Elder CJones: One Year!


"You are doing hard things" -Mom

This week I completed one year in the mission. It has gone so fast and it's crazy to think that I am here. I love this missionary work and sometimes I wish that it would move slower so that I could work more each day.

This week, Elder Martinez and I have been studying a lot together. I want to share one thing I learned this week.

My companion posed the question, "What is the difference between Wisdom and Knowledge?" Thinking deeper, we entered a conversation that made me think. Knowledge is just the information that you know to be true. Everybody has knowledge. Wisdom is the application of the knowledge that we have. Wisdom means that we show true faith.

James 1:5 says,"If any of you lack wisdom." This means that we need to have the intention to follow through on the knowledge that God will give us when we ask and that is when He will give the response.


We are teaching a lot of families and people. We are focused on five for right now. Yulieta and Mia are sisters and are really looking forward to a baptism on Saturday. We will be working with them this week for that.

Nataly, Daniel, and Angel are a family. Nataly is the mom and her two sons are Daniel and Angel. We will be working with them for baptism in November. Pray that they will be able to find the answers that they are looking for!

I know this church is true and I know and testify that God lives!!
