Week 16: The Prodigal Son Returns

So some of you may have heard of a crazy adventure that my roommates and I went on while we were all going to school. For those of you who haven't, here is the short version. 
Wednesday: We decide we want to go to Vegas. That entailed all the planning.
Friday: After everyone finished with class we loaded up the truck and headed down the 15. After arriving at Vegas at 11 pm we decide that now would be a good time to start looking for a hotel #genius. We give up looking for a hotel at around 1 am and decide to enjoy walking the strip from the hours of 1-3 am at which time many drugs were offered. 
Saturday: 3am, we never found a hotel so we head to the nearest LDS Church building. 8 am, we wake up to 200 people in the parking lot of the building ready to do a stake service project. Then we decide to drive to the Grand-Canyon (not a short drive), and upon arrival find out that you must pay $50 per person to go. So we buy socks and leave. We learned from our mistakes so we book a hotel in St.George. We arrive at the hotel after leaving the Grand-Canyon and enjoy some time in the hot tub. Not too much later many highschoolers have shown up for a baseball tournament. A few of them join us in the hot tub and we get to talking. A few of the highschoolers know some of the people that we were going to school with and that are in our ward. We go to bed, get up the next day and head back to Provo.

The reason I tell this story is because one of the highschoolers that was there in that hot tub is my son Elder Kunz. The Prodigal son has returned. Everything seems to be going well though! I know that Elder Kunz is going to be a great missionary and we have already started our efforts of finding those people that are ready and prepared to receive the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ. They are out there, they might be your friends or family or strangers so make sure you talk to everyone so that way you can sift the people who are ready and who are not. Then all you have to do is give them over to the missionaries! 

I know that this is the Church of Jesus Christ and that our Savior pleads with us everyday that we will help him return our brothers and sisters to our Father in Heaven because right now, He does not have them, but He desperately wants them. Share the Gospel and bring joy.

Love you all, pray for the cougars.
Love,
Elder Puzey

Week 10: Stay Safe

Image
Nothing too exciting has happened this week. The other day we went over to Tosin's house to try to fix his little refrigerator. One of our investigators taught us a little about refrigeration because he is taking an HVAC class, so we used our new knowledge to help out our best. Afterwards we went outside and saw a little memorial on the street and he told us that a few days ago there was a man working on a car to make a little bit of money for his family. He had to lift up the car but didn't have anything but a little bottle-neck jack and no jack stands. Sadly the car fell onto him and he didn't have any way of getting out or getting help. It was a strong reminder to me of how fast life can change or end. That's why it's so important that we always live a life in such a way that we are prepared to enter into the rest of God and not enter into an eternal regret. One of the ways that we can always be ready is relying on the Atonement of Jesus Christ. Tosin has been an

Week 35: Missionary work and mechanic work

Image
First off I want to apologize because I took the equivalent of 0/342569243 pictures this week. I'll improve for next week.  This week was an upgrade from last week, not too much tracting was done and we had some good lessons. We were blessed with a couple of new investigators. One is named Dave and he's super funny. When we first ran into him he told us to "stay groovy" as we said goodbye to him. After our first lesson with him we think that he had a lot better understanding than most when we tell people that we believe that we're the same church that Christ established and that we're the only true church on the earth. He told us that what we were suggesting was quite a lot to take in and that it would take him some more lessons and reading and praying for him to know for himself if what we were saying was true.  This week we were also blessed with the opportunity to give some service. On Monday (not yesterday but the week previous) we were able

Week 85: That week between Christmas and New Years when you don't know what day it is

Image
Well probably lots to update on since I didn't really feel like writing much last week. Recap of last week in pictures: 1. We got arrested! Jk some guy got arrested outside and so the doors were locked and we had to bang on them to get in.  2. Christmas eve!  3. Trip to the mall!  This week was pretty good. Can't beat being able to FaceTime the family and talk. On Thursday we did our usual weekly service at the community farm and some of the other elders in the zone have been joining and we've started a tradition of going to eat lunch afterwards so all the Christmas gift cards have come in clutch. On Friday we did some service for Larry. So Larry has an adopted grandson, a granddaughter and a grandson-in-law that live with him. He's getting pretty old so it's hard for him to clean and stuff like that. So we volunteered to help clean up the backyard in preparation for their new years party/BBQ. As we clean up the back porch and the lawn we got to
