Week 33: The Black Hole Year

There is not a whole lot to report this week. We had transfers and Elder Nordgren and I are staying right where we are. There are a couple changes with the zone including Elder Conder being transferred in which is awesome! Been missing that guy. We got to go to Rancho yesterday to help with transfers and bikes and luggage and such. Always a good time being able to go to Rancho topped off with lunch at Chick-fil-a. 

We gained a couple of new investigators. One is named Alma and she seems pretty interested. She knows that she needs to devote her life to the Lord and knows that she needs to make some changes so we're working with her to help her understand that the restored gospel will help her do that! We also taught Mike and Vivian (a different Vivian than other emails). Vivian has spent some time in Utah so she knows quite a bit about the church and she told us that she wants to start practicing with us (we hope that means becoming a member). Her ex-husband's name was Coriantumr so I think she might be prepared??? Hopefully. Mike was also there. I'll try to explain this simply. Mike and Venessa own the apt. Vivian is just staying with them till she moves into her own place. Venessa is Vivian's niece and Venessa is also (apparently) a member of the church (as Vivian told us). Vivian will be moving soon but luckily she will still be within our ward boundaries and she's moving in with her brother (apparently another member, probably Less-Active). So the lesson with Vivian and Mike was good, Mike took a couple notes so we hope that they both pray to really know for themselves through the power of the Holy Ghost if this is the true restored Church of Jesus Christ. 

As we enter 2018 we enter the year that no one will see Elder Puzey in the flesh (besides these crazy Southern Californians). Hence the title, "The Black Hole Year". It'll be a short one.

Love you all!!!
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
