Elder HJones: Mountains to Climb

It was a rough week. But that's good because without bad weeks I wouldn't know good weeks. The members here don't always find time to help us, so it is difficult to have lessons with members. So this next week Elder Lopez and I really want to help the members find joy in missionary work.

Today for P-Day we made milanesa! It was way good. And we finally got to do a service project. We painted a fence light green! The best part is that we did it in our white shirts!

We also had a miracle this past week. With an investigator named Lilian. I don't want to tell you the story until she gets baptized though. Ha ha. But pray for her. She really has a desire to find the true church. She is one of those investigators that I know God prepared beforehand for us to teach!

On Wednesday, I went on intercambios (24 hour companion switch) with one of the zone leaders, Elder Sheridan. My companion went somewhere else and I stayed in my area so I had the opportunity of leading our area for that day. At first I didn't want to, my Spanish isn't that good, and I don't know the area that well. But it turned out to be one of the best experiences on my mission so far. I learned so much about myself and I really felt the Saviors help.

We are constantly given "mountains to climb." We are given trials and difficulties, but its good for us. These difficulties strengthen us, and help us learn more about ourselves. I am grateful for trials!

 Love you all, Elder Jones
