Elder ZJones: Grateful



Hey everyone!!! What a week it has been already!!

So there are 8 in our district.
Elder Holmes from New Mexico
Elder Blackburn and Elder Hollinger from Oregon
Elder Bodily and Elder Dixon from Utah
Hermana Hosman from Arizona
Hermana Gibson from Wyoming.


The food here is really good. A lot of what they serve is meat!

The temple was such an amazing experience. Doing endowments in Spanish was one of the best things. Though I didn't understand most of it, it was a blessing to have so many temples near me at home.

This week I was able to go and do endowments in the Buenos Aires Temple. It was such a blessing to be able to do that. Though it was all in Spanish I still felt the spirit. I am grateful that I had some many close temples in Utah.


The MTC is great. The day to day things are mostly the same!! Everything is centered around teaching. We teach them the lessons like they are our investigators. It has helped a lot with Spanish, but it is also very hard. Yesterday, me and my companion bombed it and it went so bad!! Through that, we have been able to evaluate the things that we can do better for our next lesson.

In this MTC, we watch devotionals instead of having general authorities come down to speak. Yesterday, we watched one given by Elder Neil L. Anderson. He explained that we need to push ourselves further, forget ourselves, and seek the Lord for help. I am going to use these three things as I try to keep learning the language and the gospel.

We were able to go to the city to get are visas and boy IS IT A BIG CITY!!!

On Saturday we get to go proselyting in Buenos Aires!! They will drop us off and give us couple hours to teach . . .And I still don't know the language. It will be an awesome experience to interact with them and hopefully help me with my Spanish. Pray that I will feel of the Spirit when we proselyte.

So far this experience has been great. I am grateful for Jesus Christ and For our loving Heavenly Father. I love this gospel!!

Elder Jones
