Summer Here We Come

Bueno, ¡feliz lunes! Es duro creer que casi hemos terminado el primer semestre del año. ¡Guau!



Anyways, hello everyone! What a week. 



We got in contact with some young couples that are super awesome. We look forward to meeting with them. Their names are Steven, Jeimely, Ronald, and Daniela.



As for Raydel, we haven't had anything with him for 2 months, so we unfortunately will have to stop teaching him if we don't have a lesson with him tomorrow. It's hard to move on, but we need our friends to value this gospel like nothing else. 



Imeldo is still flaky on when we meet with him, so we're going to see if he commits to baptism in the next two visits or not.



We had a talent show with our branch and an English ward--combined. Super fun! Three or four investigators came, which was great. One of them--Steven--did a talent!!! His was a fun little dance, which I got a video of. It's in the weekly photos. He is so funny.



These last few days have been sporty. We had soccer Saturday of course, but only 3 friends came. That's okay though. It will continue to grow. Today, numerous other missionaries from other areas (Sammamish Valley, Bothell, and Renton) came together for frisbee and spikeball. The Bellevue missionaries won frisbee!! That includes me!! We played hard and got an amazing victory. As for spikeball, I made it to the 3rd round with my companion before getting out. Still so fun!



We are looking to be creative with finding new people to teach, so we're going to be doing more service hopefully. That's one of the methods we have. I am hopeful about our area.



"God is good, and that's enough." This is a line from a Christian song that I love. It's true! Give God the credit, and you'll notice how extraordinary He is. 



Love you all!

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...
