Hey all!

This week was sweet! Opening up a new area is a challenge, but well worth the effort! I’m lovin E. Hoffman too, I’m having a blast! He’s way funny and still super focused for him only having 30 days left on the mission. We (together) have been able to see some sweet miracles because of our goals that we set!

Just a quick example…. So we got our bikes from the assistants because we don’t wanna go over on miles, well the day we got them we had actually gone more than what we had planned. So we had like a half hour till we needed to be in, and we parked outside of a house that a member no longer lives at, and pulled the bikes off the rack! Well we started riding, and soon enough after a left turn, and a couple right turns, we found ourselves in front of a house that was the only one on its street with a porch light on. Well, we walk up to it and it had a HUGE “No Soliciting” sign on it and my first thought was “Well, we were led here for a reason” and we knocked! This lady came to the door and I spoke, but I couldn’t tell you what I said, to me it felt like gibberish but I guess everyone else understood it hahaha, that’s because she invited us back on Tuesday to share our message with the whole family. It’s sweet! And as we were riding away Elder Hoffman said to me, “Man, as I was following you I said in my head we need to turn here, and then here, and then I thought ‘that house!’ and without saying a word to you, you did it!”. So we were definitely guided!

This next week looks really good, finally gonna get some snow on Sunday! This last week we hit 60 degrees!! :O Ha! We haven’t had more than a half inch of snow on the ground at a time! It snowed more when I was on bike than now!

Well hope you all have good week!

~ Elder Jones
