Elder Tyler Jones week 66

Sounds like you guys had a good week. 

We had a good week.

We've been try to get members to church a lot. It's hard for them because they work so much. But we're still trying to push them to come. A lot of people just stay for sacrament meeting and then head out. 

We had a couple of pretty cool experiences this week.

We've been working with one of the recent converts in the ward and he's been pretty fired up about missionary work. He's been inviting a lot of his friends to come to church and to meet with us and everything. So he's doing awesome. Last week we found a couple of his friends at his store. We talked to them for a bit and ended up teaching them the restoration. They seemed to really like it. But we came back this week and they said they really liked the restoration pamphlet that we had given them. They said it answered a lot of their questions. They said they read it like three times and that they had practically memorized it. So that was pretty cool.

We've been working with another part member family as well.  2 of them are members and 8 of them aren't. It's been hard to congregate them all together. But this week we had a lesson and a family home evening with the whole family. In the lesson we talked about the plan of salvation and it seemed like they really enjoyed it. When we came back for the family home evening we had a little game that they really enjoyed. They were all laughing and having a good time. Then we had a lesson about temples and eternal families. That went really really well. They said they'd love to prepare to go to the temple some day. They also committed to prepare to be baptized this November. We're really happy for them.

We had a bit of smog this week because of the fires in California. It was a little bit weird since it looked like fog but then it smelt bad as well.  It wasn't terrible though. We're far enough south that we didn't get it very bad at all.

Anyway, I'm doing well.

I hope you have a great week!
