Another Marvelous Week

We experienced changes in missionaries here in Bellevue! My trainer Elder Lancaster is in his last 6 weeks of his mission, and he came to Bellevue!! This is going to be fun for sure. I also have a new companion! His name is Elder Brown. He is pretty goofy and fun. Way different than Elder Snell. 



We did some service through JustServe! It was great. We organized donated items to be picked up by Goodwill. 



Our soccer night was fantastic once again! There was a slight decrease in attendance, but I'm happy with how it went. 13 people total. It was our first time playing on a field, and we all had a blast! Attendance is going to increase since this weather is divine.



Raydel update. Not sure if I already mentioned this in my previous email, but please pray for Raydel. He has covid; therefore, we now know why he hasn't been responding to our messages. He says he wants to meet with us when he feels better, but things are iffy right now.

As for Imeldo, he said we can meet with him in person this week! We want to see where he's at and bring up baptism; he's been taught the principles of this great gospel. 



We had a cool miracle! I put a video about this in the weekly photos, but we helped jump a guy's car! He was in distress, and I'm glad we stopped to help before leaving.



Today, we visited Snoqualmie Falls, which is a pretty cool waterfall. Beautiful.



That's about it for now. Love you all--truly!

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...
