Week 48: Famous People

So a few things happened this week:

Monday: After we emailed we didn't have much to do so I went home and cleaned my fridge, the stove, toaster, blender, sink and my bathroom so it's looking pretty good now if I say so myself.

Tuesday: We had Zone Conference which was basically just a repeat of MLC which meant an hour of watching videos I had already seen. Pretty boring but I brought some lifesaver mints and sour Skittles to keep myself awake.

Wednesday: We were at the College again and after we did the booth we had a lesson with two of our YSA investigators named Dominic and Jeremy. They're pretty cool and it was a pretty good lesson about the Book of Mormon. Dominic has a superrrr low voice (much lower than mine) and it's so awesome haha!

Thursday: Not much tbh

Friday: We went to visit a YSA member referral. This was pretty cool because 1) we got to leave the mission because our area in the YSA covers outside the mission boundaries and 2) because the referral (Saul) is a huge car guy just like yours truly. We spent probably too much time talking about cars but hey, gotta get these people friends in the church so they actually have a reason to come and learn more. He told us he has like 8 Book of Mormons so hopefully we can connect with him a little more than past missionaries.

Saturday: I was on exchanges with the other Elders that we split our family ward with. I was with Elder Bates and we had an awesome time together! We have a lot in common in our interests and hobbies (cars, video games, stuff we used to do back home with friends for fun). While we were tracting we ran into a really nice couple that gave us water and talked with us for a while about their son. They said that he went to the U to play football and got converted and now he's an awesome husband and father. Some of you might recognize the name, Eric Weddle. He is currently playing on the Baltimore Ravens. His parent's garage was full of all his old helmets, jerseys and other football memorabilia. It was super cool! Sadly they're not interested.

Sunday: I gave a talk in the YSA ward because someone bailed last minute so I talked about the Atonement a little bit. The free gift of immortality and the potential of Eternal Life. And then a missionary that just returned spoke so he obviously did a really good job. After church we were tracting and we came across Mitchell. We caught him right as he pulled up to his house and we got to talking about his car and cars in general. He's a real chill guy and we had very similar views about cars and stuff like that. It felt good to talk about cars again like I used to do with the bros back home. He said that we could talk anytime we catch him outside again. Don't know how interested he is in the gospel but we'll get there haha. Then we went and visited a less-active YSA that has had us over a couple times for dinner. We shared a couple videos with him and one of them really impacted him. We are hoping to see him at FHE tonight!

Overall it was a pretty good week! Hopefully next week we get to teach a little more. I just want y'all to know that I know that the Book of Mormon is true and that means that this is the true Church of Jesus Christ. Luckily it's that simple.

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

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
