Real Housewives Of OC?

Hey everyone!!!! This past week flew by for some reason! On Monday we got to go to a members street Halloween party and have some tacos. Apparently Jennifer Pedranti lives at the house that the taco truck was at. For those of you who don't know who Jennifer Pedranti is, apparently she is a big deal and is on Real Housewives of OC. So that was kind of crazy haha. 


Finding on campus has been so fun!!! We kind of get to let loose and act our age again when we are talking to these students. This past week we did a gratitude board, so we would go up to a bunch of people and have them write what they were grateful for. It was so awesome to be able to see all of these different things that they would write down, and it was fun to talk about the those things with them.


We also had back to back exchanges which I think is the reason everything felt so fast. On Saturday morning we got to play soccer in the morning at this nice field with a bunch of guys from the ward and their friends which was super fun. But on Saturday afternoon we got a call from the sisters saying that these people need help taking this chair into their house and it will take max 5 minutes. So we get there and it's an apartment complex with no elevators. Her apartment is on the top floor. I had to channel my inner Ross Geller and just "PIVAT!" all the way up the staircase. We got it up he stairs and into the apartment. We were about to leave and the lady started giving us orders for us to "clean out" her garage. Me and Elder Larson then spent two hours taking everything out of the garage and putting it back in. The garage literally looked the exact same as when we got there hahaha.


The spiritual thought this week is about the Atonement of Jesus Christ. In Alma 7:11-13 it says:
11 And he shall go forth, suffering pains and afflictions and temptations of every kind; and this that the word might be fulfilled which saith he will take upon him the pains and the sicknesses of his people.
   12 And he will take upon him death, that he may loose the bands of death which bind his people; and he will take upon him their infirmities, that his bowels may be filled with mercy, according to the flesh, that he may know according to the flesh how to succor his people according to their infirmities.
   13 Now the Spirit knoweth all things; nevertheless the Son of God suffereth according to the flesh that he might take upon him the sins of his people, that he might blot out their transgressions according to the power of his deliverance; and now behold, this is the testimony which is in me.
Jesus Christ not only suffered for our sins, but he went through every individual pain, sorrow, sickness, and affliction that we have and will go through. He knows exactly what we are going through and knows how to help you get throught it. He wants us to turn to Him! Hope you all have 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 ...
