Life in the Field: Six Month Mark

Dallin reporting to the MTC September 17, 2014.

Happy Six Month Mark to Elder Jones! He has enjoyed every second of his mission so far! We are thrilled that he is loving what he is doing and enjoying Mexico. Don't forget to write him via Dear Elder or E-mail (information located on the side bar!). He loves getting letters and updates from EVERYONE! Here is part of his letter this week:

Dallin 6 months into his mission in Guadalajara, Mexico! 

This week was good. We had a very interesting lesson. An investigator was very interested in the book of Revelations. He had some interesting ideas! At the end of the lesson, (which didn't go that well because he was little drunk), we asked him to say the prayer. His prayer was about 10-15 min long.... And he was yelling the prayer, and throwing his hands and walking around. He wants more lessons, but he is out of our area, so we have to send the other Elder’s to him.

we have a new investigator who is a Testigo de Jehova (Jehovah’s Witness) which is interesting. He isn't fully one because he is waiting his full year before he can be baptized, and he told us that if we can prove him wrong with the bible and teach with the bible, he will change his ways. Kind of interesting! He doesn't want to use the Book of Mormon, so we might only have him for a couple of lessons.

We had a Zone Conference with the mission president and the director of the Mexico MTC. It was really good! I learned a bunch of new things and how we can help our investigators! I’m excited to use it to help our investigators and members. After, the director of the MTC went with some missionaries to work in their areas! We almost got picked!

We went to the baptism this week. It was in the Sister’s area. I’ll be having a baptism on the 28th!!! I’m excited :) We are going to have a lesson in front of the temple on the 21st with Sergio and his family!!! :)

Sunday was good, and P-day was good. SOOOOO MUCH RAIN!!!!!!!!!

Pray for baptisms. Pray for Sergio. Pray for me and that I can stay healthy in this weather! I don’t want to roll an ankle, or catch a cold!!!!

Love you so much!!!!
