Elder Tyler Jones week 29

Hello, sorry this letter is coming kind of late. We've been a little busy today. Elder Bishop is being transferred to Yerba Buena tomorrow. My new companion is going to be Elder Jackson. We served together previously when I was in the trio with him and elder smith.  So that's going to be pretty exciting.

Sounds like you guys had a pretty exciting week. I heard about Donald trump's inauguration.  I heard that the Mormon tabernacle choir sang for it but I didn't hear about all of the marches. That's all so crazy to think about. I got the subway gift cards. Thank you so much for those.

It's been a pretty good week. We're still always looking for more people to teach. The stake is really pushing for us to do more contacting. We already do a lot of contacting. So not much changed with that.

We visit a guy in a care facility here semi-frequently. His name is Tuni. He's about 28 years old and is paralyzed from the neck down. His family lives pretty far away so he doesn't get too many visitors. The facility is right around where most of our investigators are so we like to just drop in and talk to him. He's a really nice guy he had just gotten into a car accident about 6 years ago. He keeps a really positive attitude about it despite his situation. One of the members of the Spanish branch is a nurse at this facility. So that's how we found out about him.

I don't think I've ever told you about hna. Hernandez. We've been visiting this family for a long time and talking a lot with their less active sons. They actually came to church this Sunday. We were a little surprised but we were really glad about that. Hna Hernandez is super awesome. She's always sharing the gospel with people and she treats us like we're her children as well. They're a great family. 

Anyway, it's been a good week. It's going to be exciting with transfers.

I hope you have a great week!

Love,

Elder Jones
