Hey Guys,
This week was another normal week nothing too crazy. We had a
lot of lessons and we are still working with one of our good
investigators. That’s been going well, but he has a lot of things to work on
first, but that’s okay.
We have been teaching the majority of people from off the
bus and other public places where people talk to us first. So like every 10 people that talk to us maybe
2 of them actually learn a few times with us. We got a good member referral and
we went and taught them. It’s a less
active, part member family who has some good potential so we will see where
that will go!

So there really wasn't much to go over with you. This week it’s pretty hot here in Jakarta. Even
though it says it’s raining here on all your guys’ apps and stuff, it’s not. It hasn't rained in like 7 months! And its
hotttttttt ..
Oh so here’s a story I remember from this week. We met a guy and he said he had 29 people
from Papua that wanted to learn about our church and we were so happy and
pumped to teach them. So we got all
this material ready and we waited for them at the church. He called and said he
was late. No problem. So we wait another
hour for them all ... still nothing. He calls and said he was late in traffic...
but was coming. Okay so we decide to wait again and were waiting again and
call him after another hour and he said he’s close ... after that he never
answered his phone again. We wasted a
whole day waiting. Cause later that evening we had an appt at the church again.
And we couldn't be late and at that time in the day traffic is too bad to
go out ... man it was a bummer!

We got to bring an investigator to church though. He lives about an hour and a half away, so we
had to wake up extra early and go pick him up and then take him back but he
really loved church and I think he really has potential to be baptized. It’s awesome!
He lives out in the village and he is 15 . Never went to school and can
barely read just a really humble kid! He works at the street market every day
to help his family with money... he has a great story .
Hope you all are well.
The fires in Indonesia are bad right now. The missionaries in Medan have to wear masks
and stuff. We aren’t affected much, but you can see from the pictures above all the pollution.
Have a great week!
Love, Elder Jones
