Week 27: Transfers

Well after 6 months (roughly 4 transfers) of being in the Adelanto/Samoan area it's time for me to finally head out. I moved all the way to Hesperia, Bear Valley Ward (which is about 15 ish miles from where I last served). My companion is Elder Nordgren, he has been out for 4-1/2 months so we are both pretty new still. This morning we headed down to Rancho Cucamonga to do some transfer stuff. That's where we picked up the keys to our truck (a new Charcoal Toyota Tacoma) and the keys to our apartment and church buildings and such. My companion and I were called to be zone leaders in the Hesperia A zone and we have both never 1) been zone leaders 2) served in the area 3) been companions with each other. So we're whitewashing in and have absolutely no idea what we are doing in the area or as zone leaders. Wish us luck. I'm looking forward to the change though! An Elder that I used to live with (Elder Reilly) used to be here and said that the ward is awesome so that's good! Not too much to report really but we're going to work hard and hopefully figure things out. 

Yesterday the missionaries were invited to watch the Face to Face with Elder Oaks and Ballard and it was awesome so if you're a YSA I would highly recommend watching it. Something that stood out to me was that the world is going to continue to get worse and worse and even members in the church will question doctrine and revelation so if we are really going to be steadfast and immovable then we need to gain and keep our own testimonies. By gaining a simple testimony of the church (Joseph Smith, the Book of Mormon, etc.) then even when we have questions, even more questions than answers, we will be able to fully support and sustain the Church of Jesus Christ. Gain your testimony and defend it so you too can say "I know that he loveth his children; nevertheless, I do not know the meaning of all things." It's okay to not have all the answers. 

I love you all! I'll have pictures and more information next week. 
Love,
Elder Puzey

Elder Puzey did not send pictures because he was short for time but later in the day I got pictures from another missionary mom who's son, Elder Conder, lived in the house with Bronson in Adelanto:

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
