baptismal invitation yesterday! We're so thrilled for her. She is set for November 12th!

 

 

I had another exchange this week, and I learned a lot! It was with my zone leader Elder Char, and I was able to talk with many people. One of the doors we knocked on had a Spanish speaking man at the door. Since my zone leader is English speaking, I had the spotlight! I spoke Spanish to this man, asked about his beliefs, and invited him to General Conference! He understood me, and said thank you! I don't think he watched conference, but at least he's a possibility for my companion and I to visit again. I also got to talk to Elder Char about how things are going with my companion, and he gave me some great counsel. Good stuff.

 

 

Yet again, probably my favorite part about being a Spanish Elder is our English classes. We had 8 people again! Two were new, so that was a plus! We taught how to give personal info like addresses, phone numbers, and birthdays.

 

 

Great week overall! 

Thank you for being a great support to me, all of you!!

Bothell Stake Conference

Image
My highlight of the week was our Bothell Stake Conference! We had an amazing speaker named Elder Schmitt. I loved it! For our Sunday session, my companion and I translated into Spanish. It was hard but fun! This week was hard. We are doing a lot of finding, and we are hoping to find those who are ready to receive Jesus Christ and commit to Him. Please pray for Eli, Josue, Jorge, Maria, Fabiola, and Yormi. They have potential for coming to church and being open to baptism. That's about it for now. Adiós! Elder Jones

Enumclaw Is Way Too Cool!

Image
Not sure how many of you know how thrilled I am to be serving in this area called Enumclaw, but now you do! It's a small town, and I am soaking up each day. Old trucks and a nice view of Mount Rainier are so amazing to me. I got to explore more this week when I went on "exchanges" (24 hours with another missionary). I went to Buckley on Wednesday, and then Orting on Friday. I loved these areas too! Our branch is so close-knit! It makes a difference for us as missionaries. I'm glad we've gotten to know leaders in our branch so that they know we care. We had an activity in our church parking lot involving food and water activities, including stuff with water balloons. It was a great opportunity to see members and nonmembers. We are finally getting to teach some people, which is exciting. These people are named Alex and Miriam. The trickiest part is always working around busy work schedules. We are praying that these people will make time for God by ultimately meetin...

We Work Hard Here In Bothell

Image
Wow. I feel a lot of gratitude. This week has also been spectacular! For each new area that I enter, I don't think I can love it as much as the previous one I served in. I am really enjoying Bothell! Auburn still has a special place in my heart--don't get me wrong. It isn't the place that makes me happy, however. It's the people I'm with and the work I put forth that magnify my testimony and appreciation of God. These marvelous experiences just happen to be in Bothell right now. The title is pretty self-explanatory. Elder Thompson and I work super hard each day, and it brings us happiness and unity. We love our friends and are doing everything we can to guide them to the Savior. I hope you all feel the magnitude of the incredible experiences I'm having as you read them below. Eli is so fun! He is eight years old. His parents are members, but he isn't yet. This family is so kind! When they asked what our favorite snacks were, Griselda, the mother, bought a bo...
