Webbed Up

Hey everyone!!! Hope everyone's week was good! This week was pretty good for us, we have been meeting some really cool people and we have had the opportunity to teach a lot of people. It is so cool how God guides people to truth that are actively seeking.


This week we were knocking on doors and I was walking side by side with my companion to the next door and in california at this time of year there is a ton of Spiders everywhere for some reason. So I was walking with my head down and all of a sudden my companion yells "Spider" and grabs the back of my shirt. I thought there was a spider on my back so I started running forward to get away from the spider, but what my companion was trying to do was yank me back because I was about to walk into a spider on its web. So as I started running forward and I ran into the spider and its web, who was sitting at eye level and I felt the Spider hit my forhead. I started freaking out and was acting like a mad man trying to get the spider and its web off. After I caught my breath and the mix of adrenalin, shock, and the fear of God that was in me wore off we saw a lady that was on her porch, and she had witnessed the whole thing. She was laughing pretty hard but we were able to teach her about the Book of Mormon and we set a return appointment. Jesus Christ makes things perfect even when he has to work with a spaz like me.


This weeks spiritual thought is from Luke 15:4-7 it says "4 What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it? 5 And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing. 6 And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost. 7 I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance." There is no place that we can hide, no hole to deep, and no past too dark to keep us from the love of our Savior and our loving Heavenly Father. Jesus Christ is relentless and will not stop trying to find us and get us home safely. We have the power to make it easier for Him if we come to Him. 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...

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 ...
