Hello Family and Friends,
Exciting news, but I'll get to that a little later on...
Tuesday I went on a split with Elder Chou and we had 5 appts scheduled! We left the house at 12:00 and by 12:22 every one of the 5 appts had called or already texted me telling me that they had to cancel so that was a bummer. It was a hard day of proselyting. Later that night we taught English class.

Wednesday
PLD (Zone Conference) so I had my interview with the Mission President, and
the news is I’m moving to North Jakarta and I’m opening a new area next to
the ocean! I get to open and start it, which means it's an area that hasn't had missionaries before. I'll be with my new comp
who I’m training! They don’t have a house for us yet so we will live at the
mission home for 2 weeks and once they get a house my comp and I will move out there.
It’s the area that floods the most in that part of the island! It rains so much that
they use boats! I’m sure you’ll get some good pics once rainy season starts!
How cool huh?
Thursday
Today I was offered a man’s
daughter (to marry) in one of the villages he just kept trying to get me to take
her ... ha-ha (this happens often with the white elders) ahh this mission
always has funny stuff!!
Thanks for all the emails this week. I appreciate all of them! Everyone be safe and I'll talk to you next week.
Love, Elder Jones

Thursday
We had the zone meeting all day today. Elder Chou asked me what the chances of him having to speak were. I said, "
well the chance of you speaking, being so new, is probably about the same chance as it raining today. " (it hasn’t rained since I’ve gotten here) An hour later it started raining and then President Picked Chou to give a
talk! That was so funny!
I got all
my trainer stuff from the mission president and then when we were taking a break, I walked
down stairs at the church in Solo and there was a young guy waiting outside the
Bishops' door and I started talking to him ... turns out HE IS GOING TO BE MY NEW COMP! He’s from Solo and he was at the church then for an interview. He goes to the MTC (in the Philippines) in a
week. He'll be there 2 weeks and then comes back to Indonesia! Such a crazy coincidence!
