a4c79dda-43bb-45b7-b631-9ff625c053bf Elder Caiden Jones Back to Missionary Letters #96 Anotha one Guys I PROMISE I'm going to get better at writing these. That doesn't start today, but let's get into it!! Google Photos: https://photos.app.goo.gl/SPHBKzMm2s5zEyUQ8 Email: caiden.jones@missionary.org ————————————————————————— Mission Address Letters (in Mission) PO Box 97 Marden SA 5070 Australia Packages (in Mission) 11 Sommers Avenue Firle SA 5070 Australia ————————————————————————— This week was a lot of the normal missionary stuff, but there were a lot of services. It was a good week! Last Monday we said goodbye to Sister Lekias, because she got her Visa and is now serving in the greatest country in the world!! We had dinner at President's house and it was pretty fun. The food was so good and we got to take leftovers home thank GOODNESS. Man I love free food. We also had interviews this week, but sadly no insight into my last transfer. I might die in Fulham Gardens... yay Anyways Elder Mulyono is the GOAT and we've been smashing the work. Things are going good out here. This week we have Elder Jaggi of the 70 touring our mission and we have a meeting with him EVERY DAY from Monday (today) to Thursday. Crazy. Today, something that was mentioned was making sure we are a funnel for revelation instead of an umbrella. Make sure you are SEEKING revelation and INVITING it into your heart and mind. You won't get answers to your questions without study and pondering. It takes action! D&C 88:118 118 And as all have not faith, seek ye diligently and teach one another words of wisdom; yea, seek ye out of the best books words of wisdom; seek learning, even by study and also by faith. I love you all and 'till next time! - Elder Jones Previous Letter Next Letter

9d030e3e-b392-43c8-96fa-6e07463b21e5 Elder Drake Wakefield Back to Missionary Letters Listen, Listen This coincides (just like everything about the gospel) with last weeks. We cannot obey what we dont understand, and we cannot understand if we don't listen. So if we don't listen to the spirit, how can we obey? Likewise, if we don't listen to our friends, our companions, our leaders, etc, how can we know how to help them or become better servants to them? Like always, Jesus is the prime example. Luke 24:17 What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad? He then listens to their worries and responds according to their needs. John 11- We see Jesus listen to Mary and Martha's troubles and sorrows even though he knows the solution to their problems. John 4- we see Jesus listen to the woman at the well, gently guiding her to hear the wonderous word that Her Savior is come. Added expounation from Elder Bednar: "Preaching the gospel the Lord’s way includes observing and listening and discerning as prerequisites to talking. The sequence of these four interrelated processes is significant. Please note that active observing and listening precede discerning and that observing, listening, and discerning come before speaking. Employing this pattern enables missionaries to identify and teach to the needs of investigators." And ultimately that is what I've been trying to grow into, the principle of listening to discern. I promise this process brings miracles into our lives. Here are some experiences I've had as I've tried to do so. Here there is a friend who has learned for many years and just hasn't been baptized yet. Lovingly but boldly baptism has been pushed for at least the past while, and even though the spirit was present he has yet to accept. We decided instead of guessing what he needed to just ask him. As we asked inspired questions and as we listened his needs slowly unfolded and we now have a path to walk on instead of blinding hacking and hoping to find one. I've had multiple occasions and opportunities as a companion and with other missionary assignments to help missionaries that needed some help. I promise as I listened the spirit gave me what I needed to say according to their needs. Without sharing too many details, there was a time where me and an Elder during a comp study were having not a warm discussion but one where we were trying to overcome some things. As I listened to his feelings I felt we should read our mission call openings. This line at the end brought tears of the spirit: Greater blessings and more joy than you have yet experienced await you as you humbly and prayerfully serve the Lord in this labor of love among His children. I testify from these experiences as we first listen, God will guide us in all aspects of our lives. All we need to do is be willing enough to listen (and going back to last weeks) be obedient to what is given, miracles will flow. In the name of Jesus Christ amen. Other Miracles: Pak Tomy and Ibu Ester have a baptismal date🥳🥳Pak Tomy has suffered a stroke and his on the way up! His desire to be baptized is amazing and we're gonna keep working with him and his wife! We contine to find friends as we listen to the spirit. Elder Munsons spiritual guidance is insane, his U-turns bring me great joy. Our new member Richie was able to go do baptisms for the dead at the temple, which is a huge deal here as the nearest temple is a plane ride away in Tailand. PHOTO- Pak Jum, who God has put in our path multiple times and is excited to learn! Previous Letter Next Letter
