I'm Getting Transferred?

Hey everyone! This last week of the transfer has been crazy. We made a few new friends which has been so fun! We also had the opportunity to go and play basketball this week at Laguna Beach. It was so fun! We played with this beach bum who had long blonde hair snd the whitest teeth you will ever see haha. We also got to go to the stance store in San Clemente. The owner gives us 50% off of everything for being missionaries. So I loaded up hahaha I got ace ventura socks, Darth Vader socks, Spiderman socks, and a sweat shirt and sweat pants. 


A funny story that happened this week is when we were walking down this street and we met this lady who only spoke Spanish. We called the Spanish Elders and this lady just started to walk away from us. We started following her holding the phone out trying to have the Spanish elders talk to her. Let's just say she wasn't interested haha but u can only imagine what we looked like chasing this lady down the street holding out a phone hahaha. 


On Saturday we had our ward Halloween party. There was so much Chilli! There was a DJ blasting thriller and the monster mash and everyone went all out with their costumes haha. We were in charge of some games with the other elders and gave out some prizes to the kids.


On Saturday we decided to skip lunch and have a two hour dinner at the promised land...Sgt Pepperoni's. I was having a great time about to dig into my Buffalo chicken pizza and all of a sudden I get a call from the APs saying that I'm being transferred. I have literally only been here for 4 weeks and I'm being transferred...WHAT?!?! So packed all weekend and hopefully I got everything hahaha so I will let you know next week where I go!


The spiritual thought for this week is Ether 12:27 and it has helped me through these past weeks. It says "27 And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness. I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them." I have definitely been humbled in these past two months. I know that if we have faith in the Savior, He will make us strong! Hope everyone has a great week!

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 ...
