Transfers

Happy Easter! Hopefully everyone had a good week. I know that I did. This week I found it that I'm getting transferred which is really sad because I love this area and I have been here for 6 months. So I will fins out where I'm going sometime today, so stay tuned next week to find our where I go. 


This week we had a lesson with our friend who is on house arrest over the phone. The lesson was going pretty good but then he started ordering at the chicken-fil-a drive thru, which I'm not even sure if it's even legal for him to be driving haha. We were talking about Joseph Smith and then he says "Hold on a second guys" and you here in the background "Here is you food l, gave a nice day." And then our friend says in a thick new york accent "Oh thank you so (crunch noise)...Oh geez, oh crap, oh geez. Does anyone have any napkins!" It turns out that when he was grabbing his food,  our friend was a little too eager and crushed his drink when they gave it to him.  Me and my comp were dying because I think he forgot that he was on the phone so we listened to the whole fiasco. He was able to find those napkins that he desparately needed and we then finished the lesson, but you couldn't understand what he was saying because his mouth with full of food so whenever he would say something our response would be "Yeah for sure". It ended up goofd because when he is off house arrest he wants to come to church so we just have to wait 5 more months haha.


This weeks spiritual thought comes from Mark 16:6 and it says"6 And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him." With just three words, "he is risen" the universe was forever changed and we didn't need to fear anymore. The bands of death in which we were all bound were broken. This past weekend we were able to celebrate Jesus Christ's victory over both physical and spiritual death. Have you really thought why Jesus Christ's resurrection is meaningful to you personally? The reason it is meaningful to me is because he not only rose for me to live again, but he rose for my family and friends. He knew that for me, it wouldn't be heaven if the people I loved weren't there. He knew of the joy that my loved ones bring me and suffered and died and overcame so I can be with them forever. I am so grateful for Jesus Christ and His willingness to not only die for but to live for us as well. I know that He is risen and is a lot closer than we think. Hope everyone has a good 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...

Out Of Place

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 ...
