HAPPY NEW YEAR

Happy New Year everyone!!! Unfortunately I only got to 10:30 this year and didn't make it to midnight haha. But it has been a pretty eventful week. It rained!!!! I havent seen rain in a while haha it was so nice to put on a sweater and go walk around. We put our friend Amy on date for February 11th so that was pretty cool. We had some exchanges this week with some other Edlers which was super fun. I also had to speak yesterday. My one and only New Years resolution was to speak in church, so I guess I can just sit back and relax the rest of the year. 


A funny story that happened this week was that we met an antichrist named Amil on the street. Beams of false doctrine started spewing out of his mouth and not going to lie it was testing my patience. After confounding him multiple times, his last point that he was trying to make was that he was older than us. He asked us "How old do you think I am?" Oof that was not a smart question to ask because I answered "I would guess 50" he was 35. He was as quiet as a church mouse after that haha. 


The spiritual thought this week comes from 2 Nephi 33:6 and an exerpt from that verse is "I glory in my Jesus". Jesus' love for all of us is very individual and personal. We can choose to turn to Him and partake of that love that He feels for us. I invite you all to come closer to Jesus Christ this year and build that relationship so you can all honestly say that "I glory in "MY" Jesus".


Love you all and have a great week! Start the new year strong!!!

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 ...
