Elder Tyler Jones week 56

Sounds like things are going well in indiana. That's awesome that you guys got that car from Grandma. That's so cool that Allie will be driving around in it. That's so awesome that Dan's going to be giving his talk in sacrament next week! I'm sure he will do a great job! Hopefully the babies aren't too crazy this year. I suppose you'll get this letter after your first day of work So you probably already know a bit about how crazy they are.

We've had a great week! 

Javier came to church again! So we're super excited about that. He's still in line to get baptized on the 19th. This has been his second time coming to church and he's really been enjoying it. He's already read a lot of the Book of Mormon. He's been getting to know a lot of people around church which has been awesome. He has a broken foot so he can't really do much all day so its generally really easy to find him at his house. We've been getting members to go over and see him so that he knows some more people in the ward. We usually only go over in the morning or mid day though. The people he lives with like to drink a lot and are aggressively catholic. But Javier doesn't drink or anything like that. He committed to live the word of wisdom this week. He didn't have any big problem but he's still committed. So that's been super awesome. Hno. Clemente has come with us a couple times for lessons and he's been really awesome. Hno. Clemente has always been an awesome person to bring to lessons. It's hard for anyone to not like Hno. Clemente. 

Also, the Clementes are planning on getting sealed in a few weeks. They've already gotten their endowments and their trying to set a date to be sealed in the temple. So we're super excited for them. 

Also, We found a member that's just been looking for where the church is. They were active before they moved to the area. But they moved here and couldn't find the church building so they hadn't gone. But we contacted into her in the street and she told us that she's a member. Then they came to church the next day. So that was cool.

We contacted a guy on the street this week and he pointed us towards a house and told us to go and knock on the door. He essentially said "My wife is never going to believe this". But he told us to say that he sent us. So we got to the house and knocked on the door and it turns out she's an inactive member. Her husband and kids aren't members. She was so surprised because she's moved a lot and every time she moves the missionaries somehow manage to find her really quick. But we talked to them for a little bit. They don't live in that house, they live outside of our area and were just visiting family. But they were all pretty excited about the gospel and going to church. She took at as a sign that she really aught to be going to church. So she'll be trying to bring her family along with her to church in El Camino ward just south of us. They had a little girl who went to primary as a little girl. She's ten now but she was super super excited when we talked about primary because she remembered how much she loved going to primary. So that was an awesome experience.

We went to play mini golf today. There's a place where missionaries can go to play mini golf for free because the owner is a member. We noticed that their's a big discount for families that go play mini golf there on Monday evenings as well. But it was a fun thing to do and we had a good time. 

Anyway, I've been doing well


I hope you have a great Week!
