Week 97: Paradise

Sorry fam not too much time to write today. We spent a lot of our time this week doing service. It's been raining a lot more than usual so green weeds are popping up in everyone's yards and they want them gone. Can't hardly believe these desert people want the only green they ever see out of their brown yards.

Speaking of green yards though, we had a zone activity at a bishop's house today and man was it nice!! The pictures will describe it a lot better but there was a basketball court, volleyball net, two fire places, ping pong table and they even hooked us up with the wifi password. None of us wanted to leave Paradise. 

On Wednesday I was on exchanges with Elder Worsham. He's the Elder that I trained down in Chino Hills. We had a great time catching up, reliving old memories and all around just having a great day together!

Yesterday the house finished off our first weekly poker touranement and your boy fell into second place after mistakes were made during the second to last hand. Sad day but we'll bounce back this week.

This week we also had interviews with the mission president. Two things, 
1) It was my last "regular" interview with the mission President.
2) As we waited we talked about preparing for general conference. I have been going through my notes from past conferences, the questions I had, the notes taken and the talks given. Should definitely help this conference to be a good one and I encourage all of you to do something similar to prepare!

I love you all and hope you stay safe!

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
