Soggy Socks

Hey everyone! I hope everyone had a great week. This week has been crazy, I said goodbye to Larson and stayed with the zone leaders for two days. It's been weird without elder Larson because I was with him for so long. Other than that it's just been regular missionary work.


I went on an exchange with Elder Burton and we visited a member and she made us a five course meal pretty much. She made us two sandwiches each, oatmeal cookies, fruit, and gave us a drink. It was so nice of her. So we left and it was dumping outside. Like the kind of rain where there was a river going down the sidewalk. So we had just gotten in the car and all of a sudden we see her walking out... IN HER SOCKS! She was just trudging through all this water in her socks to give us cheese for our sandwiches. She sacrificed her socks to give us a minor taste difference for our sandwiches. 


The spiritual thought this week comes from John 11:35, it says "Jesus wept" this is right before he is about to raise Lazarus from the dead. He looked around and saw the anguish and sorrow of his friends and he felt for them. Even though Jesus knew how the story was going to end, and knew that Lazarus would soon be alive, but He still wept with them. Jesus knows how the story ends for us, He knows that everything will work out according to His Father's plan, but it doesn't mean that he won't cry at the sad parts with us. He will be there to mourn with us and carry us through whatever we are going through. I know He lives.


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 ...
