Hi Mom, Dad, family and everyone!
We had an awesome week. We’ve
been working our tails off and had tons of success. I got a new companion this week. Awesome guy.
Elder Troff.
Here are my notes from last week:
Monday – P Day
We went ice skating like normal. But it was really fun and
always will be :) I can do some cool tricks now. Elder Wood and I went to this
nice pizza place! It was awesome!
Tuesday- TRANSFERS
Today my new companion came to Jakarta. Elder Troff is from West Jordan, Utah. This week has been great! Elder Troff and I have made a pact to be
completely obedient and work till we want to drop! This week we lead the mission in stats and
got 22 lessons! UNBELIEVABLE! We have 3
baptismal dates! Is that crazy or
what? We’re really working on faith,
because without FAITH you can’t have a strong testimony and faith is actually
the anchor of our whole lives!
We went to the church
today and all 3 of our appts cancelled :( But I saw Elder McCleary! I missed
him he’s my pal. Ate chicken and rice for dinner.
Wednesday
Today we had a contest who could get the most contacts, and
I won with 5. The day was full of
miracles! Because of where all these
people were and timing. Taught Pak Herman a great lesson all in
English too! Then taught Henri and he wants to be baptized the 1st of
March.
For lunch Elder Troff and I had corn on the cob grilled on
our stove. 
Thursday
Today was good we woke up and posted posters at 9 am
all over town for English class! Then came back and got our haircuts :)
8am President invited us in to his house to watch a devotional for CES. That was a great talk to start the day. We got to eat breakfast at his house ! This is always good because Sister Donald is so awesome! President then came to one of our morning lessons and we had such a great time! :)
We had 3 of our investigators come to church and 3 of them were inactive! Our side of the room was full of people! Made me happy!
Love - Elder Jones

We met
a guy named Christian who is just awesome! He came to church and wants to be
baptized! We have taught him 3 lessons this week so far! So that was great! He
said he didn’t have any friends before us and has just been so sad in his life
... UNTIL we met him and the lessons we taught him gave him a new hope!
Friday
Had another lesson with Herman the lesson was great! Then
met with Christian again! We are just on a roll this week doing awesome! We really
can see the work of the Lord progressing! We are working our butts off!
Saturday 8am President invited us in to his house to watch a devotional for CES. That was a great talk to start the day. We got to eat breakfast at his house ! This is always good because Sister Donald is so awesome! President then came to one of our morning lessons and we had such a great time! :)
After that we went to proselyte. We went to the soccer stadium and I went and
talked to this group of army men ... and first I blew their minds with some of
my magic tricks and then with the gospel! It was so fun! Seriously like I
proselyte with card tricks and coin tricks now then apply it to the gospel and
everyone wants to learn!! Ha-ha I love it! President said we need to be more
creative! So I did it! He thinks it’s funny but he said don’t do the one where I pull
their card out of my book of Mormon.
Sunday We had 3 of our investigators come to church and 3 of them were inactive! Our side of the room was full of people! Made me happy!
I sent so many pictures this week :( but I'm having camera
problems. The humidity is just destroying it L My toe nails are not growing back. But I don’t really need
them. I don’t care after seeing some
feet here!
Later when I get off I’ll
try and send more pictures because we just got Wi-Fi here ... man it’s pouring so
hard this week. Broke another umbrella hah! I’m doing awesome this week but physically dying of tiredness
I love you guys and I have to go now ... good bye! :)
