Breakthrough January 2014

hola ya'll

I am about to have an Hermana Jones breakthrough moment here on my mission. You'll have to stay tuned to hear more about it!!!!

So I am coming up on 5 months here pretty fast..........craziness. I still feel like that little baby missionary sometimes. But on the bright side......I think I am fluent in Spanish.....so that's been good! Gift of tongues is real woot woot

So there are some people progressing in little Guatemala. What up?! We ordered some libros de Mormon in quiche (their native dialect) to make them more comfortable. there are also some people that don't even speak Spanish, and so we are going to give them one to read. It is going to be so awesome! I am also going to order one to try and learn a little bit.

So our week was CRAZY awesome. So Sunday church was cancelled, so we went to Hno R's to take the sacrament and stayed there for like 3 hours. Then we went home and had a mission conference call, and pres told us what we needed to do to use time wisely. So we planned, and planned, and planned some more. Then Monday we did the same. It was SO nice to get out on Tuesday.Then we had zone conference in Lakeville which took a whole day. It was great.  Then we had We ended up teaching 11 restoration lessons throughout the week (normally we have 5) and in total, 26 lessons. For only 5 days of work!!!!!!!!! It was craziness!!!!!!!!!!!!

I went on exchanges with the one and only Hermana W. It was the funnest ever. She has a sense of humor like mine and we just understand each other. I wish we could be companions at some point, but she goes home next transfer :( oh well, we have one more exchange together and we are going to live it up in Lakeville!

Missionary work is the best!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm super glad I am here on a mission because it is helping me change A LOT of things about myself to be better.

So B (recent convert) bore his testimony in church yesterday. It was basically 25 minutes long with EVERY SINGLE story he has (all of his crazy dreams, when he got electrocuted, when he crashed on his motorcycle, how he was an alcoholic, etc.) and I just thought "well, next time we teach him it will be about what a testimony is" oh and he also swore once. odele........he's a funny one.

I am starting to get depressed because pomegranates are out of season. I average about 5 pomegranates a week and I don't know what I am going to eat with out them. I guess I will have to have a pomegranate farm in southern Utah someday. The members feed us well though, they are so great.

All I can think about is food because my stomach won't stop growling right now. We are going over the Hno. C's today to learn how to make homemade taquitos mexicanos........mmmmmmmm! And yesterday we ate this yummy loaded baked potato casserole which was really good also. mmm

pues, es todo. tengo hambre y vamos a hacer compras. me llamo Hermana jones, y soy misionera. over and out
