40th email: March 15th, 2010

hehe...i told you i sent that blasted letter...maybe it WAS by barge, but whatever...glad it got there!  And will you get those pictures on the computer?  I want to delete them from my memory card.  Yeah that was probably Lena.  We started teaching her around Christmas, so if that's when you start seeing her...it's her...haha...I'm sending her a letter this week...that dang girl.  It's alright...she'll come around.
This city is really taking off...apparantly it was dead a few transfers ago, but some good things are happening!  Visiting Teaching is in it's begginning stages, investigators making baptismal dates (or close to them), and we're finding some great contacts lately that are genuinely interested.  It's so much easier to work when you see a little hope!  Look up the Dedication of Ukraine in 1991 by President Packer.  It's amazing.  He said, "Soon will come the day when spires of the temple will seen throughout the land"  and he also said, "We are a small group of missionaries and members, but it is just prescient to the hundreds of thousands of members that will be in Ukraine!"...something like that...i shouldn't have used quotes...meh...look it up...read it...it's amazing...they dedicated this country early early in the morning on top of this hill looking over kiev...i can imagine how beautiful of an experience that wouldn've been.  I'm speaking about this dedication on Sunday.  We need to remember that the Lord has blessed this land.  We have a promise that the church will be here forever...and be successful!
I don't know what else to say really.  We're working really hard.  Seeing success droplet at a time....
Alyona has a strong testimony about the Book of Mormon.  She was like, "I'm so grateful that through something as small as guitar lessons, I was able to find about about this church!"  She blows me away.  She's real about it.  Her testimony strengthens mine.  She talks about going on a mission one day and in lessons she basically teaches us!  We've just got to work with her family.  They're awesome, but probably just hesitant. 
Bundial! what the heck?  haha...good on him...send him my congrats if you ever see him.  I heard about kriles...oh man... I swear we're still little kids scared to ask someone to a school dance.  Those pics of roy are soooooooooooooooooo cute.  oh. my. goodness.  i can't wait to see him!  When's mothers day by the way? 
oh birthday...i don't even know.  I know i want a couple songs for the piano.  john schmidt "U2 meets pachebell" or something like that...waterfall...uhmm....i really don't know...i'll think and tell you next week.  love you all supperrr muchooo....stay strong and have a great tttt week!
 
Love Cectpa KJONES
