Elder Tyler Jones week 55

I'm glad you guys have been doing well in Indiana. Sounds like things have been interesting and I'm glad that you guys got to make the trip to Odon this week. That's pretty cool that you guys got a new car this week. I hope it works out well.

It's been a good week this week. Javier came to church this week. He had a broken foot and is going to be in a cast for the next couple months. He's really been enjoying having our lessons and he's been reading a lot of the Book of Mormon. He's already read all of first Nephi and keeps going on. It seemed like he really enjoyed church. We talked to him about baptism and he's willing to, so we're super excited for that.

This week we found a guy who was pretty interested in the gospel. He doesn't speak Spanish but we just started to teach him so we could refer him to the English elders. When we went over he had 2 other friends with him. They were all pretty intoxicated and the apartment smelt rather potent and was pretty messy. One of them was eating cat food. So we talked to them for a little bit and then left. They invited us back for dinner the next day as we were leaving. We thought that there was little chance that they were actually going to have us for dinner but we thought we aught to jus come back anyway. So we went back the next day and it was super weird. The entire apartment was cleaned up. They were all really well dressed with collared shirts and their shirts tucked in. They prepared a really nice dinner, set the table really nice and we had a good dinner with them. We talked about the gospel and all 3 really enjoyed it. We're going back next week with the English elders to hand them off. 

We also had a pastor trying to convince us that repentance wasn't necessary. We stopped to talk to him for a while but then even after he followed us to the car to try to keep talking to us about how we don't need repentance. He was an interesting guy. He wasn't really like offensive, he was really nice he was just sincerely trying to convince us why we're only saved by faith and that there's no need to repent. That went well into the night and we got home late because of it but it was a kind of fun experience.

Anyway, it's been an interesting week. I hope you have a great week!
