Talk The Talk

Hey everyone! Hope your week was good, mine was great. Another week has flown by. This week it was raining so much and so hard. We had a couple of flash flood warnings, and just a lot of wet clothes.


We have been teaching this 80 year old, named Gerry. She is very long winded and very political. But she loves to come to church. This past Sunday we had a gospel doctrine class and we went to it with Gerry. The topic was on the law of Chastity. Gerry raised her hand to make a comment and the teacher made the mistake of calling on her. Gerry then talked for literally 20 minutes uninterrupted and ranted about the school systems. If there is something I've learned since being on my mission, it's that if you bring someone to church, people tend to associate the missionaries with that person. I was cringing the entire time. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. After that, the teacher tried to come back to the subject, and Gerry kept changing the subject back to the school systems. She was like a word wizard, twisting the conversation back to what she wanted to talk about. After the class, me and my comp kinda just stayed in the back of the class until everyone left, to avoid embarrassment. Good Old Gerry.


This weeks spiritual thought comes from 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 overcome this world all alone for us. This verse shows the character of Jesus Christ. It shows that He isn't seeking praise, He wants us to overcome and make it to sit on the throne with Him. He wants to help us. He loves us so much and He weeps when we move away from Him. So come and partake of His goodness and let Him make you better. Let Him show you how much He loves you. 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 ...
