PIVAT

Hey everyone, hope all of you had a great week! This week was jam packed with stuff. We had transfers and I said by to my friends and the members in Lake Forest. I was transfered to Vista and I am in a YSA ward again and we also go on base and teach the marine recruits in basic training. I am super excited to be in this ward because this is most likely where I'm going to end my mission. My new comps name is Elder Anderson and he goes home this transfer. Which is crazy because I go home the transfer after that, so we are going to work and play hard this transfer haha.


This past week me and Elder Anderson were given the tast of moving a couch out of an apartment that was being closed down. So we got there and started to move the couch out. We noticed that it was going to be a little tight but that didn't stop us from trying to stand it upright and try to shove it through the door frame. We tried to shove it upright and a bunch of random objects started falling on me from the couch. It was an assortment of nerf darts, lose change, and random crumbs that went down my shirt collar. The stuff just kept coming, it was like a sofa vending machine. After a few good shoves we realized that it wasn't going to work and all that came to my kind was that friends episode where Ross and Chandler have to cut the couch in have because they got it stuck haha. I started yelling "Pivat!" but unfortunately my comp hadn't seen it and didn't get the reference. After a few minutes of trying to get it unstuck we were able to reevaluate and get the couch out safe and sound. The door jam wasn't as safe and sound though haha.


This weeks spiritual thought comes from Jacob 3:2 in the Book of Mormon. It says "2 O all ye that are pure in heart, lift up your heads and receive the pleasing word of God, and feast upon his love; for ye may, if your minds are firm, forever." I love this scripture so much because all of us have a pure intent of wanting to be better. As we recieve the word of God and use it so we can become better, we will feel the joy that Jesus Christ offers when we rely on Him to progress. Through Him we can reach out divine destiny of becoming like Him, being able to love and feel joy in the same capacity as Him. I know without a doubt that 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...

Out Of Place

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 ...
