Elder HJones: Every Member a Missionary


So this week we had stake conference and it was really awesome. Our Presidente Ferriera came and was able to talk to everyone. One of the invitations that he had for us had to do with the story of Alma the Younger and his conversion. He compared Alma to a less active member or a non member of the church. And he compared the angel that appeared to him to the missionaries. The missionaries are the angels that come to help people change. Presidente invited everyone present to help the "angels" change the people. All of us know at least one person that is either less active or not a member of the church. And our prayers, fasts, and actions can help the angels appear to them and help them come unto Christ. 


And this past week we were able to baptize Carlos. It was a great experience.

This week we are working with a lady from Colombia named Vanessa. She is really humble and wants to follow the path that God has for her. Pray for her progress!

The beginning of this week started out kinda bad and it was my fault. :(  I'll tell you why. Last Monday we had a zone activity for preparation day. To make a long story short, I invited 2 of the 4 sisters to the activity because I thought, since all four of them live in the same pension, that they would communicate the invitation with the others. I was wrong! Boy, was I wrong!! So during the activity everyone was there, with exception of two sisters...and it was my fault. And I felt so bad.!! They were really mad. They got mad at me and the zone leaders and it wasn't that good. It wasn't good at all! For a couple days they weren't happy. The zone leaders and I did some things to apologize and now it is a lot better. So at the beginning of the week, I messed up bad. But now it better. Today we had a district activity and it was really good.

Con amor, Elder Jones
