Elder Jonas Gridley's mission

  Wow oh wow We had 2 exchanges this week and dang they were pretty great! The first one was with Elder Lafleur he came out 6 weeks after me. We had a good time together not too much happened Elder Lafleur on the exchange it was fun to go around with him though we used their car which was great.  The next exchange was with Elder Davenport and that was really nice to do. I got to hear his story of why he came out he's had a more difficult time but knows this is where he is supposed to be. Elder Viehweg and Wade wanted to go to their area but I felt we were supposed to stay. Well, we saw why we had a great day meeting lots of wonderful people and meet 2 of the best people I've ever found. So we meet Ty and Gab they asked a lot of great questions we taught about how God called another prophet how we believe in the book of Mormon and how the Bible isn't perfect it's written by prophets but they can make mistakes.

  Okay well, let me go over the favorite parts of my week. On new years eve, we went out tracting (nothing new). Well, when we went knocking a guy was getting out of his car and was about to head inside and we were just like hey man we are going around talking about Jesus Christ visiting the Americas got a minute to talk? Guy says no heads inside. We keep going after like 3 minutes we are walking down back toward his house he comes out trying to put his shoes on saying I've got time I'm bored teach me about Jesus in America. He is agnostic and we talk for about 5-10 minutes he said he would read the book of Mormon. Super cool that he came back and we had a really good conversation and he was willing to listen and wants to learn more it was awesome. Almost right after this we taught another guy got his number and taught pretty simply about the book of Mormon. It was awesome.  We have almost completed Blanche's after baptismal commitments so that's been good. I'm stil
