Time is flying so fast! can you believe it?! Holy cow...

This week seemed to zip by. On wednesday we got to have interviews with the president. It was good to get to know him a little better and him me. He is from Farmington and seems like a pretty cool Mission President. Sister Morgan is awesome. At interviews we were standing around talking before it started and she comes up and asks if everyone is feeling alright...? No problems or sicknesses? I didn't want to bother them so we all said that we were fine. Well remember my Poison Ivy? It was getting way bad! its spreads through oils, and being out in the midwest, im sweating every second! so it just kept spreading! The next day i called her and told her remember how you asked if we had any problems...? well i lied... She laughed and sent me to the doctor. I got a shot... in my butt... The Poison Ivy is looking TONS better! and my arms is almost back to normal. :D it makes me so happy! im sick of it.

On thursday i got to go on exchanges with the zone leaders so i went down to campaign and was with Elder Anderson. Elder Anderson is pretty cool. and guess what? We hung out a couple times before the mission! he is one of Brayden's friends from St George! its cool to see him from back then to now. Anyway They serve on the campus of The University of Illinois and instead of tracting, we walked around campus and contacted! it was fun! I haven't done that before so i was definitely nervous doing it. but we talked to this Chinese girl and gave her a book of mormon and  told her all about it and she seemed way solid!

On Friday we had a dinner appointment, but we had some free time before it. So Elder Smith and i go visit this potential that lived near by. Her name is Latrice and she has a ton of little kids from 5-12yrs old and they were all there watching tv. Anyways long story short. We barged in, watched the restoration video with them and discussed it. And they were all so excited we gave them all a Book of Mormon and before we left they started reading it! It was so tight! We set a return appointment and we are visiting with them this week!

Last night we went over to a less actives house to see what we could do in helping them out (physically and spiritually) and while we were there the wife told us her cat was pregnant... a couple minutes later the cat comes over next to the wife and starts having contractions! So they got a box and a towel and put the cat in it, and in like 30mins out popped a kitten! then another 20mins or so goes by and out pops another! haha it was so weird! but i got to see the miracle of life... From a cat.... never thought that would happen on my mission. hahaha!

Well i love you all and i hope everything is going well back home!  I know this gospel is true! And i hope you guys know that to! Keep me updated on everything!

Till next time!

Love,

~Elder Chris Jones~

This is gross!
