Weird Week

Hello Family,
How’s it going? Well this week has been a little unusual. Well guess every week is like that for a missionary but this one was more unusual. First of all the temperature dropped to 60 and we got rain for 3 days strait. It was weird but fun because we got stuck in the rain while riding on our bikes, so we had to ride fast back top the apartments because we were drenched and that’s not very good when you are in white (if you understand what I mean), but it was still fun.

One way bad thing happed, Ci Ci our top investigator was going to have her baptism this week before I go maybe but we found out that she isn’t legally married to her husband- so now we have to move her baptism back. It makes me a little sad/mad that I won’t be there maybe, but I am happy because she is still willing to do whatever she has to do to be baptized. She does truly have a desire. Also her husband sparked an interest in the church and that is awesome because then not only will Ci Ci and here son be getting baptized, maybe the whole family. It makes me so happy.

Hey, I want to know more about this tornado because every body in California is talking about it- they say that it hit a small city and it worried me. When we had a rain storm here we also had a tornado it was around march air force base. That is way weird for that to happen here, I guess at least that is what the people tell us. Oh man, maybe these are signs of the second coming- ha ha. Which brings me to another thing, what are your thoughts on the Aztec calendar ending in, I think it is, 2012? And what do you think will happen that year?....just a thought.

Well family, I love you all very much and love your prayers and pray for you my self.

Not Much

Hey Family
How’s every one? Well I don’t have much to say about this weekend, other than it is so freakin’ hot outside. We have been riding outside all week in 110 degree weather- it’s brutal. But there is a good thing about it the people feel bad for us and let us come in- so that is good. We got into a few doors that way, plus we need water, were else are we going to get it- he he he. Well like I said, that’s about it.

I love you all and will talk to you in a week. And I am going to give you all an assignment- you all have to help build up the kingdom of God by helping the missionaries in your ward. Give them someone to teach (aka a referral).

Love you

Monday 5-12-08

Well family,
I don’t really have much to say (considering I just talked to all of you just yesterday). But I just want to thank you for all you do for me. I thank you for your prayers and your support. Thanks for talking with me. I love you and will talk with you next Monday.

Family oh Family,

I have so many good things to tell you. I was going to tell you on Mother’s Day when I call you but it is to exiting to hold for that long. This week was amazing. All of it was spiritual. The coolest thing was Adam Carlson’s baptism that was this past Saturday, everything went so great. The session was great, he got baptized and confirmed by his grandpa’s. And the best part was the end, were the missionaries had a surprise were we had to go up and bear our testimonies. I honestly never thought that I would ever cry giving my testimony to a 11 year old boy and tell him how much his Father in Heaven is so proud of him for making the decision he made to be baptized. It was one of the best experiences of my life, and I hope to enjoy it again.

The reason the rest of the week was so good is because we got 3 new solid investigators who have that longing thirst for the gospel. We also have met the record of excellence. All I can do is thank the Lord for putting those elect in our path for us to teach.

Also I am starting to realize how amazing the human body is because my hand is nearly healed, it is truly amazing-our bodies. My fingers weren’t stitched just glued and taped. I will have one cool scar though.

I love you all and will talk to you more on Mothers Day. And I ask a favor, that you will bless me and my companion and the Lords investigators. Thanks,
Elder Stones
