Head Over Heels

Hey everyone! This week went by really fast and I can't believe it's already monday again. This week was pretty good, we did a lot of finding on the beach and found some cool people, and had some really powerful lessons with some of our friends that are about to be put on date. There were also a ton of marines that showed up to church yesterday too which was super cool.


Every tuesday we get together with some of the members of the stake and they bring their non member friends and we play basketball. This week I forgot to bring my basket ball shoes. I tore it up on the court in my dress shoe's and I got some blisters on the balls of my feet. The next day we went finding on campus for 6 hours. My feet were killing me and I was walking around on my heels the whole time. I looked like a mom who was speed walking out of the nail salon after getting a pedicure, and had just realized that her kid had early out that day. I would have killed for some Heely's to roll around campus on. But my feet are A-OK now.


This weeks spiritual thought comes from Philipians 4:11 in the new testament. It says "11 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content." This is Paul speaking in his letter to the Philipians. Paul went through alot. He was beaten, mocked, cast out, put into prison multiple times and all that good stuff. If anyone had the right to wish he had something better it was Paul. I'm not saying it is wrong to have goals and progress, because the whole reason we are on Earth is to progress, but I am saying that like Paul we should be content with today and live in it. We shouldn't wish our lives away, we can find joy, peace, comfort, and progress through the Savior Jesus Christ. As we strive to be content with today and make today count, then the Lord will work miracles in our lives. 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 ...
