Elder Tyler Jones Week 39

That's awesome to hear about dads Job! I'm glad you guys are doing well and having a good spring break. Sounds like things are going well in Indiana.

It's been a pretty good week. Most of our investigators are the
husbands of members. So we've been working a lot with that.

Douglas is perfect, he agrees with everything in the gospel. He wants to get baptized and all that. We're just trying to get him married. He wants to get married. His girlfriend is an active member. We just need to work that all out with the bishop. So we're trying to get him in to see the bishop. Hopefully all goes well with that.

We have another investigator named Virgilio, we met him when he called to us on the street from his cab. His wife is a member and he's taken the lessons before in El Salvador. His wife's records aren't in the ward yet. They moved from El Salvador but never came to church here.
They've got a 6 year old son as well. We're still working on trying to get them to come to church.

David is the husband of an active member in the ward. He wants to get baptized he just needs to overcome some word of wisdom problems so we're working with him on that.

A lady asked us to come visit her and her family some day this week at church. She and her husband come to church every week. We came to visit them and we just talked for a bit. Their kids have been sealed in the temple and they have a few grandkids. They have one grandkid that lives with him who's about 11 months old named Santiago. He's the utest baby ever. Apparently the husband isn't a member though. He comes to church every week, we don't fully know why he hasn't gotten baptized yet but his wife really really wants him to get baptized so they can be sealed.

We've gone over a few times. He works in landscaping so he has a
beautiful garden he likes to show us and he's from El Salvador so he wants to teach us how to make good pupusas. He seems like he's
starting to like us more and more and he's been interacting more and more when we teach so I'm hopeful with all that.

Our last P day one of the Tongan members took us and the Tongan elders downhill mountain biking. They were some pretty big hills and it was a lot of fun. He works  at a bike shop so he let us borrow some really nice bikes to do it. Each bike was worth about $2,000. So it was rough terrain but it felt smooth going down. So we could get going pretty fast.

We also had dinner with the Bojórquez family this week. Whenever they have missionaries over they have them eat habaneros and take a video of it. They started keeping a record of how many habernos the missionaries ate and the record for most habaneros eaten at a time was 10. I wanted to beat the record so I ate 13. I think the Bojórquez family was impressed so that was good. It just felt awful in my stomach for the next day or so. So I'm not sure it was worth it. But that's alright.

General Conference was awesome. I really liked Elder Oaks' talk. But I thought it was all really awesome. Our building is the stake center so we were having it shown there.  They were showing conference in 3 different rooms at the stake center. One room was English, one was Spanish and one was Tongan. The Tongans made everyone lunch in between the Sunday sessions. So that was really nice of them.

It's been a great week, I hope you have a great spring break!
