* Sister Barnes was confirmed this Sundayy! She bore such a beautiful
testimony that made me cry! I have loved being able to share the
gospel with her and to learn from her:) It was the best day!
* Sister Hess and I met an amazing man walking home the other day. His
name is Ray and he was a paramedic during 9/11. He was probably the
sweetest man I have met and he has cancer because of what he did on
9/11, but he says that he would do it all again if he had to. What a
wonderful human being he is!
* So the other day, Sister Hess and I were talking about hurricanes
and how it would be sad if that were to happen here, but that all of
the service opportunities would be amazing! And then... All of a
sudden, there were a couple raindrops that fell from the sky, which
then turned into a lot of rain drops, which then turned into literal
buckets of water falling on our head... It added new meaning to "ask
and you shall receive"! It was really fun though:)
* I said "ax" instead of "ask" in a lesson the other day, and I am
slowly perfecting my Jamaican accent. I am basically from the Bronx.
* We had an AMAZING lesson yesterday! It was with an investigator
named Sister Marshall. And last night Sister Hess invited her to be
baptized and she said yes! She is so sincere in her desire to be part
of this gospel, she says she will be baptized but she wants to learn
what she can and be prepared to do something so important:)
* Also, our investigator, Joy, is doing wonderful:) I have never met
someone so prepared to receive the gospel! I have such a strong
testimony that Heavenly Father is preparing the hearts of those around
us, never hesitate to open your mouth about the gospel. We don't know
what it could mean to them, we are the answers to prayers as we act in
faith to share the gospel!
We have been learning a lot this past week! I'm so grateful for my
companion:) We work hard and I know that as we do as the Lord asks we
are blessed for it. I have seen those blessings in this area! Hearts
are being prepared and people are listening:) I love the Bronx. I love
my mission. I love my Savior. And I love all of you!
Have a terrific week!
Love, Sister Jones
