It's Easter in the Bronx

Hello! Well, another week has flown by before I could even blink my eyes!

The church came out with the new video for Easter this Sunday, it's
called Hallelujah and I am SO excited about it!:) It works MIRACLES! I
have loved sharing it with people so far, and I love how this time of
year brings people so much closer to our Savior:)

Miracles of the Week!

We are still getting a lot of bible requests, it's wonderful seeing so
many people around us wanting to come closer to God like that! And we
were going to visit a few of them one night and we had 2 amazing
experiences! One of them was a woman with the 2 kids who had just
recently moved here- and she was so excited to see us when we showed
up. She invited us in and we were able to share the Hallelujah video
with her and testify of our Savior! And she said she wants to come to
church this Sunday, and we set up another time to meet with her this
week!

The other one was a woman who had ordered a Book of Mormon! I love it
when people order Book of Mormons from us:) So we stopped by and she
was shocked to see that we actually come by in person, you could tell
that it just made her day! She loved talking to us about all of the
ways that she comes closer to Christ and she was so excited to be able
to read the Book of Mormon and have us come teach her about it! I have
a strong testimony of the work that is going on in the Bronx, so many
people here need hope and I'm grateful to be part of giving that to
them!

And the next day we were going to contact another referral who had
ordered a Book of Mormon (yay:)) just out of curiosity. But as we
showed her the Hallelujah video she softened up more and she said that
she would like to meet with us to learn more!

On Sunday we had an investigator come to church! The same one from
last week:) Her and her family are progressing so much in this Gospel,
I love helping them learn more. I love it when they learn something
they didn't know before and it just makes sense to them. This Gospel
DOES make sense!:) I have a testimony of that, and my testimony is
just growing seeing other people learning that their Heavenly Father
loves them!

Another miracle that I am SUPER EXCITED ABOUT! On Monday I woke up to
like 5 emails with the best news ever! KEAUNA BAIN, from my amazing
home Ward, is joining our little family out here in New York:) I
jumped for joy when I found out! The Lord sure knows what He is doing!
New York is waiting for you Sister Bain:)

I LOVE you all! I hope you will watch the new Easter video! And then
watch it again... And again... Because that's what I do:) I am so
grateful to my Savior for the sacrifice He made for me and for all of
us! I'm so grateful we can be with our families forever, and I'm so
grateful for the hope His life brings! Have a good week:)

Love, Sister JonesšŸ¤“



Hanna didn't mention in this email, but she was got to go to the temple again on this p-day!  She sent a couple of pictures & notes later on in the day.   This is what she sent:


"Is there such thing as cute graffiti? Because I found it;) "


"Look who we ran into at the temple!:) Sister Vassau! " 
(This was her MTC companion & childhood friend!)


"There is a waffle truck across the street from the temple!:) "
 (This is her & Sister Spendlove)
