Some Missionary Doings in May


I (Sister Jones) love to put pictures in order in a scrap book.  But trying to do that on a blog is different.   The pictures don't go on in the order I tell them to.  So these are mixed up.  I wonder where these words will be when I push "enter...."  
Well the picture on top is at the paint ball house deep in the jungle on a dark night.  We are  teaching (l-r) Roly and Belle with Jie Jie Garrett - Jie Jie is the member who's husband died a few months ago.  We spent a lot of time with her then and now we enjoy her teaching with us as she translates the lessons into Tagalog. 
Next is Elders Mafi, Lapeyrouse and Roco relaxing for a few minutes after a District Meeting at the Church.  All of the Elders play the Uke and once in a whle they teach me a little.   I in turn teach a little piano while we are waiting for the meeting to start.  That is Elder Roco trying to find the right notes with  Elder L. watching.  Every time we walk into this room it seems someone wants a piano lesson!
At that same District Meeting we had "role playing."  Sister Piukula is trying to convince her investigator to come to church.  A few pictures down, Elder Mafi joins in because this investigator is pretty tough :-)
The next picture is the missionaries at our new apartment after carrying all our stuff up 3 flights of stairs.  The pizza is in the oven!
This next picture makes Sister Tuileto'a and I laugh now, but it wasn't very funny at the time.  Elder Jones had to drive the car wheels over the chain of this dog because he once bit Elder Jones - teeth marks in his pants - and he also bit Sister Ika's skirt when she was still here. 
Elder Cook is such a good teacher!  First in District Meeting and then in Gospel Principles class for investigators and missionaries. 
The last picture is Sister Jones with the Primary Board at Stake Training.  I am on call to help in the Primary.  l-r:  Amy Sario, Lou Valenzuela, Jie Jie, Bernie Fejeren, me, Diane Esplin, Lillian Tamayo, Sister Moran from the Stake - she came over from Guam - Frennie Fransico and Janell Robinson.
