Space Invasion

Yo what's up peeps! 


Starting things off, I'm getting transferred to an area in the mission pretty similar to a place in the US! It's a pretty sweet part of the mission because it's so far away from everything that you feel super secluded and free! It's a town called Varginha, a while ago the people in the town started claiming that they saw aliens. I'm not sure if aliens really came, but It's hard to deny because everything that can be space themed is. Which is where it is pretty similar to Roswell New Mexico!  And, they have donuts there that taste like American ones. 


I'm actually super pumped to go there!  A few transferes ago I did splits there, and afterward always wanted to work there. It's a super small town called Minas Gerais, which means they have really weird accents, and any sound you make is a compliment.  I'm gonna be comps with another north American. This makes 8 transfers that I've had American comps and my Portuguese is feeling it! 


I'm a little bummed to leave my old area because we had some amazing people progressing, and recently we had the opportunity to help some of them be baptized!  Also, at church during a general conference, we had some dude who was on Crack or cocaine, I'm not sure the difference, watch with us! It was pretty chill but then at the end he started going a little crazy and we had to escort him out. 


Love you all!  Elder Jones

Hey everyone, sorry it's been a little while since the last time I wrote. It's been a crazy few weeks.  So I'm here in my new area still São João Del-Rei, I've been assigned to this area for 3 weeks now, but only have been here physically for 2. The first week was super hectic, but the past two weeks have been amazing! Last week after finding a member that's been inactive for a little while, he led us to a few teens that have already been to church a few times! They are super super cool, they love the gospel and going to church! We had them on date to get baptized for this past Sunday, but sadly their mom doesn't feel like they're old enough to make the decision on their own, yet. So we're trying to help the whole family now see the truthfulness of the gospel!  Also, we found this other guy, he was a referral through other missionaries, we've met with him only a few times because his life is super busy. Last time we meet with him was Saturday, we pla...

Transferência De Novo!!

E aí cachorro, como vai. What's up everyone!!! this week has been pretyy wild, let me explain... Tuesday (dia de cavalo)- every Tuesday we get home late in the day because we have to travel 2 hours from where our district meets for district meeting, so it's never a full day of missionary work. However, this Tuesday we got home especially late, at 1:00 and had to wait until 3 to eat lunch, so when we were finally ready to work it was already almost 5, a lot later than usual!! So all we did was a ton of street contacts.  We wanted to get to know an area of our city that we haven't seen yet, so we went for a walk on the freeway (you read that right, the FREEWAY!), which surprisingly had a bunch of people walking on it. There we met this guy named João.  We started out talking to him about his life, and he seemed pretty cool.  We then asked if we could share a message with him, and his response was right now no, I lost my horse, I need to find him. We thought that was a ...
