"Oh What Fun, Three Will Be"

Dear One and All,

     Oh my lanta where do I even begin?

      Well I'm in a trio and it is the most fun than I have had since forever. This has probably been the best week and most needed one!

      Sister Peterson is a fireball and loves to laugh and Sister Glad is the sweetest and kindest and most intelligent new missionary there ever was :)

     We took selfies galore and had fun getting Sister Glad into the thick of things ;)


      The first day together was a doozy but goody. We biked ALL DAY LONG and I think that both of the sisters were about to hurt me, haha but they are getting used to it now! but how much I truly love bike areas!

      So bike issues are a for real troublesome issue and it was Sister Petersons day! Apparently the rotten kiss in our apartment complex had kicked the little gear changing do-bobber and bent it and so the chain wouldn't change properLy and so her peddles started going ten times faster than she was used to. So Sister Hale picked our stranded butts up and we crammed three bikes into her mini van and went over to the bike store (mind you I haven't had to go at all in the last five months!) Then it was mine and Sister Glad's turn to be embarrassed haha.  Sister Glad had issues with her boots that we're giving her horrible blisters (sound familiar?) so we went home changed and grabbed our bikes and went onward. Then we stopped to look for a potential and Sister Glad moans "I just ripped my nylons" Bahahahaha! It was great!

      Then I pulled my iPad and a beautiful feminine item came flying right out to the ground with it. We were parked on the corner of a really busy corner- peachy. However we busted out laughing even harder that before.

      Every single appointment fell through this week except a couple so we were pretty much contacting and Tracking it on true shows Sister Peterson and I getting uncomfortable and actually yelling at a woman who I had no clue who she was, first asking for the weather report she had heard about and then contacting her. She wasn't interested but we made really good friends with her.  I think Sister Glad thinks we are freaks because Sister Peterson and I
have been slightly crazy this week but we have enjoyed every minute of this companionship! 

Role playing to sister star keys lovely picture! YES. :) so cute! ;)

      I'm so grateful that I could spend my last two weeks with these beautiful sisters- kinda jealous of Sister Glad's new adventure but hey we all have to start somewhere right?!

      Anyway we watched the woman's broadcast on Saturday night and it was great! I loved the fact that we are asked to do even more service and holy crow I'm not giving that up ever! I believe wholeheartedly in serving God's children, so I was grateful to hear about the refugees.


      Well I love you all, there was so much this week I didn't even cover but they are better tales to tell later :) Keep on loving the Lord and doing His will!

Love, 

Sister Katelyn Jones

Training a trainer who is training a trainee

Dear One and All,

     So the verdict is I stay for my last three weeks here in bluegrass west! :D and we are going to be in a trio! :D A Sister Peterson is coming and she will training. Haha hint the title of my email:)

      Well not much to report other than it was non- trunky week for Sister Ferrell haha she goes home tomorrow and yet is probably one of the least trunkiest missionaries in the world haha. We both got new pants from a member who was unable to wear them so we tried them on and took a picture! Weird! No tent-skirt on!

     Went to a Chinese restaurant and had a few fortunes: one about the Atonement and the other about faith>>take your guess which one it is!

     The Spirit was so strong and I saw so many members from the Richmond ward and hugged them and oh man it's been a great week!

     That's all for now! Love you all and I hope your week goes by well in preparation for the Easter weekend!
Love, Sister Jones

The HOT Brown in the Springtime!

Hello family and friends!

      This week doesn't have much to report but we have been working hard and found several new investigators to teach. And we had three
investigators at church!:D yay! Haha I think they were slightly freaked out though. This because they talked about temples and also walked in late (us missionaries not even knowing that they showed up)
and so they must have been confused the entire time. 

     Haha left early but oh well, more of an opportunity to explain later!

Spring is here! Yay! So I took pictures of sister Ferrell :)

      We have a woman we are teaching that I have only mentioned a few times but we taught her the word of wisdom this week and it went well, however the hard thing is EVERYONE drinks around-- that will be our goal is getting her away from the drink! Anyway, she had two strokes a while back that affected her physical ability, so her house has been terrible. We offered to come and clean it. Sister Heilig came :) and oh man....just in three and a half hours, we only got to her living room and dining room. Some of the grossest things I saw on my mission but I held my breath and endured haha :) finally we got done and Ellie was so grateful! Coolest experience ever! 

So here is The Hot Brown: the wares ( a part member less active family) invited us to come for dinner to cook us something "Kentucky" that we haven't eaten yet ;)

     It's: a slice of bread, slices of sandwich turkey and ham, white gravy, bacon, tomato and melted cheese on top from the oven heat ☺️ oh my it was quite delicious it doesn't seem so but it was a delight!


      So sister Ferrell goes home next week -_- I love HER SO MUCH. I'm gonna miss her a lot! I'm not really sure how this is gonna work because I leave two weeks after that and then something has to happen to our area. 

     Either it will be whitewashed(replaced with elders) or I will be in a trio! What!? That'd be kind of fun, and weird :)

      I learned a lot this week about the importance of looking up to God ❤️ and finding peace through Christ. I'm still figuring it out but I definitely believe that even the most simple prayers and cries given to God and the promise to try, brings so much relief. How can we deny there being a Loving Heavenly Father? He wants so much happiness for us and provides the means for it to work out. I hope to continue to live and believe that even after my mission :)

I love you all stay dry from the rain and happy!

Love, Sister Jones

A paranormal, goals and rain :)

Hey ya'll!

I love the south, totally My home!  We had a pretty awesome week!

member present lesson with return missionary, Brenda heilig! Woot woot!

We got 5 member present lessons! What?!? Normally that has been one of the hardest parts of our missions but members were available!

#skillslearnedfromsistareed! Yay gumbo!

     Last week we were told by our leaders to talk with everyone and we had been slacking and only had about 31 talk sighs once we got to Thursday and everyone in our zone were hitting the hundreds....I felt terrible and our district leader was persistent that we reach an even higher goal. So we chose 95 people for the end of the week! That meant we talk to A WHOLE LOT of people in three days -_- oh boy. . . But! We talked to 83 people ending on Sunday evening yay! Now we are goaling for 100.

      It was just crazy to talk to so many people and we had incredible lessons set up! We had time one night after dinner we were wondering where to go to get another lesson and help someone. And on a certain corner after we prayed and walked a house stuck out to me. We knocked and a very chipper woman answer! She was so nice! We offered to say a
prayer with her and she invited us straight. We asked what to pray for and she said that she had ghosts in the house that had been there for fifteen years! WHAT. 😫. I was freaked but felt if I prayed in the
process of helping her it would help me. We prayed and said amen and she said that she felt SO much better. She said she has had priests with holy water from at least every church in her house and paranormal people come but it hasn't change. I gave her a copy of the Book of Mormon and to,d her to read 3 nephi 11 ( TAKE THAT SATAN!) :) and she
invited us to come back and wanted someone to come bless her house!

what our getup looked like, YES.

  Well I'm not sure about that one but we will definitely be teaching her. I'm slightly creeped but oh well. :)

     Then we knocked on the door of a man and talked with him for a while and it was pouring and I asked if he had a grocery bag for our seats and he said "I have something better" and walked to his side porch
and gave us plastic rain coats! Bahahahaha so we biked with plastic coats, regular huge jackets, helmets and skirts! ROCK ON. :)

Well that's it, not much exciting other than spring is coming 😅👗no more winter clothing! Yay!

Well I love you all so very much, and I pray for your well being and daily success! 
 Keeping trucking and loving the Lord!

Love, 
Sister Jones
