Elder Tyler Jones week 67


Hey Mom - that's so crazy that you hit a deer!  I'm glad everyone's alright and that there wasn't too much damage.  Sounds like you had some fun with the babies this week.  Sorry to hear that everything's been so crazy.

We had a good week,

We've still been working with the Ramirez family.  Two of them are members and the rest aren't.  This week the two members and two that weren't members ended up coming to church.  The family was planning on going to the temple visitor's center this weekend but weren't able because of work.  They still seem like they really want to go though. The two members in the family are Mayra and Agustyn.  They went inactive essentially right after their baptism but it's been awesome to get them back into church.  Them with all their kids and family take up like a third of the seats in sacrament meeting.  Agustyn got the Priesthood this week! We brought him to meet with president on Wednesday and he was ordained after church on Sunday. That was super awesome! 

We passed by a less active member of the branch this week that I haven't met before. His name is Frederico. He's probably in his late 60's and has some problems. He lives with his daughter. He sleeps on a cot in their kitchen. We went to visit him and he was super nice. Also, his daughter and his daughter's family was super nice to us. We shared a quick message with the family. The daughter ended up telling us that she felt like she needed God's help with some problems she's having with one of her sons.  So she asked us for the church address and wanted us to come back so that wen't really well.  They're an awesome family and we'll see what happens with them. 

I've got to go now. 

But it's been an awesome week!
