Elder CJones: The Pressure of Work

Selfie

Not a lot happened this week. Here the work is really hard. Not a lot of people like to listen to us. Contrary to what people like to say about Mexico, it's really hard to find people who will listen and who are really ready to hear the Gospel. The people are really humble and really religious. So, they believe in their religion very strongly. Sometimes it gets hard, but I know that we are here to find the people that are ready to change their lives.

I have been out almost a quarter of my 2 years. 21% done. The mission goes by really, really fast and we have these two years to find people that are ready 100% to hear our message, change their lives, and be baptized. I really love this Gospel and really love the things that happen here.

We found a guy that is a member and just moved here. We started to talk to him and found out that he was born in Cuba. He moved to the U.S. and lived in Miami. One day, he was browsing the internet and saw a video about the church--a video about a pastor from another church just bashing our church. He then searched our church and wanted to be baptized because he felt that if someone was bashing a church that bad, there must be something good about it.

There are so many good things that we can do to share the Gospel with the people around us and it is so easy. I hope that all of you will try to share the Gospel with someone around you and find that joy that only comes to us when we have the Gospel.

 I'm sorry this week's letter is not too long. Other than the normal contacting and work, we are just getting the things done that we need to do. I love the work and wish that I could share with you the amazing things that happen when we turn our lives more to Christ and feel of the blessings that come when we do.
