Poopy Box Movers

Hey everyone! Hope you all had a great week! We had three exchanges so it was kind of hectic but it was fun. 


This week was weird because it was December but it felt like September. It is kinda hard to get into the Christmas spirit when it is 70 degrees haha. The Elders in our zone went bowling with our mission president and his wife and I bowled a 156. I think that is one of the best scores I have ever gotten haha. I also went on an exchange with a Spanish Elder and I literally didn't do anything hahaha. I almost fell asleep during one lesson because I couldn't understand anything and was super bored. But it was pretty good week.


On Saturday we agreed to help this lady move in the sister missionaries ward. We got there and apparently she isn't moving. She needed help putting Christmas decorations up. So that was the first curveball. The second one was when I opened up the shed. I opened it up and my eye brows singed because of the atroshish smell. There was mouse poop everywhere and me and my companion were the only ones not in dress clothes so we were appointed the poop box movers. So while the other missionaries were inside "helping" put up their nativity, me and Elder Larson were moving 20 boxes in this shed and every single one of them had mouse poop. The weird thing was that we didn't see a single mouse and there wasn't any holes, so that's a baffling mystery. But I found an original Spiderman comic from like the 60's in one of those poop boxes so that made it all worth it.


The spiritual thought for this week comes from Isaiah 49:16 and it says 
"Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me."
Christ payed the ultimate price and suffered for all of our sins. He was nailed to the cross and still has those scars. Even when you feel alone and you just feel like curling up into a ball. Christ is with you and He will never forget you because he has graven you into the palms of His hands as a constant reminder of His infinite love for all of us! 


Hope you all have a fantastic 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 ...
