I Love The Colony!


Hey y'all!
We have a miracle baptism coming up this Saturday! Alexis is getting
baptized on Saturday at 1 PM. We are so excited for her! she is the
most prepared person I may have ever taught. She started off our
lessons by asking us about how she can be baptized. And what she needs
to do. She came to church for two weeks in a row and we got permission
from the mission present to baptize her before her third time at
church because she wants to be baptized as soon as possible. She is so
excited to learn more about the gospel and she really understands it.
She is 19 years old and is such a sweetheart. She has a really good
values and she is so happy that now she has a foundation and a family
that uphold her values with her. She passed her baptismal interview
after having only had one lesson! We are teaching her every day so
that she can learn everything before Saturday. I am so blessed to be a
missionary in the colony and to be able to experience the joy of
finding the gospel and becoming converted with Alexis. She reminds me
of the great joy that the gospel brings. 😄
We also got to go to the temple with Debbie and Ben to do proxy
baptisms for their family names! It was such a sacred and spiritual
experience. Debbie and Ben described the feeling as an overwhelming
joy and peace. We are so proud of them! Debbie wanted me to do the
confirmations for the baptisms she did, I feel so blessed to have had
the opportunity to aid in the work of salvation not only for her but
for her ancestors! 😊
Sister Iona and I were able to sing in Sacrament meeting yesterday. We
sing Love at Home, it was so pretty! We took turns singing verses,
sister Iona sang in Samoan!
Love,
Sister Jones
