Sing Us A Song You're The Homeless Lady!

This week was insane! So much stuff was going on. I found out that I was getting transfered so I have to say my last goodbyes to people in the ward, Isaiah, and our friend Lewis who is on date. I am now in Carlsbad and for all you that went to Farmington High, my new companion is Elder Dallin Holt!!! Such a small world, were having a blast!


This week me and Elder Holt were finding people in the parking lot and we ran into this homeless lady who was not completely all there. We asked if she needed any help and she proceeded to get put a clip board and handed it to us asking if we supported religious freedom. She obviously didn't see who we were haha. She all of a sudden started reciting this pitch about how we need to go back to what the constitution  says and yatta yatta yatta. Towards the middle of her speel, she burst out into song for the rest of her pitch. She then yanked the clip board out of our hands and went back to searching for something in the parking lot. Me and Elder Holt were biting our tongues the entire time to not laugh. After she left we couldn't stop laughing about how random the experience was.


The spiritual thought this week comes from the Book of Mormon in 3 Nephi 1:12-14. At this point in the Book of Mormon an evil group of people are threatening to kill the believers if the star that signifies Christ's birth doesn't come. The Prophet Nephi is praying on behalf of his people and this is what happened. "12 And it came to pass that he cried mightily unto the Lord all that day; and behold, the voice of the Lord came unto him, saying: 13 Lift up your head and be of good cheer; for behold, the time is at hand, and on this night shall the sign be given, and on the morrow come I into the world, to show unto the world that I will fulfil all that which I have caused to be spoken by the mouth of my holy prophets. 14 Behold, I come unto my own, to fulfil all things which I have made known unto the children of men from the foundation of the world, and to do the will, both of the Father and of the Son—of the Father because of me, and of the Son because of my flesh. And behold, the time is at hand, and this night shall the sign be given." When we are faced with trials and hardships, and we feel like there is no possible way out. We can always have hope that Christ will come into our lives when when we ask Him to. 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...

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 ...
