A Good letter from Elder Jones

this week was a week of miracles though! i have never felt more like a missionary than i have this week! we had a lesson with a potential where we had role played the inspired questions that we were going to ask. when we got there during the whole lesson we felt like she was holding something back and that it just wasnt hitting home enough. but then we read moroni 10:3-5 and she broke down crying as she read it! she then told us that she had met with missionaries long ago that had come to her in a dificult time and they had given her hope! she had in fact been baptized! and now in another dark time in her life the missionaries somehow found her again and she has had that faith re-ignited in her life that this gospel can help!

also we had a referral from the windy ridge sisters for a spanish woman that has got to be the most prepared person i have ever seen! she said that she was evangelist and that she grew up that way but that there was always something missing! she heard about our church from a friend and she said that she wants more peace and joy in her life and that she believes that marriage should be something more! that families are more important than society is portraying them to be! that she is willing to do anything to receive this knowledge and testimony! i mean this is the stuff that you hear all of the time in home coming talks! and it is happening right here in orlando florida!

we are also having really good success finding peoples concerns through asking inspired questions! there was a woman who we contacted who seemed like she was going through some hard times...she kept talking about how much evil was in the world and so i asked her if she had been affected by that evil, and she broke down crying and told us a story about how her brother had just been killed in guatemala! we were able to share the plan of salvation with her to inspire hope that she could see him again!

K. came to church yesterday and she loved it! hopefully we can get her on a temple tour so she can gain more excitement about her baptism!

in other things this week we had fun setting things on fire with a mirror, my pedal broke off completely, and yeah! it was awesome!
