Sister Meredith Claire Jones

  Some of you may know I returned home from my mission yesterday. This was not an easy decision, in fact it was the last thing I wanted to do, but in order for me to be the best possible missionary I can be it had to happen. I will be home for the next little bit but fully plan on returning to Salt Lake. These last 7 weeks as a missionary were the best weeks of my life. I grew a love for Salt Lake and the amazing 150 sisters I got to serve with but most importantly I grew an even greater love for my Savior.  I know that Jesus Christ is my Savior and Redeemer, he loves us so perfectly that he suffered and died for each one of us in Gethsemane and on the cross. He is always cheering us on and wants us to succeed. It makes me so sad to no longer be wearing Christ's name everyday but I know God has a plan for me that is significantly greater than my own plan. I can’t wait to get back out there but in the mean time thank you for all the support and love <3 meredith jones

We've had some amazing online teaching miracles this week. Last Sunday we found someone and sent her to her local missionaries. She has already read until mosiah and has a baptism date for next month. We also have a friend that Sister MacKillop has been teaching for a while. This week he stopped smoking and fasted with us on Sunday, he is super excited to learn more and hopefully be put on bap date in the next couple of weeks! We are super excited to see their progress so keep Cindy and Robert in your prayers!  Sometimes living in Salt Lake is interesting... There was a dude that showed up in the assembly hall with only socks and a thing around his waist on. Luckily the sisters pulled the panic pull so security came and threw a blanket on him. Apparently he was at crown burger a little bit before with only the socks on so we got lucky... They also had to do a bomb sweep of the mission home because somehow a backpack got in there that wasn't any of ours. Luckily nothing actually...
