Hey y'all!

So the assistants forgot to call us and tell us that Sister Terry was actually getting transferred and I am back-up training again! We had to pack super fast on Tuesday! Sister Vail is my new companion. She is from California and she is super sweet! unfortunately she has been sick the whole time we have been together so I have been doing a lot of member exchanges to go out and teach and doing lessons over the phone. We have been to the doctors and she is slowly recovering.  

Sister Rebecca Jones baptism went really well! The spirit was so strong! It was such a miracle and a blessing to be a part of because Brother Jones was less active for years and he and his wife took this journey together and he was able to baptize her! It was so special to be able to see their love for each other and how much the gospel has strengthened their family! Sister Terry was able to come back into town for the baptism and we got to sing together. 

Josh is doing really well! He is progressing so fast, he has this deep understanding of the principles. He is paying tithing and donating to the missionary fund! It really is a sacrifice for him to do that since he is not a member yet, and he is not super well-off.

Jason is also still doing great! He is super excited to come to church every week and continue to learn about the gospel.

On Saturday we called down the potentials list inviting all of them to church. One guy that answered, Fernie, sounded really surprised that we could hear him. Apparently his phone had been broken for two weeks, but it worked for our phone call to invite him to church! So he came! He told us that it felt very "homey" there and he had lots of questions. It was one of the miracles that we saw that came out of sickness because if we had not bee confined to our room we would not have taken so much time to call so many potentials. (potentials are people we have previously met on the street or at doors who said they might be interested in the future). 

I am so grateful to continue the work in The Colony! It really is a blessed town. The spirit of missionary work is on fire in all of the members and the spirit rests upon all the people. I am also so blessed to have all of y'alls support!

Love,

Sister Jones
