Hey everyone!
I
hope you all are doing great! My week's been pretty fun; we've pretty
much had activity after activity. It all kind of culminated with our
ward trunk-or-treat on Wednesday. My Ward Mission Leader is insane, but
awesome. He literally put the activity together himself (with us
missionaries doing the heavy lifting of course). He ordered bounce
houses, brought a cooking trailer and cooking semi-truck, brought
20+tables, rented stadium lights, and even built a sand volleyball court
behind our church building. It was a tri-ward event and was
super-successful; we were able to get some less-actives, investigators,
and potential investigators to come. It was amazing!
I
also had the chance to go on exchanges with a couple of missionaries in
my district. On Thursday I went with Elder Palmer, who is from the
Calgary-Alberta part of Canada! He has become a good friend of mine, and
even gave some good advice about missionary work. Most of the advice
involved me being confident in myself and opening my mouth when I see
people on the street. He told me that it was his desire to actually not
want to leave Vegas by the time his mission was over. That night, we
taught a pretty cool lesson. We taught a couple about the Plan of
Salvation. The woman's daughter is a member, and she said that she
didn't believe we were a cult anymore, and that it made her happy to
know that that's what her daughter believed. She even said we could come
back! Not sure about the chances of her getting baptized, but it feels
awesome to share the Gospel.
Halloween
was on Friday, so we had to stop proselyting by 6pm. After 6, we had
approval from our mission president to watch some non-church movies. My
roommates and I watched all three Toy Story movies! That was pretty
nostalgic. Our mission president is awesome!
I
also finished the Book of Mormon for the first time on my mission. That
book really is amazing and I would encourage all of you to read it if
you haven't, and then to share it. That book changes minds, it changes
hearts, and it changes people. If you don't have a testimony of it, then
get one! I promise that you will know it's true if you just read it!
I love all of you! Take care, be safe, and keep in touch!
Love,
Elder Jones
