I came home this afternoon to an inbox full of photos from Elder Jones! I'm posting most of them (not all of the graffiti ones, though - Elder Jones seems to really like the graffiti!) along with any descriptions he wrote with the photo, so hang on... this is going to be super photo-heavy! :D


Me, my trainer's trainer, my trainer


Me and Elder Welch - third cousins!


Side of Palmer Park building - it used to be a Catholic church, it's huge!


Front of building


A biker's club we talk with every now and then


Me in front of the big green dude {Mom's note: The big green dude is also known as the Spirit of Detroit. Sigh.}


Tunnel to Canada!


Sweet graffiti! You know who that is!


Some more sweet graffiti


Me and the D-town Grim Reaper


District photo


Black Jesus - he's a legend in the Dexter area!


On an exchange... sometimes you gotta get inventive on how you lock the bikes up!


Gotta love an Obama gas station.


Yeah, that's how I roll!


Elder Adair and me at the temple


A $17,500 watch at a VERY expensive mall!!


Mom - thought you'd like this one, hahaha.


This is how the word gets spread on Dexter Road.


The FIRETRUCK ran this one over! I wish I'd have gotten it on camera!


You find these all over.


And you see these all over.


Ford world headquarters.


E. Chaus and Aiden, an awesome member.


Me, holding the "infamous" tow chain. Back in the day, Aiden was traveling with some missionaries and some "bad guys" were coming at them and threatening them; well, Aiden prayed to Heavenly Father and asked for a weapon to protect his "younger brothers" (he calls everyone in the church family members) and a tow truck drove by and a tow chain fell off right in front of him. He took that as a sign and picked it up, and has been carrying it since 2006.

That's it for a while! Enjoy!
