July 22nd post. Don't take my sunshine away.

Dearest everyone,

 

Life in the Craig/Baggs area couldn't get any better. Yesterday we went to a return missionaries' homecoming open house. We were invited by his mother and we thought we would tell him congrats, ask for some advice, and then head back to work. When we walked in every person we passed by said "Hey sisters!" We walked into the room where the return missionary was telling stories and talking to people. I glanced around and recongized basically everyone who was there. We shook the rm's hand, told him congrats, and he told us some advice. When he got talking to a lady that had just walked in we went and mixed and mingled with a few other people. On our way out we were stopped by 5 or 6 more people who told us some people we could go visit and asked us how the work was going. When I walked out of that open house it hit me...I feel like I am home. Every single person in that open house felt like family. I don't want to leave. I don't want to have a return missionary open house. I really feel like being a missionary is all I ever want to be. Right now I honestly can't imagine not being a missionary. It feels so great to feel this way. I'll be honest, the very begining of my mission it was hard to put the things of the past or what the future holds behind me and out of my thoughts. But yesterday I realized how much I don't think about those things anymore. All I think about, dream about, or talk about is missionary work. It's the best! It keeps me modivated, It keeps me on task and it helps me try to be the very best I can be. We are being so blessed right now. The investigators we are teaching are progressing so well, new people to teach are popping up all over the place, the members are more anxiously engaged in our work, and I am just so happy. This last week has been so wonderful and I can't wait to see how this coming week is going to be. I love you all. Sorry this email is short, but I've got to run. Keep being awesome! Love you

 

Love Sister Jones
