Hiiiiiii mom!!! I love you! I got a new companion and I'm going to train him. He is brand new and his name is Elder Gomez. We have a lot in common with rubiks cubes, basketball, and music. Im excited to work with him because his testimony is strong!! This week twas great, Elder Gomez is doing great and is always happy and amazing, great worker. He is getting used to things which is good. We had splits with the APs and I learned some new techniques with them which was good.
We got a baptism set up this Sunday with a wonderful lady named Rosa. She lives alone and has four older children. She has had a lot of hard life struggles and I hope we are bringing here some comfort and peace with the plan of salvation. She has even had thoughts about ending her life, due to her sad situation. We gave her a blessing and have been able to visit her often. She has no problem with the word of wisdom. We invited her to a relief society activity where they made jabon (soap). She really enjoyed it and the sisters were super welcoming. She came to church this past Sunday and again everyone was very nice to her. My companion sat with Rosa because I sat with the other family.
We had a small family come to church.this Sunday. The family is a dad, mom who are married, and three year old boy. The boy is very active and the parents feel a bit frustrated. When we went to their house on Sunday to walk to church with them, the dad didn't have any church shoes. I noticed we wore the same size, so I ran back home to my apartment and got an extra pair of shoes so he could borrow them. I sat with them on Sunday and tried to keep him pre-occupied with a little groot key chain on my backpack. He liked that. The family stayed and really enjoyed church. The mom is Lutheran and believes that Saturday is the Sabbath.
Earlier this month, we were told that we had to find a new apartment to live. Our current house is going to do some fix ups so we have to move out. That has put a lot of stress on me. But good news, we get to stay in our apartment until April 1st which is a huge relief. We've been asked to find a new apartment and have asked the ward members to help us find a place.
Today we went to an all you can eat wing place. The wings here aren't as good as back home, but still good. We also played some Basketball and Piano with the zone today. But I bet the wings you make are better. I love you mom and the great support you give me!! I will talk to you soon Bye!!
Love, Elder Jones
