Week 59: 14,500

So today I received a picture from the top secret sections of the mission. Y'all probably remember me talking about the little black box that we have in our mission cars that keep us from doing stupid stuff. The little black box is called Tiwi. Well we have to log in to the thing so that way HQ knows who's the one being a bone head. Another thing that it tracks is how many miles people drive. Well after only being out for just over a year I have now surpassed every other missionary in the mission. I've logged 14,500 miles since being here in California. I'll send a picture if I remember to.

We met with Mike a couple times this week and he accepted to start working towards July 21st as a date for his baptism. Pretty exciting stuff. He wasn't at church yesterday but we're 99% sure it's because he went up to northern California with his member friend to watch someone get baptized. If there was ever any excuse for an investigator to miss church then I think that would be it.

We also met with a new person named Tay. He's a referral from some other missionaries. They said that he was looking kinda down so they gave him some water and he said missionaries could come over. So we show up a couple of days later and the lesson went really well so that's pretty exciting as well. 

We had a cool experience the other day. I was on exchanges with one of the Chinese (speaking) Elders and we tried someone that said we could come back the previous day. They let us in and allowed us to sit down and talk for a little bit. They said that they weren't interested but since they were super nice they kept talking to us about what we do, where we're from and stuff like that. We talked about our message and shared a little bit of it. We could feel the Spirit so they could too so our job was done. 

Gonna be pretty hot this weekend so not looking forward to that at all. We get to help with a "Freedom Run" on the fourth of July so that'll be fun. Waking up super early won't really be enjoyable but it's a change of pace.

Hope everyone is doing well and being good neighbors and true disciples of Jesus Christ (that means that we love one another)

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
