Miracles Have Not Ceased!

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 car. There was just random stuff like a huge crate of ingredients, a snowman cookie jar that was still in the box, and a bag of huge rocks that literally just took up space. It's not like they were cool rocks either, I could have found cooler rocks walking down the sidewalk. Somehow we fit everything in the car and I had to sacrifice blood circulation to my legs to try and fit some boxes in the front seat with me. Thankfully I have once again recieved feeling in my legs.


This weeks spiritual thought comes from 1 Corinthians 15:55-57, it says "55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? 56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." I love this scripture because we came to this earth and we were in a pit that we can't get ourselves out of. A state where after we died that was it and there was no hope in seeing our loved ones again. But because of Jesus Christ descending from His throne divine, and suffering, dying, and rising from the grave, we are able to see those that we love again. Jesus takes away the sting of death and fills us with hope peace. He truly is the Christ and 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 ...
