Week 15: 15 and Pregnant

Editor's Note: Elder Puzey did not send any pics this week so attaching one his sister took while traveling through his mission this week while going to Disneyland. No she did not stop, but as a mom it is weird to think they are so close to each other right now!

 So this week has been back to the normal grind. Not too much to report but we should be having a baptism coming up in a few weeks if everything continues as planned. Right now Elder Etheridge and I are down the hill in Rancho Cucamonga. Elder Etheridge is being whitewashed into the Big Bear area which is like a resort place that a lot of people visit to go hiking/skiing/ other recreational activities. I am staying put in Adelanto/Samoan and I will find out who my son is (the new missionary I'll be training) tomorrow, so that's exciting.  

I'm sorry that there isn't too much to report this week, I'm sure next week will be more interesting. I just want to remind y'all how important missionary work is. Even though most of you reading this are not set apart to do this 24/7 for 18-24 months, you are still called to the work. As members of this church we have covenanted to bring our other brothers and sisters to the same knowledge that we have. To help y'all get a little motivated I'm attaching a couple mission songs that gets us a little more pumped up when we don't feel like tracting to the last house.

Love you all very much, prayers go out to all of those in Texas right now.
Love, Elder Puzey

Week 28: The Liahona

Image
So we've been here for a week now so we're starting to get things figured out. This week actually flew by for me cause we were super busy! So Monday was transfers and that takes the whole day so that was over instantly. On Tuesday we were down in Rancho again to help bring up the luggage of the new missionaries in our zone. On Thursdays the assistants came up to the desert to talk to us and the other two zone leaders in our stake. All four of us have never been zone leaders before and have never had a companion that was a zone leader so they answered the questions that we had and walked us through some of our responsibilities and such. It was much needed. On Saturday we were back down in Rancho (I'm not complaining cause I love the valley) to go on exchanges with the APs. They live in the backyard of a members house and they call it a barn but the inside is exactly like a house and it is so nice! It's probably 3 times the size of our apartment. While on exchanges Elder ...

Week 49: #findjohn

Well this week wasn't too eventful in the teaching department. We did teach a new investigator named Don on Tuesday. He is Catholic and his son goes to Notre Dame so he has a pretty good understanding about authority. He seemed surprisingly accepting of the different things that we taught and he had real questions to ask us. He wondered if John was the last Apostle and if he never died then why isn't the whole world trying to find John? He said that with all the technology we have and phones and pictures that it should be easy for us to find him. He was mostly joking at this point but he brings up a good point. I think we should all try to find John. He's probably got a lot of stories he could tell us throughout the years. Maybe next time we go to teach Don we can tell him about the three Nephites?? Just kidding. I'm really enjoying living here in Rancho Cucamonga. It reminds me of California which I guess makes sense but being in the desert for 10 months made...

Week 1: World War

Image
The first day at the MTC feels like you're in a tornado with whirlwinds and shafts in the whirlwinds. It's fast paced and everything is new. Luckily there is always someone to point you in the right direction. Not even 20 minutes being here and our new district is in the classroom which is where we meet our companions for the first time. My companion is Elder Jensen who is from Bountiful and spent a year at Utah State. The other two elders are our roommates for our stay at the MTC. I'll save y'all the boring information about our time in the classroom and just get to the good stuff. The story behind the title originates on the first floor of our residence building. That is where all of the language missionaries are staying so many of them have been there for nine weeks and some even up to twelve. When we first moved in one of the elders on our floor lead us to the first floor to get drinks from the vending machine. He told us to prepare for the "World War"...
