Thanks for your prayers. I´m going to work as hard as i can so God can make it happen. I get frustrated sometimes because Satan is working really hard to stop our investigators from progressing. It´s ridiculous:( Franco is one of our investigators that had a baptismal date. He prayed and knew it was true, but his mom hates us and doesn´t want him to receive us anymore so he told his cousin to tell us not to come by:( but this week, Ayelen, we have been teaching her english, went to a baptism with us, and she´s going through a lot of problems right now. they found out that her dad has cancer, so we gave her the book of mormon and told her how it would help her, so she´s going to read it:) she´s really great! I love her to death.

Yanina went to church again on Sunday. I gave her a skirt cuz she wasn´t go to go cuz she felt dumb going in pants. luckily it fit her. that was a miracle cuz she´s this tiny little thing, and I didn´t think it would.

Also, we were able to really teach Daiana´s mom this last week. I think she got a little mad at me because i showed her in the scriptures that her church isn´t really true ( which, just so you know, was super hard for me to so) not because i can´t find scriptures to prove her wrong but because it´s hard for me to be frank with people and just tell them straight out that their church is wrong, or their baptism isn´t valid, cuz it just seems so harsh. but i realized that sometimes you have to tell them plainly because this is their salvation! It´s kinda important...

We weren´t bible bashing or anything. i just read her the scripture and testified to her that there is only ONE true church.

I know it´s true, and i´m do grateful to be a missionary!!!!

Love you all and i´ll be talking to you soon:)

Hey Beloved Fambly!!! I didn´t wish you all happy thanksgiving last week so... HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!! Our thanksgiving turned out to be... well, not thanksgiving. It´s kinda a long story but in the end we ate rice with cheese in our apartment, but we did we make a banana cream pie the night before, so we officially had pie night! Yay! keeping the tradition alive, even in Argentina!!! oh, and also, the pie i made was a love pie! I took a picture of it! so that´s for you, cousin Dani:) Well, this week has been kinda a roller-coaster. Daiana was supposed to get baptized this next saturday but now she can´t because she didn´t go to church and she´s really not ready anyway, but it may be an answer to my prayers because we want the whole family to get baptized together and I wasn´t feeling really good about her getting baptized alone... so we´ll see. It still got me kinda down though. But, it´s crazy how when we get down, God sends us something to lift us up. That something for me came on Sunday. Yanina, an investigator went to church with us., and we´ve only taught her once but when we were walking home she said to us out of the blue, ¨when i know more about the church, i want to get baptized.¨ I almost peed my pants I was so startled! haha so i said, alright... we can teach you if you want;) Man, I LOVE being a missionary!!!! I´ve basically decided to keep being a missionary my whole life! I´ll just keep doing it after i get home, but as a kind of side job:) Anyway, That´s all i got this week! but I love you all! thanks for your love and prayers. please keep praying for me, and mostly for my investigators.

Love,

Ode to Thanksgiving!

Well, first and foremost, i had to pass through an ordeal this week that really just made me appreciate even more one of the only traditions that we have in America. We may not have a traditional food, or drink ¨mate¨ but we celebrate Thanksgiving!!! We ate with the bishop´s family on Saturday, and his wife asked us why we celebrate thanksgiving. So we told her, we give thanks for everything we have. it´s like a holiday to remember the things we´re grateful for. and she said somthing like, ¨that doesn´t make sense¨ .... Huh? how does that not make sense? so we explained to her how it came about with the pilgrims and indians, and she kept trying to find an argentine holiday that would be similar, but she couldn´t because it doesn´t exist.

Anyway, even though Argentines don´t understand why we have a day to stuff ourselves until we´re about to throw up, I love it! and it´s something that i really am proud of! you can be ungrateful all you want, Argentina. But i am going to keep my day to give thanks! haha

Anyway, that´s really all for this week. I have more things to share, things that actually have to do with mission work, but i´ll tell you all later:)

Love,

Hermana Jones

 

PS Congrats on the wedding Ken!

Miracles Happen

Hey again Papa:)
You get 2 emails because you sent me 2. haha but this one you can send to the family so that everyone will get off my back! jk, i love you all!
oh, but first of all, to answer your question... I´m really not unorganized at all. My concerns had more to do with having to be in charge. i don´t like responsibility. but it´s been ok! God is helping me:)
and speaking of God, I have a couple stories to tell this week! 2 miracles
firstly... we were walking down the street one day and a lady yelled at us from her window on the other side of the street, so we crossed, and the crazy woman is trying to ask us a question, but there is like mach 5 wind outside (not even joking) and we can´t hear a word she´s saying. seriously, it was miracle enough that we heard her call to us from the street.
so she yells, ¨i´ll come down!¨ and we´re like... please do. so she comes down and says, ¨i was just wondering if there´s a mormon college around here¨ and we said, ¨nope. but can we come in?¨ and she said, ¨sure¨ and told us how her daughter had gone to the church before and they talked to the missionaries, but in the north. they just moved here from Cordoba. Anyway, They´re really great!!! and it the mom, grandma, and granddaughter that live there. the granddaughter is the one who went to the church before. so we set up an apt. to go back in this next week. miracle number 1
miracle 2... Gustavo. He was a reference from the elders, a street contact. we were trying to find his house yesterday but forgot the map in the pension and so we decided to go visit some other people, and then on the way back ( oh, we were with a member, Gabriel) so we were talking to him and just happened upon the street we were looking for before! gustavo´s street. so we found his house and he let us in, and told us he had talked to an elder, he couldn´t even remember his name, but that it changed everything. he went out that day looking for a fight. and the elder came up to him and said, ¨how´s it going brother?¨ and he said he didn´t know why he didn´t yell at him or insult him even though he was really angry, but he just answered, ¨not good¨ and the elder told him he should go to church. Gustavo promised him that he would and they parted ways.
It was a five minute conversation, but for the rest of the day, good things were happening to him. He had left his house that day, ready to kill someone (literally, a guy owed him money and he went to get it from him. he said, ¨i had my knife in my pocket, and if he didn´t pay me, I was going to kill him¨) but after he talked to this missionary, he hid his knife somewhere on the side of the road, and picked it up on the way back from talking to the man who owed him.
He told us, ¨I just want to know the path. I´ve never gone to church in my life but i want to go, because i promised that elder! and i don´t know if your path is the path that God wants me on, but I´m willing to follow it. I´ll do whatever i need to.¨
yep... that´s miracle number 2. I was like.... ¨umm... ok. We´ll teach you¨ :)
so, that´s that! Those people who say that God doesn´t do miracles anymore are absolutely mistaken! I was always ok with just having little miracles, but i´m not gonna complain if He lets me see big ones too ;)
Anyways, Times up! but i love you all bunches!!!! Be Good!!!
Love,
Hermana Jones

Um....

So, I´m here in Neuquen! I said goodbye to everyone in Trelew. my investigator, Deborah, cried a lot and she wrote me a really beautiful letter and gave me her hair clip to remember her ( and i´m actually wearing it right now!) she´s so cute! I just want her to get baptized. unfortunately she has to get married first, or separated:( but i know she´s going to get baptized soon!

anyway, so fun story, I was feeling pretty good, I didn´t even cry in the bus when i left. 12 hours later (oh ps, i hate long bus rides!) i arrived, slightly tired, in the terminal and started talking to my new comp, Hna Murdock. We were waited for the taxi to get there and I asked her how long she had been in Neuquen. And she said, no... yesterday. and of course we were speaking in spanish and i thought maybe she just hadn´t understood me, so i asked her in English, ¨no, How long have you been here in Neuquen?¨ and she said, ¨yeah, I understood you. I got here yesterday¨

umm.... WHAT?! yes, that´s right. we´re whitewashing the area... and nobody told me!!!! I almost died of a heart attack! how are they going to forget to tell me something as important as that?! so yeah, haha I just laughed and was like, ok this will be fun. and we went to the pension. then, i soon realized that the missionaries before us left nothing behind as far as teaching records go, so we basically are just starting over from scratch... even more fun. haha but seriously, I´m lovin it. it´s definitely an adventure. the first few days, we just went out and knocked doors all day long! we also didn´t have lunch and the other hnas left us without minutes in the cellphone, so we went to a public phone and just started calling random families in the ward. we got ahold of hna Monzon who said she could give us lunch the next day, and when we went to her house, we told her that we didn´t have lunch that week, and she called eveyone until she found someone to feed us for every day! so, God is definitely helping us:) even in the small things.

Our ward mission leader seems really great, although he thinks we´re stupid because we got lost on our way to the church, but it wasn´t our fault, we just had the map upside down... i probably shouldn´t admit that to you guys, and i shouldn´t have told him either, because then afterward, he told us which way was north and which was south like 12 times, and then made us repeat it to make sure we understood... GRRR!!! we´re not blonde! haha it´s ok though..

Anyway, just wantyou all to know that i´m doing great! Thanks for everything!!!

Love,

Hermana Jones

Me Voy

Well Fambly!

Transfers came again! and this time i´m changing. I´m going to Neuquen! and i´m going to be senior comp... umm... I don´t know what my Father was thinking when He decided that, but then i guess we never do know:) Anyway, it´s definitely going to be a learning experience! My new comp is Hna Murdock and i met her once before because she was in my zone in my first area. She seems really great so i´m excited!!! Although I´m seriously going to miss Hna Varela! with 3 whole transfers together we´re already really used to each other, so it´s gonna be different getting to know yet another comp, different but always fun:)

so, the penguins... well, they are pretty cute. there´s a ton of them! like millions so it was fairly entertaining to go visit, even though it ended up eating up our whole p day cuz we had to travel 2 hrs to get there and 2 hrs back. I took a bunch of pictures so i´ll send you those soon! It was a pretty fun drive. all of the elders squished into the back of this little truck, and my comp and i went in the front seat ( which was also super squished) and every time anyone moved, the hna that was driving swirved all over the road. I was kind of afraid for my life! but luckily, we all survived:)

Anyway, that´s all for now! I love you all and miss you!

Love Hna Jones

PS I got the packages! from mom and from JD too! THANKS A BUNCH:) Love the skirt Telli! and the shirt from the volleyball tournament. I´m gonna use it on a p day!

Just a quick Message

Hey!!!

I´m gonna write a really short message to the fam today... sorry:) This week was a good one. If you got the last email, you know that I´m still here in Trelew and I´m still with Hna Varela! We were SUPER surprised when they told us! so she´s probably going to finish her mission here, and this next transfer i´ll be heading to another area... or that´s what we´re guessing! but anyway, I just wanted to let you all know that I love you SO much!!!! I´m so grateful for the wonderful family that God gave me!

Just so you all know, I´m doing great! I always forget what i want to tell you when i come to do internet... the next week i´m going to write down what i want to say.

anyway, that´s all for this super lame email!

Love you all!!!!

Love, Hna Jones

Recovering

My Beloved Fambly...
It is oficially FREEZING outside. wanna know how i know? because this morning my comp hung her clothes out to dry (our landlady doesn´t like us to hang them inside cuz she says it gets everthing wet and foggy) and when we went out to wash to stairs, i noticed that there were icicles hanging from the bottom of all of her clothes!!! haha I touched her toweland it amost shattered into a million pieces! How great is that?! so i took a picture. I have a feeling her clothes aren´t going to dry anytime soon:)
oh, so then we had to clean the stairs but it was really difficult because my comp would wash one and the dirty water would freeze to it faster than i could dry it! in the end the stairs ended up dirtier than when we started, and definitely more dangerous, cuz they had a layer of icky brown ice! hahaha i don´t know why we even tried.
So, it´s a little bit cold but today really isn´t bad because it´s not windy. 2 nights ago, we went with one of our investigators to his church. he´s evangelical. and when we were walking there, it was SO cold because of the wind. we almost died! but luckily we made it to his church, and it was actually really great. my first experience going to another church, and luckily i didn´t leave the building traumatized:) no, the people were all super friendly! they invited us in and we sat down. They sing a lot! we sang all the songs with them which was pretty fun:) Oh, and we went because we made a deal with him that if we went to his church, he would come to ours. and he came sunday, AND he brought his friend. So, it was great!
anyway, I gotta go! I love you all!
Love, Hna Jones

Stuck in the Mud!

so... first of all, did you get the pictures i sent in my email? cuz I really want to know if they actually get there or not, cuz if not i wont waste my time in sending them.

Second... Happy 24th of July:) and I dont really remember what I wanted to tell you all...

I guess Ill just catch ya up on the semi-interesting things that happened this week.

the other night we were leaving an appt and had to go to our mision leader who lives on the other side of this big empty field, so rather than go all the way around, we figured that we would just cut through and save time. So, its kinda dark (cuz thats what happens at night) and we are just frolicking merrily through this field when, all of a sudden, we sink! uh oh! so were like, Dang it!!! the dirt wasn{t as dry as it looked... so our feet are all sunk in and we figure we better turn around and head back in the other direction, and we{re trying to yank our boots out of this horrible mud that i{m almost certain is a creation of the devil! seriously, in my whole life i have never seen mud so sticky! anyway, I get out one foot and am able to turn around to help my comp who is having more difficulties. so she{s holding onto my arm and trying to get her shoe unstuck but the problem is that her boots are a little bit too big for her, so her foot comes out but the boot stays and she got all off-balance and toppled over. I tried to catch her but to no avail! Luckily, I didnt fall with her:) so we finally get her boot out and make our way out of the demon field, to the house of our mission leader, with our boots, and my comp{s skirt, completely covered in mud. Turns out, he and his wife had family over and literally every person in that house was looking at us like we were slimey creatures that just crawled out of a sewer drain. haha it was horrible, but hilarious at the same time. I think i probably laughed off 5 lbs... (I wish it worked that way) haha

and that{s all i got to say this week because... I just got bored of typing:)

but i love you oodles and gobs!!!

LOVE,

Hermana Jones

A New Transfer!

HEY!!!!!!!
well, it´s a new transfer! and my comp and i are both staying here:) yes, it´s a good thing! we´ve got some great investigators and set goals that we are going to reach!
sunday was a fantastic day! well... It was pretty much horrible outside, rainy and windy( it´s the wind that gets me) but it didn´t even matter how ridiculously cold it was, the day was still wonderful. wanna know why? cuz Paola got baptized, and Lorenzo received the Arronic Priesthood!
First of all, Paola... she called us Saturday evening and was like, Hey, I can´t get baptized tomorrow cuz my husband says that he´ll kick me out of the house if i do! so we went to talk to her, and her husband, out of the blue, came home the night before and said that to her,and that Mormons worship Satan and we steal babies. he told her we were only there to take their little girl! ( that´s one that i´ve seriously never heard before) and she started to doubt. she knows we aren´t satanic, and she already got her answer that the church is true, but Satan always seems to creep in when their about to be baptized. anyways, we talked to her and told her she just had to pray. We reminded her that she already felt the spirit confirm that it´s true and God will bless her for doing what she knows is right no matter how scary it seems. so she said, ¨well, come by in the morning and I´ll let you know if i´m getting baptized for sure.¨
Oh, you don´t even know how nerve-wracking that night was! but when we went by in the morning to pick her up for church, there she was, and she said she was waiting for her sister to get ready and she would see us there! and then she came! and the baptism was fabulous! and guess what! her husband came!!!! he was there for her baptism, and a talk after, and ate cake with us. It was a miracle! and then afterward, they gave the elders a ride to their house and her husband invited them to come visit them!
I was flabbergasted! but yeah, it was a wonderful day. oh, i didn´t tell you about Lorenzo! He is seriously Golden! you don´t even know how great this kid is! he walked to church in the freezing cold, and we were leaving to go pick up an investigator when he got there, so he said, oh i´ll come with you! ( the investigator lives close to him so he knows her) and we walked all the way back to his house. we went to get her and he had to grab something, so we were going to pick him up in the taxi but there wasn´t room, so he told us to just go, and he walked all the way back to the church in the rain again to be there for sacrament meeting! and he sat by our investigator and helped them with their hymn books and everything!
to be continued.. i gotta go!
love you all!
Happy B-day to JD, and Brooklynne, and Brogan!!!!

It's me again!

Thanks Papa, for your testimony:) and for everything! How was the 4th of July? what did you all do? I realized saturday night that you were probably all celebrating and watching fireworks, and I told Hna Varela, hey guess what! Tomorrow is independence day! Happy 4th of July, Hermana! haha she was like... umm, thanks. its weird that a holiday that has been so huge my whole life doesnt even exist here. it{s probably going to be even weirder on thanksgiving! but anyway...

Lorenzo got baptized Saturday! it was fantastic! you dont even know how excited i am for him! also, Argentina lost in soccer, which is really a blessing in disguise because now we don{t have to worry about not being able to work during argentinas matches, because there wont be anymore:) It was still pretty sad though when they lost. we went to the house of a less active member cuz she said while they were watching the game, we could cook, and then just have lunch there with them. so we tried to do that but my comp couldn{t really focus on the food, she was so anxious to see what happened in the game! i think she almost grated her finger off like 5 times:) haha

hmm... what to tell this week... I dont know, but last night, when we got to the pension we were so tired! so i{m sure we must have done somthing this week, but i guess it just wasnt terribly entertaining. Im pretty sure we were so tired because we literally knocked houses all day yesterday! and apt buildings, which are worse cuz you have to cilmb up all those stairs! haha, but it really wasn{t all that bad. in fact, it{s probably good for me! I should do it every day!

guess what. my boots are almost entirely dead, and when i got to trelew one of the members gave me new ones ( cuz i forgot mine in regina) so i wore tose out completely, and then my other ones got here and now ive almost killed these ones! shoes just dont last!!!! I dont know why they dont make them... better. thicker or something! but i guess its because most people don{t walk around all day long, every day, for months, in the same pair of shoes:)

This is super boring email... sorry, but my brain doesn{t seem to be functioning all that well today:)

Hope you know that I love you!

Besitos

Love, Hna Jones

Hey Fam!

Dear Fam,

I don´t have much time. we went to puerto madryn today to see the whales! that was pretty fun but we weren´t able to email before and we got back later than we wanted so i gotta make this quick:)

I´m sending you pics, there are 2 of my bday party with Lorena and Mariela, and then... with Hna Porter. we painted for a service project. umm... then the others you can see my new comp, Hna Varela! those are from today... hopefully they make it to you!

what do i have to tell you... our investigator, Lorenzo, took his friend to institute with him the other day! we were so shocked!!! we just mentioned it to Lorenzo when we were teaching, like hey there´s an institute class tonight at the church. you can go if you want. and the next time we went to teach him, his friend, Orlando, was like, ¨hey lorenzo, we forgot to do the homework! we were supposed to read about enos.¨ and my comp and i were so confused... and they´re like ¨yeah, we went to institute last night.¨ we practically jumped out of our seats we were so excited!!! haha then we taught them both together and put a baptismal date with Orlando! he´s going to be baptized the day before his bday, July 2! and Lorenzo, June 26!!!! They´re really great! and they both had a lot of problems before with drugs and all that, but they´ve been changing their lives up to this point. now they just have to leave behind a few little things:) I really think God was preparing them to accept His gospel!

Anyway, we´re pretty excited about that!!!

love you all for ever and ever!!!!

Love, Hna Jones

oh, and Mom, I gave your email address to a member here that we met today. her name is Adriana Castro and she´s going to email you. she´s moving to Utah, park city and is looking for somewhere to live and work. but she doesn´t know anyone there. she asked if i knew anyone and I told her I didn´t but that maybe you might know of someone, or be able to check into it a little... i don´t know. maybe Uncle Donny knows someone.... anyway, just a heads up. don´t worry, she´s not trying to mooch or anything. she just doesn´t know where to start looking.

also, if you can send me some pics of the house (our house) from the outside, that´d be super. my comp wants to see it:)

And Dad, what is your calling right now? she asks me the weirdest questions;)

also Mama, sorry, I´ll answer all your questions next week! Luv ya!

Transfer Time!

Hey Fam!!!!

So, here´s what´s goin down... I´m leaving good ol Villa Regina and heading way down south to Trelew! My comp is going to be Hna Varela. She´s from Argentina and I hear she´s really great! My first Latin comp! woohoo.... but seriously I´m super excited:)

oh, I have to tell you, I bought big rubber boots last week! cuz it rained SO much for like three days straight, which basically meant that we were trudging through swamps! there was so much mud!!!!

it was hilarious. we wore our boots that suck as far as waterproofness goes. (mine are suede and hna Porters have giant holes in the soles) and in 2 min our feet were soaked! so we had lunch with flia Salgado and we told them about our wet feet and they decided to help us out. they found some of Hna salgado´s shoes for hna Porter ( with bright pink tall socks) and then, because my feet are Argentine man sized, I ended up with Hno Salgado´s boots. they were too big but I had dry feet at least. and that´s how we left their house, with skirts, thermals underneath of course, and hideous boots! we were quite the sight. everyone in the bus kept looking at us like we were crazy:) but, oh well, they worked really nicely! not a drop of water got in!!!! but, that night we bought our rubber boots so we would look a little less stupid.

Oh man! I´m gonna miss Hna Porter! But it´s ok. The mission can´t be easy, and it´s just too easy with her. we´re way too comfrotable together:) haha anyway, gots to go!

Love you all muchisimo!!!!!!

Love, Hna Jones

OK FAMILIA!!!!
this week has been awesome! i realized something... i LOVE teaching!
i've never felt this way before about it! and it's not like i loathed
teaching before but now it's amazing!!! i have this desire to teach
people because THEY NEED IT! i don't know what it is and i can't even
describe it but it's basically the same thing i've known all along,
you don't teach a lesson, you teach a person.
now, there are a couple reasons i think i feel on fire all of a sudden,
and Hna Georgeson too. we've been great this week!
first, we've been doing better at comp prayer every night, also, we had
a really good planning session for this week and i think God blessed us
for it! but most of all, at least for me, is that I decided to stop being
selfish. i stopped praying for me and started praying for everyone else,
every lesson we teach i pray all day for that person so we can teach them
what they need, and every day i have been picking a different missionary
in my district to pray for, first it was hna Georgeson and i wrote Shay
about that experience i think, then Elder Ericsson, yesterday was
Hna Squires, and today I've been praying to help Hna Lyons.
and guess what? GOD ANSWERS! every time, He answers!!! and it's simple
sometimes and bigger other times but He has answered me and I can see my
Heavenly Father allowing me to help other people! honestly, there is
nothing better! I feel like i understand a little bit now why Dani said
she loved teaching so much. i remember she said that was her favorite
thing in the mission field, and when i got here, at first i really just
didn't get it because teaching is the scariest part!!! especially in a
different language:)but this week i taught with the spirit... IN SPANISH!
i didn't think the two could actually go together for me, not yet anyway.
but it's amazing how the Spanish can come when there is something that
you are just absolutely dying to tell that investigator, when you know
that the thing you need to tell them will honestly help them, and could
change their lives.anyway, needless to say, i feel pretty good right now:)
also, i'm sorry if my letters are too preachy... or, i don't know... but
this is what i'm doing. this is everything that's important. Hopefully,
i explained myself. with how long this email is, how could i not, right?
haha well, i love you all SO SO MUCH!
Only 11 more days here!

January 8, 2010

Hola!
So, i told you that we were going to have the chance to be hosts again this
week i think... anyway, we did. i went to help my first sister with her
luggage and i looked up at her ( she was tall :) ) and guess who it was!
Katherine Cooper!!!! yes, this is reality! crazy huh?! i had no idea she was
planning on serving a mission! so i think i screamed and i gave her a huge
hug. i was totally speechless for at least a full minute. i just kept making
weird surprised noises... haha! anyway, it was awesome cuz i got to help her
get settled and what-not! small world, the MTC:)
so, next order of business... hna Georgeson might end up flying out the same
time as the rest of us! i guess her visa is coming along. it might end up
being a few days late but we'll see. i hope it gets here on time. i would
really rather not travel alone! that's just scary:)
also, i'm probably just going to send my memory card home in Shay's letter
and have you print off pics for me because the machine keeps breaking before
i get a chance to use it! dang other missionaries! so, i'll try to let you
know who is who in the pictures. that way you're not toally lost. i just
want you to be able to see my district!!!
so... spiritual thought this week. i don't have the scripture ref but i read
about when Peter walked on water and i just hate that people always look
down on him because he sunk. but here's my thought and it's probably not new
but i just loved it anyway. there were 11 other apostles who didn't even get
out of the boat. first, peter calls to Christ and says, hey, tell me to come
to you. and Christ says, ok, Come Here! and he still had the option of begin
like... oh haha jk. i changed my mind, but he got out. and this man WALKED
ON WATER! he's the only other person besides Jesus Christ to ever do that!
How amazing is that?! and yes, he doubted and started to sink, but the
first thing he did was call out to Christ to help him. He didn't try and
save himself by his own will power. he turned to his Lord. and then Jesus
says to him, oh ye of little faith. i used to think, WHAT? little faith?!
really? he walked on water! but i think Jesus, who sees the potential in
every one of us, saw the potential in Peter. He knew what this man could
become and so, in comparison, this was "little faith".
and Peter made plenty of mistakes, but look what he became! the leader of
the church after Christ's death. "upon this rock i will build my church"
man, i just love Peter! He's awesome:)
I guess that's pretty much the end. i have less time today because the
computer is lame and ate almost half of my minutes:( but I love you all!
thanks for your love and prayers!
Be good!!!!
Loves,
Hna Jones
