Elder Tyler Maxwell Jones Week 10

That's crazy to think that Courtney's going to be married so soon. Tell Dan to start growing out his mustache for me. Also, tell Allie to stop being a goober and get to bed on time. I'm glad you enjoy your job. I got some envelopes and stamps so I'm sending dad a letter today.

So this week was awesome.

We were able to talk to Herick earlier in the week and he was committed to getting baptized. Later in the week we weren't able to get in contact with him. He wasn't at his apartment, he didn't answer his calls or messages. He didn't go to church this week as well. So that was disappointing. We're just going to give him a bit of time and come back.

Gwen, the lady that said "thank you Jesus" came to church yesterday. We had referred her to the English missionaries and seeing her in church was awesome. Veronica is progressing really well. Her and her wife were interested in the temple in a lesson we gave and got really excited about it. So we're in the process of organizing a temple trip for them. So we're excited about that. We met a man named Edibierto this week. He's awesome as well. We've been teaching him and he's been keeping commitments and such which is great. He wasn't able to come to church though.

We picked up some more awesome investigators this week. We had zone training meeting this week. That was nice, they had me play the piano for that. The sisters in our ward had a baptism and I had to play piano for that as well. There was also a district leader meeting this week. So during that I went on transfers into the English program. We got to ride bikes all day which was so much fun. It's so much easier to contact when you can just do it whenever you're on your way to your next appointment. Apparently they rarely have Spanish missionaries biking since we cover a much larger area. We got to contact some Latinos on the way as well. I was surprised that I was able to speak with them so well. I think it was a bit like taking of the training wheels. Without a companion that knows any Spanish its more important to really clearly understand everything they're saying.

There are transfers next week and everyone's freaking out about it because apparently they're expecting a lot to change in our zone. I'm kind of content where I'm at right now so I hope I stay but no one knows apparently.

Anyway, I'm having a great time and meeting a lot of awesome people.

 Love you guys,

Elder Jones
