 Wow. I must begin my email with this sentence.
"Being a Missionary: The Best Calling Ever"
This week has been great!! I must say, there is so much power in the Book of Mormon! :) We have 5 investigators that are reading it intently! :) They're all flying through 1 Nephi! :) We had 8 investigators at church this week :) we kind of broke the law too. ;) We meet in the Relief Society Room and there is a sign that says, "Maximum Occupancy 32" We had 52 people in the room :) Haha Sioux City is practically on a huge snowball of success, that is rolling down a mountain and it gets bigger and bigger lol ;)
 We have these new Ti-Wi boxes in our cars. They drive me nuts!!! They're a GPS/Saftey Box installed into our cars. They measure how we drive and if we are driving safely. It yells at you if you are driving too fast or even brake too fast! The other day I was on a bridge going the Speed Limit! lol, and suddenly I hear, "SPEEDING VIOLATION!" I was like what the heck!!! We have cards to swipe on the box when we start the day and it replies, "Driver Logged In." :) I feel like a Secret Agent when I do that :) Haha
 Our investigators are soo cool! They're real people! :) [Better than imaginary people right? lol]
 My mission experience is incredible. It's truly helped me and shaped me. I've come to love my Heavenly Father and the Gospel more because of it. My love towards others has grown. lol. I have more courage to do things and even to talk with people. I've learned how to drive better lol.
 But more importantly my testimony has grown and has been molded into a strong foundation for me. 

I just got a call from President...
I'm a Zone Leader and I'll be with Elder Meza in Grand Island.

  1. Elder Jones, It is great to hear of your success and your love for the gospel. Congratulations on your call as a Zone Leader that is a wonderful opportunity! I loved that calling. It is great to not only work with your investigators but to help train and inspire the missionaries in your zone. You will be great! The box thing in car sounds cool. I had no idea anything like that even existed! Continue your great efforts in the lord's work! Your awesome brother! Sincerely, Bro. Brandon Monson
