Well, I appoligize for having pretty lame emails the past couple of emails. Life has been so crazy!! I am officially in Montrose with SISTER BETTS!!!! Idk if you remember back from the good ol' MTC days, but sister betts and I started our missions together. (we were in the same district and the same dorm room) Now we are kicking it in the same bunk bed arrangement we had back in the day hahaha. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT HERE!! I know, i know....I was so bummed about leaving grand junction and EVERYONE told me i would love it here. They were all right. *sigh* i just didn't want to accept it....
So we are living in a nice member's home. Her name is sister Armstrong. She is single and has the cutest most hilarious dog on the planet. His name is Kruz. He blew out his knee this week chasing a ball too enthusiastically and he had to get surgery. Now the poor dog has to wear the cone of shame and has a shaved chicken leg now. Bless his little heart. He doesn't wine too much about it except when he has to wear the cone. hahaha I would too if I were him.
This week we have mostly been running around like crazy trying to teach and meet everyone in the area. So far I absolutely love everyone. We have a ton! of people to teach. They are all so awesome. We also have been trying to talk to every single person we see. We have had some hilarious experiences because of it.
My favorite was when we chased andrew down. hahaha he was walking down the street and we pulled over our car, rolled down the window and yelled, "HEY, can we give you our card?!" and he was like, "uhhh, i'm kinda in a hurry. I'm late." Sister Betts yells, "Is it ok if we set up a time to come visit you??" He says "Yeah, meet me at the library tomorrow at noon!" and we were like, "OK!!" then we parted ways. We drove off in one direction and he walked away in another. We opened our planners to write him in and we then realized that we had a zone meeting at that time.......Sister betts was freaking out cause we didn't get his number and he didn't get ours. She said, "WHAT DO WE DO SISTER JONES??!" And i was like lets turn around and go find him. hahaha so for the next 7 minutes we were driving all over trying to find our little friend. This is when sister betts said sadly, "Oh NO.... i think we lost a child of God." We were super sad, and didn't think we would be able to find him. Then out of sheer fate, we spotted him. I couldn't stop laughing when we pulled over the car and sister betts yelled out the window. "HEY, IS IT OK IF WE MEET YOU ON FRIDAY AT NOON?!" and he was like 'YEAH!" haha I think we seriously freaked him out cause he wasn't there friday at noon.....:( but we totally were there and if we see him again he won't get off so easy.
I am just doing so fantastic and I hope everyone else is too. Know that I love you all to pieces and have a HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!!!
Love sister Jones!!
