You Don't Need To Wear A Mask To Be A Hero

Hey everyone! Hope everyones week was good. This week was crazy, we found another really cool person named Christine and she accepted baptism! She is getting baptized on October 28th. It has been so cool to see how it truly is the Lords work, and it will get done no matter who is doing it. We also knocked some doors with some 7 year olds that we played soccer with. They were our little padawons and we ended up teaching one the kids parents!


This weeks story is about a hero that doesn't fly with some supernatural super powers, but with his eyebrows. And instead of his cape flapping in the wind, its his combover. That hero's name is Brother Blye. On Saturday our friend Christine showed up at 9am to church, thinking that the church service was that day. Luckily Brother Blye woke up and thought it was Sunday! And the hand of God made it so his phone wouldn't turn on, so he couldn't see what day it was. He got ready and headed to church. Christine was wondering where everyone was and all of a sudden the Superman theme song started playing and Brother Blye whips around the corner and with a confused look on his face stepped out of the car and was able to tell Christine that church was tomorrow. Christine then came to church and loved it! No need to fear Brother Blye is here!


This week I had the opportunity to finish the Book of Mormon again. I cannot deny the power that was manifested to me of the Books truthfulness. As I was reading I was particularly moved by this verse in 3 Nephi 17:5  when Jesus ministered to the Nephites. It says "5 And it came to pass that when Jesus had thus spoken, he cast his eyes round about again on the multitude, and beheld they were in tears, and did look steadfastly upon him as if they would ask him to tarry a little longer with them." When we long for His presence and are begging Him to tarry a little longer, He stays. As you read the Book of Mormon you will never feel Him leave you. He will tarry as long as you read, ponder, and apply the Books precepts. He lives and He longs to be with us even more than we long to be with Him. 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 ...
