Week 1 & 2

Hey everyone! I'm going to give a brief summary of the first week and a full summary of the second week. Double decker haha.


Week 1
Well home MTC was great. I loved how you got to kind of ease your way into missionary life. The content was great, but the zoom calls were long haha. I took advantage of every opportunity I had to get outside. I felt like a vampire stepping outside for the first time, and you would have thought I was one by the way I acted when I finally got in the sun. But overall home MTC was great. 


Week 2 
I finally got to the Provo MTC and there is a lot to get used to. The first couple of days felt like weeks but I'm finally getting acclimated and the days are flying. It is like a spiritual prison haha but it's been great. The spirit is so strong throughout the campus. The classes and devotionals are amazing and I am learning so much! I also was called to be a district leader so that's fun! That pretty much means that I lead our district discussions and be kind to our district, which is pretty easy because my district and companion are pretty awesome. I have converted my entire district to hacky sack. We play all the time and when we have breaks in class we play with our teachers. We have also played basketball and volleyball every day which is awesome! In person MTC isn't like any thing I have ever done before and I'm loving it! One week down at Provo and one week to go until Newport! I can't wait! Hope everyone is doing good!


Until next week, Elder Workman over and out!

We're Gonna Need A Bigger Pole

Hey everyone! This week went by quick. Some cool things happened this week where 80 marines showed up to church yesterday and it was such a cool experience to be able to teach so many of them. We also put our friend Francisco, whose a marine, on date for baptism for December 9th. Our friend Isaiah is still solid and is getting baptized this Saturday. He shared with me that sometimes he doesn't want to come to church but he goes anyways, and he feels this peace that he has never felt before and he said that he knows that this church is true.  We usually do our calls and text on the San Clemente Pier, because it right by our apartment, and there are a lot of people fishing off the pier. So one night we were at the pier doing some phone calls and all of a sudden there's this teenaged kid running up and down the pier being drug by his pole. He was screaming for help from the lobster people. He was yelling "Lobster people, help! I've got a huge lobster!" The pole kept ...

Hey everyone! Hope your week was good! This week was crazy for me. We took our recent convert Rick to the hospital because he has an infection in his arm and it blew up like a balloon. His arm looked like the Pillsbury dough boy. Also, we found some really cool people who have been able to find out the Book of Mormon is true by themselves! Also yesterday an old friend that hasn't met with the missionaries in a little bit, met with us yesterday and said that she wants to get baptized! Her name is Sherry and her date is October 21st. Overall good week. This week I went on an exchange into a bike area. It is actually pretty fun being on bikes because it's good to get your blood pumping. I also learned how to ride with no hands during the exchange. But we were riding along the street and I stopped to talk to these people and I stepped off my bike pedal to stable myself. What I quickly found out that it was a 6 inch drop off into some bushes. I have started to develope a habit of sa...

Hey everyone! Hope your week was great. This week was a blur for me. Halloween came and went pretty fast and now it has already almost been a week. This week we had a halloween party for the YSA ward, we had MLC the day after, and went on an exchange with some Elders that are on bikes but the members gave them Ebikes, so overall pretty good week. Like I said, we had a Halloween party with the YSA ward. We weren't going to dress up, but the Sisters also serving in the ward said that everyone was dressing up and you need to dress up or else you will be lame. So we went to every halloween store near us during our dinner hour frantically searching for a costume to buy. We went to TJ Maxx and found some onesies. I got a Grinch one and my compainion got a minion. We bought them and went over to the church. When we got there I couldn't help but notice that everone else's definition of dressing up was a little different than me. Everyone else was dressed up in regular clothes with ...
