Denning, Jonathon

Whats up everyone! So if you saw my last email you are probably really confused of what happend and why I only sent that short email.  To tell the truth I wasn't done with the email and my mom thought I was and she sent it out. So this week I'll give you some more deatails. So the whole story begins with us having our exchanges with our ZLs and the day started of normal just knocking doors having lessons and such but around like 3:30 ish right before we were about to head to dinner me and Elder Filmore (the ZL i was with) went to this like extended stay hotel/apartment thing.  As we pull in we see this guy just sitting there so Elder Filmore rolls down the window and asks this guy if he wants to hear a message and he said "no thanks" but this guys was acting kinda weird and said "ill trade you a joint for your wheels".  We kinda laughed that off and said have a nice day and drove off and we pull into the parking lot of this place and we are doing some other ...

Hey everyone hope your week was good! And I hope someone didn't want to beat you up like someone wanted to do to me *From Mom: Well, this was all Jon wrote in his email, and after talking to him on Monday and he didn't mention this at all, you all now know as much about this story as I do!

Hey y'all hope you all had a good week!! This week we had this crazy story with this referal that we got. So there is this guy named Jacklin, we got a referral for him from our zone leaders and they said that he only speaks French. So we kinda just hucked it and pulled up to their house and we asked if we could share a message with him.  He said that he was busy and what not but that we could come back later (and bro definitely spoke English, not the bes,t but it was English)  Anyways, a few days later we pull up to their house again for the lesson we go inside, say what's up to a few people and there was this one guy who's name is Bedlay who was kinda giving us some funny vibes.  We didn't think anything of it and we sat down got to know Jacklin a bit and turns out he's from Haiti and has lived in Sioux Falls for like 3 months and his brother (Bedlay is his brother) kinda showed him the church.  We thought that was cool but we went through and taught him the restor...

Hows it going y'all I hope you all had a good week this week! This week was actually so baller!  Well really since like Friday cuz on Friday we had transfers and I finally am out of Atlantic Iowa, thank goodness.  I hated that place.  Now I am up in Sioux Falls, South Dakota in the Yankton Trails area and holy, it is such a change of pace from Atlantic. But it was so hype.  Literally on Friday evening we had 2 baptisms lined up and my new comp Elder Dunlop asked me if I wanted to baptize them so I said sure.  We start prepping for the baptisms and we get a call from the mom/grandma of the kids that we were baptizing and said that this girl that they had been teaching was 9 and wanted to be baptized so we just hucked her in to the program at the last minute.  Ended up getting three baptisms the very first day I was here in Sioux Falls so already I love this area so much more that Atlantic. That's really the craziest thing that happened this week.  We di...
