Ok well this week has been a good week. We had great experiences, lots to be said, but I am only going to tell you a few, do to time. Well, we have a investigator named Brenda and we have been teaching her for about three weeks now. And we just taught here about baptism and she is exited about getting baptized. But she said she is not ready yet. So we are going to give her time, but she is definitely going to be baptized.
Also you will never believe this but Elder Lamm and I found a jungle. Ok it may be small but it looks like one. It is up in the mountains, or I guess I should say hills, but it had palm trees, vines, all kinds of animals, even those kangaroo rats- I saw one of those things jumping around in there. It was awesome! Elder Lamm and I are going to go back to that place and walk around in it next p-day. Oh by the way, I got to see Danny and Amy. They came to Riverside to see Amy’s twin sister and they invited me over to see them before Danny was deployed in 3 weeks. Over all we had a good week. A lot of good things are happening in my life here on my mission and I love it.

Meeting Up With the Gibson's
Michael was able to see Danny and Amy Gibson in Riverside on Sunday (January 25). Danny and Amy are family friends and Elder Stones is serving in Amy's sister's area in Riverside. The Gibson's got to call and report that Michael is doing great. Danny said that he looks like he's gained some weight(haha)but that he looks healthy and very happy. It was good to hear that Elder Stones is doing good and is happy!!

Crazzy Week!!
Ok, sorry for not emailing you yesterday. It was a holiday and so the libraries were closed.
Anyway, I have a cool story to tell you, so about 3 days ago my companion, Elder Lamm and I, were tracting this street and we weren’t having a lot of success. Then our last door is where the rest of the day changed. We knocked on the door and a man around 70 or 80 opens the door we introduce ourselves and he says "Why I otta’ knock you in the jaw!” He starts walking fast towards us and socks Elder Lamm in the jaw. Lamm turns and runs and I am right behind him. Then I turn around and stop him and asked him what he was doing he replied, “Nothing, come on in and we will talk.” I said no, we are just going to go. Then Elder Lamm went to shake his hand and he pulled him in his house. Luckly Elder Lamm got away, but still it was a close one, but we weren’t worried- he was only 80. But we both thought it was funny. We had a good laugh.
We have had a lot going on. We are now teaching the members, just to get them siked about missionary work. Things are great, all is well but i just had to tell you that one cool experience. Love you family.

One More Year I GET To Serve
Hello family, man do I have some cool stuff to tell you. Well you know I am on special assignment because I am doubled in. Well it is really hard to start a teaching pool if you don’t have one. I want you to know we are being blessed because we are not finding people the people are finding us. We have had 5 new investigators in the past week which is awesome. It really is a humbling experience and we have a great ward to work with, probably the best I have seen in my whole YEAR OF SERVING!!!!!!
Yeah, man has this year gone by fast. I started in Riverside and now I am back. It is like I never left. I truly have had a great year and learned a ton and can’t wait to make this next year better than the first. Thank you families for all you do and your phenomenal support. I love you.

New Area
Hey Fam,
Sorry I didn’t write you last week but something big happened, I got transferred! But that was way unexpected. I am back in Riverside on a special assignment. My new comp, Elder Lamm, who is way cool by the way, got doubled in to the Canyon Crest Ward on bike and I will tell you what I have never had a harder area. There are so many steep hills and I am not in shape at all but at the end I will be able to do the biggest bike race ever. The work is slow but we will get it going soon enough hopefully. This is going to be tough but hey I got a good companion to help. He is awesome and way funny. Also he is going to probably be my only comp that will be taller than me, its weird being the short one- he is 6’ 4”.
We had a great New Years and Christmas. Elder Marks loved the stocking he said "Stones your fam. is awesome!"
Well I’ve got to go but I love you.
