Programs And Headaches

Hey everyone! Hope your week was good. Our friend Sam got baptized. The Spirit was amazing and after her baptism she came up to us and said that ever since she met us in the parking lot a month ago, she has been able to feel more peace and joy. She said that her circumstances haven't change at all but she feels so much more joy. Jesus Christ truly is the source of never ending happiness. 


Before the baptism me and Elder Holt had to make the programs. We thought that it was going to be a quick 15 minutes in and out, but sadly due to my technologically challenged mind it took two and a half hours. Everytime I would try to insert a line it would throw everything out of alignment. After we finally got everything lined up the way we wanted, we couldn't figure out how to make it double sided so after 20 minutes of aimlessly clicking around we figured it out. After that, we printed it out and the picture we chose required a lot of ink. And I'm not throwing any shade on the church's printer but the printer couldn't handle it and it came out splotchy. So we then spent another 20 minutes looking for a good Jesus picture that didn't require a lot of ink. We finally figured everything out and I had temporary blindness from staring at a computer for so long. That blue light will get ya. 


This weeks spiritual thought comes from the New Testament in the book of revelation. In Revelation 3:21 it says "21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne." Jesus Christ not only saved us so we can be with Him, but He saved us so we could be like Him. He descended below all things so He could lift us to where He is. We need to overcome this world and the natural man through the atonement or Jesus Christ so we can sit with Hom in His throne. 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 ...
