Hey Mom,

So I didn't hear from Matt sadly, but it is ok.  Maybe he will call today.  Haha, and I was just joking about the number, but still, don't call!  And Sister Moore...I have seen her picture.  That is funny.  Anyway, we have known about her for a couple of months now.  It is funny how far in advance the office knows things.  I am sure she can find some returned Sisters on Facebook.  I bet there is even a kyiv ukraine mission group and whatnot so just have her look.  That was always an easy way to find things out when I was home.  I don't have any info though.  And Sister Park has some, but I am in no position to ask her so just have her look it up on facebook. She can look up Mackenzie Robinson I guess.  You can also email Sister Park if you want.

 

I am glad to hear that all went well with Grandpa's birthday.  That is cool that the party went well and you got to talk to everyone.  I hope that everyone was happy to be together and I hope that you get to see conference too.  Hmm, I am not sure what else to say.  What is Josh up to right now?  Is he going to college?  And how is Jeffery doing in Brazil?!? 

 

Hey, back to the primary!  That is way cool to hear ;P  I am sure that will be a great experience for you and I am sure that you will do just great with all your experience.  And yes, I heard about the temple in Provo.  That was the only thing I heard from conference, other than that it was absolutely awesome like always.  We are so blessed to have living prophets.  Oh how God loves us!  That is cool to hear about the other temples too that will bless those lands.

So we are now representing the international branch here.  I will tell you more next week, but it is basically all the Americans who are working here.  There were only a couple of people there so it will be fun.

Honestly, I want to watch part of conference and actually get pictures sent off this week (I sent them just as time expired and I don't think it processed), so I will hurry and finish.  We are doing well here and talking to tons of people everyday.  We are here to declare the Restoration of the gospel and Church of Christ and there is nothing more important for anyone to be doing than this, the Lord's work!  We didn't have a lot of lessons, but we had many great conversations and found a lot of people who said they would be interested.  It was a lot of fun and we are loving doing the work that God needs to be done.  The temple here is really blessing the land and everyday people are coming to it to find out more (sadly we aren't in the office to teach them anymore).  The Lord's hand is at work in this country and throughout the world.  I know that this is His work and His Glory and that we are all instruments in His hands.  Jesus Christ is our Savior and God is our Heavenly Father and the great mastermind of the plan of salvation.

Love,

Elder Jones
