He'll Do His Part

Hola holaa anotha fast week! Here's what's up

-our convert Benito said he's reaching the end of Alma and wants to finish the book as fast as he can so he can start over
-found 2 cockroaches and a lizard in the house...I'm the only one that deals with them bc my comp is so scared she literally stands a mile away and screams, so basically I've halfway overcome my fear of killing insects
-BESTIES WEDDING! One of the best and hardest days of my mission tbh, honestly just grateful that technology worked and that I was able to watch all the important events happen and feel a percentage of what it would have been like to be there in person. I'm so so so happy for her and my new BROTHER IN LAW WHATTT?!? Welcome to the fam Rob
-painted another house with the elders in our district
-one of our friends excuse for not coming to church yesterday was that her dog killed the neighbors chicken and they had to "figure things out", now she has to pay him back a chickenđź’€...only in Santo Domingo
-went to the Tsachilas again today!
-our friend Maria FINALLY came to church and I almost cried when I saw her!!! She's said in the lessons a couple times "if I go to church and I don't like it, I'll leave"...we asked her how it went the other day and she said she LOVED it WOOOOO big win for us since hardly any of our friends come to church in this area

SPIRITUAL:
I randomly read this scripture this week and Ive really start to understand it. It says, 

"But I, Nephi, have written what I have written, and I esteem it as of great worth, and especially unto my people. For I pray continually for them by day, and mine eyes water my pillow by night, because of them; and I cry unto my God in faith, and I know that he will hear my cry"

Recently I've started understanding this a lot more because when our friends don't progress or don't come to church, I honestly get so sad but I have to remember that God has a plan for each of them but maybe I just can't see it. I pray every. single. night for every single one of them by name and I know he'll hear my cry and do His part! 

Love you all so so much

Xoxo Hermana Jones

Happy Monday everyone! And happy p-day to all my missionary friends . Hope you are all doing well and staying safe! If I can be praying for anyone plz plz plz reach out, I would absolutely love to pray for people so send names por favor! ☆I HAD MY FIRST BAPTISM!!! Hector us the coolest guy out there let me tell ya, we sent him a text the morning of his baptism to ask him how he's feeling bc he was a bit nervous and he responded by saying "I'm good I'm just waiting until the hour comes, but I'm firm in my decision to be baptized" WOOHOO he's just the best. The baptism was so freaking good and I got to lead the music and felt like a pro thanks shoutout to the one and only Hermana Mendez! Hector shared his feelings after and told us a story of his conversion and how he was in a really dark place just 3 weeks ago when one of our other converts found him in the street. He said he's learned from jehovahs witnesses but was never baptized, attended another ch...

Holaaa mis queridos!! Hope you all had a wonderful Easter remembering our Savior! This weeks recap: -exchanges with the hermanas in la Concordia with hna Tischner (aka one of my new best friends) and let me just say, two white girls in the dangerous parts of my area...not a good idea -reached almost all of our goals this past week and found SO many escogidos and only 1 person came to church for Easter, definitely not the result i was hoping to have -when we went to la Concordia to start exchanges and finally got to ride my first mototaxi -got to do the Easter studies every day this week and wowww it made it so incredibly special! -as for the title of this email, we just went to the part lf our area called "Cristo Vive" or "Christ lives" on the day that he resurrected so i thought that was kinda cool!! SPIRITUAL: Ok this week i honestly just want to share my testimony! I'm so grateful for this Easter to have been able to serve this Lord with all my might and stre...

HELLOOO my wonderful friends and family! The life of Hermana Jones in Santo Domingo just got a whoooole lot more interesting so we're getting right to it! Today I'm gonna write this by day of what happened because just so many eventful things that went down Monday: traveled to Quito, went to an appointment with the mission presidents wife, then waited in the offices to receive transfers, opened transfers in front of President and me and hermana friend SCREAMED and literally jumped out of our seats when we saw we're training AGAIN!!! (We even have video proof) Tuesday: leadership council and helping the other hermanas get ready for transfers and traveling Wednesday: started off the day with a great start, we go to the terminal in Carcelen and get the other hermanas in the bus and while they're sitting in the bus waiting a guy comes in a robs them, her phone and her money and her card, and they hadn't even left to go to the concordia yet...sometimes i hate ecuador wit...
