Hey there Family! How goes it?

This week has been pretty good... not as good as it could have been but it went alright.
So as i told you last week, we had a zone training and i was super pumped to do missionary work! So the next day i just had this drive! i was pumped! but we only had one lesson planned... so we spent the day doing some service and visiting less actives and a bunch of referrals we had. Nothing really came of it, nobody was home. At the beginning of the day though we realized we didn't have any member to come with us to Sam and Mikaelas, so we basically called everyone but they all had meetings they had to go to! So... no member present. It ended up being a great lesson though we talked to them about tithing and then discussed their concerns about baptism. For the longest time Sam hadn't felt like she had been getting any answers to prayer but when we talked to her i asked if she felt like she had been getting answers to her prayers and she said YES! her only concern is her family. She wants her husbands blessing and to understand what it is she is doing. so we are trying to sit down with him but he has a really hectic schedule. But Sam id incredible! The closer she gets to the gospel the more negativity Satan tries to throw at her. But she is so strong and so is Mikaela. They know how to stand their ground! and i love seeing how much this gospel has changed them! Its amazing!

That night the Zone leaders stopped in and we went on exchanges the next day. It went good Elder Francis (hes from aunt Dona's ward) and i, did a lot of tracting and had little results but we found this guy who is from Lithuania and really respects what we did and said if we get him a Lithuanian Book of Mormon he will read it! So if any of you have one... Please send it ASAP! Later we visited some Perspective Elders and potentials and i started to feel pretty tired and my nose started to get stuffy... Yup sure enough the next day i woke up and was sick! I HATE IT! Elder Brown from Danville south was sick as well so in order to make our day as productive as possible, we did our exchanges and the sick people stayed in all day and Elder Brooks and Smith conquered the world. The next day i felt a little better so i decided i was just going to go full force with the day. And then Elder Smith got sick... so we ended up staying in another day... ugh... so unproductive! i wanted to be out doing work! Sunday i felt better. and today im feeling great. Elder Smith is starting to feel better today, so hopefully this week goes a little more smooth.

Well thats about it. sorry this email was so short. i hope this week is a little more productive. I love you all and hope you are doing great!

Love, 
~Elder Chris Jones~
