Elder Tyler Jones week 27

Hello,

I'm glad things are going well in Indiana. Its good to hear all the babies are behaving. Good to hear Allie is doing well with driving. I still remember getting sandwiches with Dan at Subway.  When I go to Subway now, I just get the vegetarian sandwich anyway since it's the cheapest and then ask them to put everything on it since the toppings don't cost extra. So I think we'll still be able to share. 

It's been an exciting week. We had a lesson with Silvia again. We brought one of the members of the branch with us. That was awesome. They related really well and she did an awesome job in helping with the lesson. So we were pretty excited about that. 

We got to go to the Oakland temple this week. That was awesome, the Oakland temple is really beautiful. The Oakland temple is also pretty big which was cool to see. There's also a beautiful view of the bay from the temple grounds as well.

Earlier this week we got a call from the Tongan elders at about 9:00 pm that one of them was in the emergency room. We were the closest to the hospital, so we went over there and stayed there with them until about midnight. Apparently one of them had a problem with his lungs and couldn't breathe.  When he got out he told us that he had to get back home in 30 minutes.  So we got him back in their car and drove him back to their apartment. He was getting progressively loopier.  He was entirely knocked out as we were getting him from the car to their apartment. So we had to carry him in and into his bed.  He plays football and has apparently been recruited by a bunch of schools.  So he's over 6 feet tall and almost 300 pounds.  Moving him in was a bit challenging.  It was alright though.  He's doing fine now, he's up and walking about.

We had another interesting experience a couple days ago. We were at a dinner/correlation meeting at our ward mission leader's house with the Spanish sisters in our district and as we were leaving one of the sisters got kind of dizzy and dropped down on the floor. Then after about a minute she passed out. She was going in and out of consciousness for about a half an hour. She also had this sharp pain in her chest. We ended up having to move her from their house to our ward mission leaders car and they drove her to the Emergency room. She's gotten better now. They just don't know what it was. So I don't know what's going on with that.

Other than that it's been a pretty good week. We've had a good time, we're still looking for people to teach. The sisters have a baptism tomorrow which is exciting.

I hope you have a great week,

Love,

Elder Jones
