Well this week consisted of a lot of biking. Honestly it wasn't too bad, felt good to get fresh (very polluted) California air. What was less cool was the fact that we thought we covered the south area when in reality we cover the north part of the ward. So everyday up till Saturday we had been biking about 3 miles into our area which consists of going across train tracts on a bridge which makes it up hill both ways. Funny enough the road with the bridge was called Mountain, and it sure felt like one. Another headache was scrambling to get a baptism set up. Larry has been meeting with missionaries for a while and he's going to get baptized on Saturday. Well when I came into the area (7 days ago) I thought everything would be all lined up and ready to go but nope. On Wednesday I realized that he had still not been interviewed for baptism. We have a rule that people are supposed to be interviewed 10 days before they get baptized. Well it was Wednesday which is exactly 10

Well I thought I'd be in Chino for a little while longer but I guess I'm needed elsewhere. I've moved a few miles north into the Ontario zone. My new companion has been out for six weeks so I'm finishing up his training. So I'm kinda like his step-father. We're in a hybrid area so I'll have to use my bike sometimes. About time! Sorry there's not much to report this week. I'll have more next week! Love you all! Love,  Elder Puzey My new whip and new companion Elder Palacios Got to go to a car show that the stake puts on

During my last transfer in Hesperia Elder Nordgren and I were preparing for the baptism of our investigator Vivan. We were all set and the Saturday came. We didn't have anything planned for the morning before the baptism so we filled it doing some tracting (we did a lot of that in that area). It was slightly raining and we were coming to the last house on the block without much luck. We knocked and met Tony and Lupe Salvatierra, talked to them for a couple minutes and told us we could come back the next Saturday. Pretty average contact. Well we show up the next Saturday and they have snacks and waters on the table for us and the family is there ready to take notes. A couple weeks later we both got transferred. This Saturday comes around, 8 months later, and they got baptized! So here's how Saturday went: Elder Worsham and I drove up to Rancho to meet with the office elders, Elder Nordgren and Elder Bryner. We swap companions and then Elder Nordgren and I head up the pass

Well obviously the biggest highlight of the week was general conference. Pretty exciting stuff! Something else that went well was a little trip to froyoland with David. We swung by Saturday night and he was pulling out when we got to his house so he asked if we wanted to go with him to get some froyo. Absolutely! So we got in and he drove us up to the south part of Pomona (the ghetto). So we arrive and as we are walking to the shop we hear a gunshot in the gas station across the way a bit. No one even noticed, good times. Then we got back to his home and talked about goals and making plans to achieve those goals so now he's on date to be baptized on November 10th. He still needs to quit smoking so prayers for that. But all in all we're glad he's coming along. The next day he showed up at the church for both sessions of Sunday conference so yay! Sadly not too much to share this week. Hopefully everyone had a good conference weekend and y'all had some good tak

Well on Tuesday we went to Rancho Cucamonga to get some flu shots. While we were there the office elders were there and both of the office elders are two of my former companions, Elder Nordgren and Elder Bryner. They were busy doing office elder stuff and they invited me to go up into the attic to help restart the router so that was fun.  We were able to teach a new person on Thursday. His name is Joe and he's pretty familiar with some of our basic beliefs. To be honest he's just a retired guy and doesn't seem super prepared but having someone to teach is better than nothing.  Well to rebound from last week we have another car story: We were driving to dinner and we had a few spare minutes so we decided to try to stop by a couple of people that had shown interest in the past. So we drive up to one, knock on the door, no one's home. So we drive up to the next person and as we're doing so I spot a black McLaren lurking in someone's open garage. So
