GONG

Hey everyone! Hope your week went well. This week was pretty good for me, and it went really fast. But we went to B-dubs and it's always a good week when you get to go yo B-Dubs.


This week I went on an exchange with some Elders in our zone. While we were on the exchange, we went to a park. We went and talked to these two ladies who were talking by the playground. We asked them if they wanted to hear a message about Jesus Christ and they said sure, so we told them our whole message about how Jesus Christ's church is on the earth today and how we can know through the Book of Mormon. It was awesome, the spirit was there and we were answering all of their questions. We then asked them if they would like to read the Book of Mormon and they said no, but I felt satified with that contact because we definitely planted a seed. It came time for us to leave and I was acting like they just missed the opportunity of a lifetime (because they did) and I started to turn around to walk away and I said "Well next time you see missionaries you should give them a chaa--" I ran into a pole mid sentence. I head my head on it and it made a big "GONG" noise and it knocked me back a couple steps. They started chuckling and trying to conceal their laughter, asked if I was ok. I then said I was fine and speed walked away. Elder Watts would not let that one go the rest of the exchange.


This weeks spiritual thought comes from the Book of Mormon in 2 Nephi 33:10-11 " 10 And now, my beloved brethren, and also Jew, and all ye ends of the earth, hearken unto these words and believe in Christ; and if ye believe not in these words believe in Christ. And if ye shall believe in Christ ye will believe in these words, for they are the words of Christ, and he hath given them unto me; and they teach all men that they should do good. 11 And if they are not the words of Christ, judge ye—for Christ will show unto you, with power and great glory, that they are his words, at the last day; and you and I shall stand face to face before his bar; and ye shall know that I have been commanded of him to write these things, notwithstanding my weakness." This is Nephi talking about the words in the Book of Mormon, and I know what he said is true. If you are looking to change your life and find more peace and joy, then Jesus Christ is the answer. The best place to get closer to Jesus Christ is the Book of Mormon, because it testifies of Jesus Christ and His divinity as the Savior of mankind and it testifies of the Saviors love for us because it is evidence that He has restored His original church back on the earth. I testify with every ounce of my soul that the Book of Mormon is true, and that Joseph Smith is a prophet of God, and that Jesus Christ lives and is running His church today. 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 ...
