| We match on the daily. We do not plan it, we are awesome. |
Last Monday after emailing we just chilled in our apartment and stuff until 6. At 6 we went with the Singleton's to their home to have dinner.
Per my request we had some true Southern food. I can't remember what it is called or what exactly was in it but it was good whatever it was. :)
Oh the Singleton's are members. They have two of the cutest little boys that have ever walked the face of the earth! They are so funny and full of energy! They are also very respectful too, which is good.
On Tuesday it was Dad's and Sister Conder's birthday! Happy Birthday! It was also my 2nd month mark.
It was pouring rain that day and it was our last day of biking.
Biking in the pouring rain is super exciting!
It was actually really fun! The rain here is really thin, it is more like mist, but there is a whole lot of it! So we were drenched after riding like 2 seconds, but it was warm too so we really didn't mind.
The only part that wasn't fun was that we couldn't see very well.
I should've worn goggles...
For dinner that night we went to the Smiths, and Sister Smith went all out for Sister Conder's birthday. We had Lasagna and garlic bread, and red velvet cake.
On Wednesday we went to Magnolia for District Meeting. It was our first there since the new sisters arrived in Magnolia.
Elder Blair, Sister Conder and I were super excited about that.
Why?
Well during our first DM in Magnolia the Tornado sirens started to go off as we were singing the closing hymn and the Mag Elders told us that that happens every Wednesday.
(I was super bummed. I wanted there to be a tornado. :( )
Anyway now the sisters know about it and now they are very glad that it only happens on Wednesdays while they are in El Dorado or when a tornado comes.
The siren is very loud and super obnoxious.
After DM when we got back to El Dorado which is a half hour away, we went to see Deon. Deon was excited to see us. He invited us in and told us that he was done with his church and then he told us that he was going to come to Sacrament Meeting!
SOO we set up an appointment where we could give him a church tour and then left to go to the church for our lesson with Kelsey.
WE SET A DATE FOR KELSEY! She will be getting baptized on April 9th. Her mom wants both of us there so we are working hard on getting her ready.
On Thursday we pretty much visited 2 people.
First we visited with Donna Carle, she is a less active recent convert who lives in an assisted living home. She talks our ears off, but we love her. She is so sweet.
Second we visited with Lou Craig, she is a funny old lady. You know the quadruplets that were a really big thing on the news awhile ago. Well she is related to them, I think they are her sister's great grandchildren or something like that.
Then that night we went to the Relief Society activity because we got an investigator to go.
Her name is Cristy Kyle. She would probably be baptized already if her husband would come to church.
I think I have already told you about Jason and Cristy and their situation....
Review: Jason has severe anxiety and Cristy doesn't want to leave him alone. Basically she won't be baptized until Jason will.
Anyways, Cristy and Sister Smith are now like the best of friends! SUCCESS!
The only thing a remember about Friday is that we had pizza at a member's house and that it was super good. It was also weekly planning so that is probably why I don't remember much because weekly planning takes up most of the day and we do the same things for the most part.
On Saturday Sister Conder didn't feel very well so we didn't get to do most of our plans....
We did go out and tract for a little bit and that helped Sister Conder feel better so we went to the Chinese Buffet for dinner. That place is so good, but it's super weird because I always have to ask for chop sticks...
On Sunday after church we went to visit the Spencer's and you should all feel proud of me.
They were watching [Lord of the Rings] The Two Towers and I only watched it a little tiny bit. I stayed focused on the lesson. 
GO ME!
We had a lesson with Kelsey after that, and that went really well. Kelsey is so cute and so smart. She is retaining everything we teach her. We are super excited about her.
Then we went to BYD, which is pretty much a fireside. We talked about the 2nd coming with the youth.
And to close the night off we had a lesson with Dakota.
This time Sister Lightsy wasn't there was we just had Dakota and the Lightsy&Freeman children.
Dakota is Jazmayne Lightsy's boyfriend and he is the investigator.
Mason and Ella Freeman are Jazmayne's half siblings. They are so awesome!
Ella is only 15 but she is so sure of herself. She knows that Heavenly Father loves her and she doesn't really care if anyone else loves her or not. She won't change herself to be loved by anyone other then Heavenly Father.
Mason is also so great. He is 14 and is probably taller than the entire Randall family! He wants to join the Marines just like Dakota, Dakota and Mason are Bros.
Anyway that was my week.
With love and rainbows and butterflies
Sister Jones.
ps was that good enough mom? ;) [I gave her a hard time about not signing off on her emails :)]
