Small Girl In A Big City: SPRING IS HERE!!!

Hello family:) This week has been fantastic! My first week taking over
the Bronx, it has been crazy! I am proud to say that I haven't gotten
us lost yet though! I know Heavenly Father is helping me learn this
area so I can help His children here! Also, we got to go outside
without tights on for the first time in months!:) I'm excited for
Spring in the Bronx!

Miracle of the week:

We had an investigator come to church! Sometimes it's hard for people
to find a way to church Sunday, so we don't have many people come:(
But Sunday we got a text from one of our investigators that is
working towards baptism and she said she was super excited to see us
at church! So we were pumped, we got to the chapel and texted her that
we were saving her a spot, and then we waited... And then Sacrament
Meeting was over so we went to Gospel Principles, and waited... And
she didn't show up for that either. And then we are sitting in a
Relief Society when we get a text from her that said she was waiting
outside for us! So we go and meet her and bring her into class and it
turned out awesome! Sure, she only came for the last half an hour of
church, but it was such a big step for her! Heavenly Father doesn't
ask a lot of us, all He asks is for us to do a little bit better
everyday. And I felt His love for her as I was sitting next to her in
Relief Society, I knew Heavenly Father accepted her efforts to go to
church and that He was proud of her!:) Such an amazing experience!

Funny of the week:

This is kind of funny, but it was also really amazing! We were
checking out at a store today when a woman stops us and asks us to
pray for her because she wasn't feeling very well. We get that from
people a lot and I feel so lucky to be recognized as a representative
of Jesus Christ like that! And usually people just ask us and we pray
for them in our next prayer, so that is what I was expecting when we
said yes to this woman. But the next thing I know she is bowing her
head, so Sister Spendlove and I look at each other kind of shocked,
and then we say a prayer for this woman, right here in the middle of
Burlington:) It was so unexpected haha! But I loved that, we are
always trying to be in the world but not of it, and that felt very
real with this experience!:)

I love being a missionary in the Bronx! I love being a missionary in
New York! And I just love being a missionary!:)

Love you all, have a good week:)

Love, Sister Jones
