Health Nut

This week was good. We almost had the Area president Seventy, Elder Bragg, come to our mission. But our mission President was sick so he wasn't able to come, which was a bummer but he us coming in January now. My old companion Elder Fossum came with us for a few days and it was super fun to be with him. We then had our mission leadership coucil and our mission president joined on zoom. Our friend Isaiah gets baptized on Saturday so keep him in your prayers.


Me and my comp made a deal with ourselves at the beginning of the week to only eat healthy this week, because our diet has been atroshish. So we spent like 100 bucks on all healthy food at the store such as chicken, rice, ground turkey, and veggies. I was super excited to turn a new leaf. But I can tell you right now that everything that we bought last P Day is still in our fridge untouched. If you want a way to get around only having healthy food in your house, instead of eating in just eat out all the time. We just had fast food all week, and now I feel worse then I did last week. As an example one day we had Taco Bell for breakfast and then McDonalds for lunch and McDonalds for dinner. This week is the week though, we are forcing ourselves to eat in everyday. I'll keep you updated about my health journey.


This weeks spiritual thought comes from a quote from President Nelson about the Book of Mormon. It says “I promise that as you prayerfully study the Book of Mormon every day, you will make better decisions—every day. I promise that as you ponder what you study, the windows of heaven will open, and you will receive answers to your own questions and direction for your own life. I promise that as you daily immerse yourself in the Book of Mormon, you can be immunized against the evils of the day” I have been able to experience this in my own life. The Book of Mormon is powerful. If you even just have the tiniest desire to get something out of it, God will bless you with a hundred fold of what you were expecting. The Book of Mormon is the word of God. It is the evidence that our loving Father in Heaven and loving Savior have given to us, standing as a witness that Jesus is the Christ and that His church along with His authority is back on the earth. The Book of Mormon is true and I know that Jesus 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...

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 ...
