Taking over the Bronx!

I have a new companion! Her name is Sister Spendlove and she is so
sweet! Sister Quackenbush and I got the call Saturday night and we
were so shocked! It's been awhile since I have been shocked by a
transfer call haha!:) But Sister Quackenbush went down to Manhattan to
be with Sister Spendlove's last companion, so we just switched haha:)

It was an awesome last week with Sister Quackenbush! But the thing
that made it the best was I was finally able to go do an endowment
session at the Manhattan Temple! I didn't know how spiritually hungry
I was for the temple until it started getting closer and I felt like I
would do anything to get there:) It was the most amazing experience
going to the temple after so long! And I learned how important it is
not to spiritually starve myself by not going to the temple!

We also got to have amazing lessons with a couple of my favorite
investigators!:) We met with a mother and son Thursday night and it
had been awhile since we had seen them last so we thought they might
not be progressing as much:( But we got there and one of the first
things the mom said to us was, "when is the next baptismal service" so
we told her and she said, "I think we should do it." And my jaw hit
the ground! We didn't even need to invite them, the Spirit was just
telling her that they needed to be baptized that day, and she
listened!:)

We also met with a mother and daughter on Sister Quackenbush's last
night and we were about to leave their lesson when they said they
needed to say bye in a better way, so we said we were just on our way
to grab a little bit of dinner before we headed home and they said
they wanted to go:) And we had such a fun time! I just love little
experiences like that that let you know that not only do we care about
the people we are teaching, but that they care about us as well:)

And then, Sister Quackenbush left:) I had fun yesterday trying to
navigate the Bronx without her, I think I did pretty ok;) All I know
is that this is Heavenly Father's work, so if He needs me to be able
to navigate, I'll be able to!:) I love my mission guys, like really
it's awesome haha:) I love being able to see the Atonement work in
people, especially me!

Have a good week:)

Love, Sister Jones
