Welcome to the Idaho Pocetello Mission!

A lot is going on. First, I have the new address and it is:

Elder Jonathon David Felton
Idaho Pocatello Mission
1246 Yellowstone Ste. F-3
Pocatello ID, 83201

This will be how you can now get mail to me in the new mission. The other thing is starting next week P-day will be on Monday. So emails will start coming on Monday. We met the new mission president and he is really nice. His name is President Brinkerhoff. His wife is really nice as well. It is going to be different having to change to a new mission and doing things the way that they do up here. I am looking forward to seeing what new info they will have to give us.

Tabernacle guilds are going great we had 4 people from China come by, 2 from Germany and several other places including Utah and Idaho. When grandpa set me apart to be an elder and get the Melkezedic Priesthood I remember him saying how I will teach many nations. This is happening now, and it gives me comfort that the Lord really knows what we are capable of doing. I am so happy to serve in Paris and hope that I can stay for a while here. I know if the Lord has other plans I will go where He wants me to go. I am SO HAPPY to have served in the Ogden mission and am happy for the chance to serve in the Pocatello mission.

I love you so much! I hope all is well.
Much love Elder Felton

Feeling at Home in Paris

Things have been going really good. We have started speaking in wards and meeting the members. We have been told about some families that people want us to go meet and teach so our days are becoming a little more full. This is great because now we aren't going crazy trying to stay busy. Elder Curtis has been great. He has been a huge help in starting the area up. Even though he has only been out a couple of months he is an amazing missionary. The Paris stake is really beautiful.  I love this place but I have a feeling that I wont be staying here too long. I am still working on getting the new mission address. I hope to know very soon. I love my new shirt. Thank you so much. You are super awesome. I hope all is well. 
Love Elder Felton

Slower Pace

Thank you for the pics of the house and the new place. I am super excited to see it in person. I will miss the old one but I will ALWAYS remember the times spent there. Memory is the key.So things are slow in our area. This is a fact I am slowly coming to terms with. I am definitely not on Ogden anymore lol. I Love the Paris ID stake. The members are so great. They have been a big help. We are currently working on just building trust with them. We have realized that most of if, not all will have to come through the members. The view we have of our apartment is amazing. I am going to be sending pics here soon. Other then that not to much is happening. I am sorry I don't have much to say other than we knock on a lot of doors and then no one is at home.I love you so very much. I hope all is well.LOVE!Elder Jonathon David Felton

Elder Felton is in PARIS... Paris Idaho That Is!

Mail should for now should still be sent to the Ogden mission. A week before July people should stop sending mail to the Ogden mission. By that time I should know what the address is for the new mission. Things in Paris are nice. We are actually living in a place called St Charles  We are really close to Bear Lake and we have an amazing view of it from our apartment. We are currently just trying to get to know the people and get to know the area. We will also soon be working as Tabernacle Guides in Paris. My new companion is Elder Curtis. He is great. It is easy to get  along with him and I'm glad to be able to get to serve with him. He has only been out for 3 months.  Other than that I'm not sure what to tell you. Its kinda different starting up an area for the first time.
I love you so much,
Elder Jonathon David Felton

Transfers and a New Mission!

Things are going to get a little crazy here to in a bit. I am going to be in the Pocatello, Idaho mission!! I will be moving from Soda Springs to Paris, Idaho. I hate that I am going to have to pack even though I'm not there lol. Recently we have had a couple of baptisms I am excited to see what is going to happen this transfer. Oh I am also no longer a District Leader. They have me just as a regular missionary again. That is a lot of stress off my shoulders lol. Other than that, not too much is going on here. I will be packing tonight to get ready for tomorrow.

I love you soooooooo much. And thanks for the clip from the talk. I had been thinking the same way this whole week!

Much love Elder Felton

Two Years to Baptisim

Things have been going really well. We recently had a baptism. It was kinda funny because the lady had been going to church for 2 years and people thought she was a member already. So she wanted to keep her baptism a secret. but I think she ended up telling more people then than anyone else. Things have been going well. I have one more week till transfers but I think I will be going back to Utah. This is both good and bad. I will not be able to visit the people that are here afterwards. We are currently working on getting things ready for the baptism that we are having this weekend. Work is increasing but it is still a little slower then I am use to. I am at a loss as to what to write lol. It seems we don't often do many big things. Mostly we visit members to see if there is anyone we can teach or knock on doors. Whoo hoo lol. I hope things go well for you. I am excited to see what the new place looks like it will be fun to come home to a new place. 


Oh by the way. I LOVE YOU SOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH! Kirby hug <(^.^)>

Mother's Day Visit Followup

Things have been going really well. Today I am going to play soccer with some other missionaries so that will be fun. Like I told you not much would happen from Sunday to today, but I really enjoyed talking with you. I was so excited to realize that I will only have to call one more time. Serving a mission has been the best thing that I could have ever done. I love you so much and hate that I don't have anything to talk about so I will send that letter that I was supposed to send  a while ago. I love you so much and hope all is well.

Love Elder Jonathon David Felton
