Week 37: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

The Good:
Got to go on exchanges with Elder Conder. It was great to catch up with him and relive some good moments back in the Adelanto House. 
Gained 6 new investigators this week!!:

Dave -  we tracted into him. We asked him if he would be interested in learning more and he just thought for a second and then told us that it was time that he should learn more. We taught the restoration to him and answered his questions about some of our basic beliefs.

Freddy -  after we taught him the Restoration he said that he was really excited to read from the Book of Mormon and learn more from us!

Mandy + Victor - tracted into a LONG time ago but we kept trying and we thought they were giving us the run around but they're just really busy. We taught them the Restoration and asked if they would pray to know the truth and they said that they would.

Ula + Tiffany - don't really know how solid they are because Ula is 87 and Tiffany is like 10 so comprehension might not be the best for the both of them but they enjoyed our words at least. Elder Conder and I actually tracted into them when we were on exchanges and taught them right there.

We had interviews this week, they went good.

We had Stake meetings with the Stake President and the mission President and such and that also went good. The Stake has been seeing improvement over the past couple months. President Taylor didn't chastise us about anything so that's a good day in my book.

We had one investigator at church!

The Bad:
We were checking on a less active/ part-member house and the ex-husband informed us that the less-active lady we were looking for moved and wants nothing to do with the church. Then he started to blast us with a bunch of Anti stuff. We withstood with some smiles and got to the truck laughing quite a bit. 

We only had one investigator at church.

Church was only two hours because it was a regional broadcast.

The Ugly:
We taught our investigator, Vivian, the Word of Wisdom and learned that she smokes. So we're going to do our best to help her with that along with the help she'll receive from the Lord. 

All the dogs in the neighborhood still bark at us a lot.

I didn't take a lot of pictures this week.

Sorry that this one was kinda brief. We're working as hard as we can and the Lord has our backs. Remember to always be looking for missionary opportunities. Some of the best missionary work is just providing service and then waiting for them to ask you some gospel questions which they WILL if we serve them.

Love you all, feed the missionaries, give referrals, pray!
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
