Yeah this week has been a pretty crazy one.
So remember how last monday's email was about how crazy the day was...Well this whole week has been like that haha.
Monday night we drove to Eagle, Tuesday we drove the rest of the way to Frisco for our 5 hour Missionary leadership meeting. Wednesday we had zone conference which went from 8 to 4. Thursday and Friday sister betts died of sickness. Saturday and sunday was conference. LOVED IT! and today we went to grand junction and back for a doctors appointment. Madness and pure happiness all around. I honestly love the meetings we go to they are seriously the best. And even in the midst of all the craziness we saw plenty of miracles :)
One of which, comes in the form of Dale. Oh Dale. He is so wonderful. We found him by asking him if we could sing to him haha he loved it and he said he would love to be taught by us. The first day we taught him the restoration and he said he has been searching for clarity and it only makes sense that there would be prophets on the earth today. When we taught him the first vision, we asked him what he felt and he said,"Enlightened." When we asked him if he would be baptized he said,"Of coarse!" Oh my gosh he is seriously the most golden investigator I have ever taught. We were really worried we wouldn't be able to teach him when he moved in to a nursing home. (he is in his 40's, we aren't sure why he needs to live in a nursing home.) But we got permission from our zone leaders to teach him. We went to visit him this week to see if he was coming to confrence and we got to meet his lovely roommate Jim......Well lets just say that Jim is a tiny bit of a mr. grumpy pants. We walked in and he was like, "OH, I guess I should just get out of the way since I am such an annoyance." we assured him that he was fine where he was at and that we could leave to a different room to teach dale. He was like, "NO, I'M GETTING OUT OF HERE." so i moved out of the way so he could wheel himself out the door, but he looked at me and then started rolling towards me......I knew I was in trouble.....I asked him if I could sneek by him and he was like, "NO YOU ARE STAYING HERE." and I was like well I need to go with my friends to a different room and he yelled again."OH NO YOU ARE STAYING HERE." I tried to go behind him but he wheeled backwards and literally wouldn't let me pass through. I thought my companion was going to pee her pants. Oh gosh it was the most horrifically awkward experiance of my life!!! Luckily, I just jumped over his legs and ran out the door. Whew! We probably will just meet dale in the front room next time....
Next cool story of the week. As you know Sister betts was pretty sick this week. So I had the Mt. Sneffles (yeah i know it is a weird name) sister missionaries come out with me and one stay with sister betts. We didn't get to teach many people but we did find a new investigator so I felt pretty good about our day. But the lord decided to bless us even more with an unplanned person to teach hahah. The Kirby Vacuum man! He was doing a little door to door sales and we let him in. Little did he know that instead of us buying a Kirby he would be leaving with a book of mormon, a restoration pamplet and our card! It was so awesome!! We felt bad cause we kind of got him in trouble for being at our house too long, so we sent him off also with some banana bread that sister betts mom sent us haha. It was awesome!! When he gets baptized he will have the best conversion story EVER!!
OK one last funny story.....So we had a meeting in frisco. (which is 4 hours away from montrose) It was a leadership meeting. Well we drove up the night before to Eagle. Which is about 3 hours away and we stayed the night with some spanish sister missionaries. The lady they lived with was oh so kind to give us some granola bars for the rest of the drive to frisco in the morning. I ate 2....Later I was sitting in the meeting and my stomach started rumbling like never before. It was so loud that the missionaries all sitting at my table looked at me. I looked at my companion and asked if we could go to the bathroom. Yeah....I kinda blew up the bathroom.....every half an hour..... of our 5 hour meeting!!!!!!!!!THE GRANOLA BARS WERE DANG FIBER BARS!!!!!! It was so horrible. I have never had something so tramatic happen to my poor little belly in my entire life! The four hour drive back was just as terrible. Luckily, I only had to stop about every 2 hours and I slept most of the way. Ugh. that was awful!. I really have a testimony that fiber bars are of the devil.
WEll I love the gospel. I love my mission. and I love all of you! I hope you have fabulous week this week!!
Love sister jones
