The Last One

Hey eveyone! Hope you all had a great week! This week has been crazy!! I had my departing interview with my mission president and the departing temple trip with all the missionaries that are leaving. Yesterday our friend Kai was baptized and it was such a special way to end my mission. 

On Wednesday I will return home. It doesn't seem real because this has been my life for the past two years. I have loved my mission! The California Newport Beach mission and all the people inside of it have been so good to me. I have made so many lifelong friends whether it be investigators, members, or missionaries. I am so grateful for the opportunity I have had to serve the people of Newport Beach California and more importantly, the Savior. Over these past two years I have had so many experiences with Him and He has worked miracles in my life. I have come to know that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is His kingdom once again established on the earth today. Joseph Smith was His prophet. The Book of Mormon is His word. I have received a witness from the Holy Ghost of all of these truths. I bare my witness that Jesus Christ isn't a character in an old book but a real, active, and concerned older brother that is by our side through the bad and the good. No words can adequately describe my love for Him. I will spend the rest of my life serving and coming closer to Him. I know that He will make my life way better than I could ever do myself. What ever He touches lives, and thrives. I witness that He lives and is there with you right now! Thanks so much for all of your support these past two years!!


I would love to see you at my homecoming this Sunday the 21st at 12pm. Here is the address: 14 Bonanza Rd, Farmington, Utah.

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 ...
