Elder Tyler Jones week 60

I'm glad things are going well with you guys, and neat to hear about Mom's experience with the Burmese family.

We had a pretty good week. We taught a man that came to church and we were teaching him about the gospel of Jesus Christ. He came to church and felt good going there. As we were teaching him about baptism, before we invited him to do anything he said that baptism sounds really great and that he wants to do it. So he's preparing to get baptized on the 23rd. So that's pretty exciting.

Our ward mission leader didn't end up being able to come to church this week. At his work they told him to just finish cleaning the floor and then he could go to church. But then that apparently took forever and the other workers didn't know what they were doing so he had to do a bunch of things for them and so he wasn't able to leave work. He's sort of the ring leader for a couple of less active and part member families. So we didn't have as many people at church this week.

We're teaching a really cool family. They're a younger couple but they have two young kids. They're super cute. We ended teaching them pretty frequently. They had been investigating a while ago. The husband at one point was preparing to be baptized but his wife had some worries about he Book of Mormon and the church so they didn't follow through with it. But we've been teaching them and reading the Book of Mormon with them. They're reading on their own now as well! We had some members come with us to our lessons and it went super well. We asked the wife how she feels about the Book of Mormon now and she gave the sweetest testimony of the Book of Mormon and she's pretty excited to come to church. She's only able to come once a month because of her work schedule but we're really excited for them.

The branch here is awesome. The San Benito branch is like a cute little family and all of he members are just awesome. It was my companion's birthday this week and they had a little surprise party for him. So that was super awesome of them. So I'm really happy to be here in this branch.

I'm doing great!

I hope you guys have a great week!
