Happy Valentines Day!

So this week was a mixture of highs and lows. I found out that Johnny lingo is on the gospel library app! Talk about movie night after nightly planning! Haha my dad always said the line, "Mohanna you ugly!"
It always makes me laugh the way he says it! I also went on exchanges with elder Socarras, a missionary from Columbia. He is so cool and I
learned a lot of Spanish from him. But a cool story I had with him. We were tracting apartments when this huge storm hit! It was just dumping
buckets of rain! And there was lightning too! Like every couple of seconds a flash and a boom! We waited for it to stop but it kept getting worse. We had an appointment on the other side of the apartment complex, and we were going to be late! So amid the noise me and elder Socarras said a quick prayer of safety and then got on our
bikes And commenced the mad dash! It was so crazy! I couldn't even see
because of the water on my glasses! We were flying through puddles,

dodging trees, trying not to get hit by the bolts of lightning
flashing all around us! The whole bike ride was less than 2 minutes,
but we were soaked to the bone! Haha then we had a great lesson and
meal with a member and he took us home! Haha! Wow....epic. :) we also
had a valentines day party for the branch. We delivered invitations to
every single person in the branch! 26 homes for us on the north side!
And it was so helpful because we found out that half of the branch has
moved and the other half are going to different churches! (Not really
that extreme but a lot were and I figured that if everyone was active
then we would have to be a branch!) but the party was a huge success!
We had lots of less actives and non member friends come! But the best
part was this, remember back in Christmas when we had dinner with
Baptists? 

they were there and they got a lot of good friendships with
branch members, and they invited us the missionaries over for dinner
again! Yay! But now the sad part... Our teaching pool of about 15
investigators shrunk to a considerably smaller size! We only have 2
investigators right now cuz everyone dropped us! Oh well the devil is
a sneaky guy but we have god on our side and so if we put our trust in
him he will lead us out of dark times. I love the one definition of
patience, to accept gods timing. I have full faith in him and in this
gospel!  Love you all and thanks for all of the support!

Love Elder Jones ;)
