Workman, Luke

Hey everyone! Hope your week was good! Another week bites the dust here in Orange County. We had zone conference and I was able to see some friends from the mission whice was pretty fun. I also got to help out with this big production that our stake is putting on to Celebrate Jesus's resurrection called "Risen". I played a vital role in the production as the guy that was security and who told people when they could take pictures.  This week our friend Roland who was on date before but fell off, cane back from a long trip from Washington. He came back with a determination to finish what he started snd get baptized so we put him on date for this upcoming Saturday. He was super excited and we were too. I might have been a little too excited because there were some chili's on the table and Roland offered me some and since I was so excited and caught up in the moment I went all in and ate the whole thing in one bite. Roland then said "Oh wow, you ate the whole thing....

Hey everyone! Hope your week was good! Mine was pretty busy and flew by, but was good. We had transfers and I got a new companion named Elder Sheets. He is awesome and we've been having a great time. We were able to meet some cool people this week, including a family that said that they want to work towards being baptized! God is good! On Friday we drove up to transfers, and we packed up Elders Sanders stuff in our Nissan Rogue. We also had to take another companionship to transfers as well, but they said that they can put most of his stuff in another car so we don't need that much room for the rest of his stuff. As we pulled up to their apartment I thought a garage sale was going on, and then I saw the Elders standing next to a huge pile of stuff and then a cold shiver ran down my spine. There was so much stuff. We had just a little room to spare because we thought that he put most of his stuff in the other car. That scary part is that he did put most of his stuff in the other...

Hey everyone! Another week has come and gone. We were able to find some cool people this week that are interested in learning more. I've been able to see the Lords hand so much more in the work as I have been looking for Him.  This week we got permission to go to Dave and Busters with our recent convert who is 15. It was kinda weird being in an arcade like that as a missionary. We stuck out like a sore thumb because we were wearing white shirts and there were black lights all throughout the arcade. It was fun though, and we thought we would end the night off on the rubber duck claw machine. It's the best claw machine because you pay once and then you go until you win something. We were having a jolly old time trying to win a rubber duck and then a drunk lady decided to insert herself in between us and the claw machine. She said that she was "Really good at this" and I just looked at my companion and we didn't even know what to do. She was terrible at the claw mach...

Hey everyone! Quick week this week because it was four days since my last Pday. The first of last week was kind of a struggle for finding new people to teach but we were able to find some cool people at the end of the week and one of them cane to church and wants to get his family involved. God will definitely show you the miracle after the trial of your faith. This past week we went on an exchange with some Elders in a YSA ward and we went on the UCI campus. We were getting rejected left and right by atheists. But then a Chinese cowboy came out of the crowd and told us that he was interested in learning more and coming to church. He had wrangler jeans, a flannel, a snake skin hat with a light on it. He was legit. He was like manna from heaven in the barren land of UCI. But all of a sudden this random guy came up to us and started bashing us trying to make this guy not want to check it out. I was determined to not let the cowboy slip through my fingertips. So the Elder I was with kind ...
