Hello,
Glad to hear you guys are doing well in Indiana, they're working on fixing the mailbox, it should be done soon. That's awesome that you guys had a gourd sale. Sounds like a lot of fun. We're getting fed plenty, you don't have to worry about that. Spanish is coming along well. I can basically express what I need to say. It's not by any means perfect yet but I've figured that it's better to just go at it with false confidence, pretending like you know it really well and people are more likely to listen to you.
So this was a crazy week. We got a call Tuesday that we were going to go pick up a new companion on Wednesday. So we're a trio now. His name is Elder Jackson. He's pretty awesome. We had to move in a bed and desk for him on Tuesday as well. It's kind of awesome since there's another trio in our zone we often go on splits turning 2 trios into 3 companionships so that we can get to more lessons.
Nathan came to church again. He stayed for all 3 hours which was awesome. We had 3 investigators in church this week which was awesome. They seemed to really like it. We got a bunch of new investigators this week again. It seems to work better if you're just bringing in a lot of people. A lot will drop off, but then you always get a few that will stay and progress.
One of our investigators, Dario, is doing well. He used to be praying to this Santa Muerte statue. He had a necklace and bracelet with La Santa Muerte on them as well. He started reading the Book of Mormon this week though and he took off his necklace and bracelets and gave away his statue. So he's doing well.
Oh there's apparently been some big problem with homeless people breaking into the church building that the ward council was trying to deal with. They always ask us to make sure they leave after church and make sure they didn't unlock any Windows. A stake counselor came to tell us about a rule that sisters shouldn't go into the church buildings without a Melchizedek priesthood holder there as well. Apparently they've found people sleeping in the church like 7 times. The sister missionaries weren't very happy about that. They argued with him for like half an hour.
We were talking to the Elders in the English ward and apparently during testimony meeting one of the guys that always breaks into the church got up and apologized to everyone for "vandalizing the church" and "leaving his needles everywhere". So that was interesting.
Anyway, that was alright. It's been a good week nonetheless. I'm having a great time.
Love you guys,
Elder Jones
