Amy's Baptism!

Hey everyone! Hope everyone had a good superbowl sunday! I can't believe that it has already been a week. So much stuff has been going on. Our friend Amy got Baptized on Saturday and I was so lucky to be the one that baptized her! The spirtit was so strong and I could just feel the joy the Amy felt and the joy that our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ felt. This week has been packed with service projects and lessons, and I have been loving it. By the end of the day we just collapse because of how tired we are haha. 


This week we had a lesson with one of our friends and she has an insane dog. This dog will be bouncing off the walls for the entire lesson which is usually an hour long. So this time I tried to hold the dog. It was literally wrestle mania with me and Cowie (the dog). I'm not sure if anyone has tried to teach a lesson while having a dog in a full Nelson, but it's hard. I was trying to act like nothing was wrong and just went on with the lesson while I had Cowie in a scissor lock. Ok maybe I'm being dramatic but I think you get it haha.


This weeks spiritual thought is from Mosiah 3:5 which says "5 For behold, the time cometh, and is not far distant, that with power, the Lord Omnipotent who reigneth, who was, and is from all eternity to all eternity, shall come down from heaven among the children of men, and shall dwell in a tabernacle of clay"Jesus Christ did die for us and that is a vital point to remember always, but we have to remember that He lived for us too. He came down from his throne and dwelt among us. He lived a regular life and had friends and family that he loved. He had a job, and He celebrated with the people He cared about. Jesus is the most relatable person ever! If there is anyone that you should turn to when you are lonely, stressed, scared, or all of the above, Jesus Christ is the one you should turn to. I know that He overcame death for us and continues to live for us today. He loves us infinitely. He is the Savior and Redeemer of my soul. 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 ...
