Busses on Strike in Villa Dolores - September 12, 2017




September 5, 2017
This week has been a really busy week and this next week is gonna be just as bad!! So on Monday, well every Monday, we go and we dig up trees and trenches in our president’s house!! The elders haven’t had the best relationship with him in the past but we have his 100% confidence right now so it’s good! Wednesday we had our district meeting here in Villa Dolores, which was good! We talked about member missionary work and how we can really use the members when we try! We used Alma and Amulek how the difference was really made when Amulek gave him lunch!! Our numbers of excellence in the mission went from 10 new investigators a week to 20.  So I hope that really helps everyone! Speaking of investigators we have an AWESOME investigator named Christian.  We had a fast with him this Sunday to get him a testimony about the Book of Mormon and Joseph Smith so it was freaking awesome!! He is preparing to be baptized on the 23rd of September were gonna set this area on FIREEE!!! We’re so pumped haha!
Well not much more to talk about this week. I’m gonna head out see you guys later!!

This week there isn’t a whole bunch to announce. We spent the whole week stuck away from our area because the busses went on strike so that stunk a lot! We were really worried about our investigator Christian, because we had recently done a fast with him to see if he should get baptized! So THE GREAT NEWS!! Christian had been investigating the church for 2 years and hope was almost lost with him! After the fast we show up to his house and our mission leader is there with him just hanging out with him, and we asked "what’s going on here"? Our leader said "hey we’re here celebrating Christian’s baptism." WHAT???? We were so confused like oh my gosh.  We talked to him about it and he wants to get baptized. He felt that it was right so he’s gonna have Elder Farrier baptize him and we’re so excited! So on the 23rd of this month on a Saturday we gonna be in whiteeeeee. Then THIS morning back in our area finally.  We went to talk to a lady named Soledad and she is a really nice lady! A very humble situation, she accepted to be baptized on the 23 so that was freaking exciting! The area is really getting going so yea!! Every week we started fasting one day and we have a lot of faith in it!  I’m sad because Elder Farrier is leaving in 2 weeks. I’m gonna MISS HIM SO MUCH! But ya anyways were gonna kill these last 2 weeks together so ahhhbooya!!!!! Anyway loving it here and I’ll be talking to you guys soon chauu
Elder Jones!!
