"Yea, and that same God did establish his church among them; yea, and that same God hath called me by a holy calling, to preach the word unto this people and hath given me much success, in the which my joy is full." - Alma 29:13

Check out my beautiful new Scripture covers








So as you can tell I finally recieved my scripture cases!! I'm super excited!! And also that we had a family home evening with Irene. So that is very exciting. Very very exciting. And I have great news!! But I will get to that. Don't worry. But the book with the Temple and Captain Moroni is my Book of Mormon. And with Jesus Christ my Bible. So I'm very excited for those. But anyway so my exciting news. I am pretty sure that I told you about Fabiola and Nicolas. They just came from our Zone Leaders ward and they had a baptismal date for this saturday as well. Well they are still getting baptized. So we have 3 baptizms this saturday!! Not just one!!!!!!!! And also we were talking with her yesterday. Fabiola is the mom (41) and Nicolas is her son (13). She has 3 other kids but 2 don't want anything for now and Lucia is 1. So they are getting baptized and they told us yesterday that Elder Rojas is going to baptize Fabiola and I am going to baptize Nicolas! So that is also very exciting. We have been very excited and happy. So that is our exciting news for this week. We are super excited!!! But that is about it for this week. Sorry that those two details about my cases and the baptizms are about the only exciting thing. Haha kinda lame. But oh well.

So yes I am pretty sure that the next Monday we are going to go on a trip as a zone. I don't know where we are going yet but we are going to eat with the Zone Leaders and so I am going to ask today. I'm excited. The only thing is that if we go we have to pay with personal money for the trip. But whatever right ;) hahaha. So I'm excited for that also. We aren't doing anything today but we are just going to relax and I'm going to write some letters. Oh and by the way Scott and Kourt I did send you a letter last week. Sorry if you feel like I've been egnoring your letters but it was just from being lazy. I didn't write anybody back for a while and the letter explains it so just wait til you get it. But I did send it last week. But I don't have a clue if we will see penguins or not mom. Sorry haha. But yea so his name is Elder Crane. He played LaX and Rugby for Utah State. So he asked me what I was going to do after the mission and I said that I was thinking about going to Utah State so he told me that I should. But I honestly don't have a clue what I'm going to be doing. But he is awesome. I love him to death. He told me to come up and meet up with him. He is awesome.

So yes it's getting colder but not too cold yet. Another month and everybody thinks that I'm staying because Elder Rojas has more time here so I will be getting the worst of it I think. But we are sure yet. Anything is possible. So awesome to hear about all the missionaries. Send my love to Amos. He is a good kid. I hope everything is good with him. And Norm too. I'm glad that he got to see his brother before he leaves for 2 more years haha. So that's good. Sounds like you guys are busy with the garden, yard, and with the youth of the ward. I'm glad that everything is going well with you guys and that all is well. I hope that everything continues for you.

I love you guys tons. I'm doing great!! And having a good time. I'm loving the sector and enjoying Punta Arenas. I love being here. Pero esta vez yo voy a dar mi testimonio en español. Porque la última vez yo hice en ingles. Pero yo sé que la Iglesia es verdadera y a través José Smith la Iglesia fue restaurada. Tenemos un profeta en nuestras vidas para guiar y ayudar en todo que necesitamos hacer en nuestras vidas y la Iglesia. Yo sé que estoy en un lugar por revelacion y que somos de la Iglesia verdadera. Yo sé que el Libro de Mormón es verdadero y semejante a la Biblia. Los dos enseñen la verdad juntos. No solamente un libro. ¡¡Pero les quiero mucho!! Tengan una buena semana y nos escuchamos el proximo lunes.

Un abrazo

Elder Tyler Jolley

(a basic translation of his testimony: 
But this time I am going to give my testimony at Spanish. Because the last time I did in English. But I know that the Church is true and through Joseph Smith, the Church was restored. We have a Prophet in our lives to guide and help in everything that we need to do in our lives and the Church. I know that I am in a place by revelation and that we are the true Church. I know that the book of Mormon is true and similar to the Bible. The two teach the truth together. Not just a book. But I want to much!!! They have a good week and we hear next Monday.

A hug

Elder Tyler Jolley)
