Week 38: Week 6

Well this is the last week of this transfer. To be honest this transfer has been going by pretty quickly so we'll see how the last week goes. We don't really know if either (or both I guess) of us are going to get transferred so we'll see but up until this point it's been a pretty good time. The Bear Valley Ward is so awesome! We've been trying our best to do as much work here as we can and turn the area around and we haven't really seen THAT much success but we feel good about our efforts. We are still working with Vivian. We talked with her and pushed her baptism date back to the beginning of March but she's made some big improvements with her smoking and the Ward has really welcomed her and made her feel at home so we feel confident that eventually she'll get into the water and make her first covenants. 

On Thursday we went down to Rancho for a Mission Leadership Council meeting and it was nice like always to see some green again and be able to breathe some (very polluted) fresh air and most importantly some very nice and very expensive cars. Since last Monday I had a little bit of a cold coming on so I was in the back creating a disturbance with my sniffing and coughing but luckily it really wasn't too bad. Woke up Friday though and my whole body just ached and I was SO tired. Sounded like a pack-a-day smoker so we stayed in to spare the outside world of my disease and so I could sleep for a grand total of like 16 hours. Felt real nice.

On Wednesday I was on exchanges in the Spanish area so I pretty much just got to sit back and relax because I know next to nothing in Spanish. Shame on me for not taking it in High School like every other person in America. Other than that nothing else to report really. The Patriots didn't win the Super Bowl so that's the best thing to happen so far this year.

Next week I'll either be emailing you from the same spot or somewhere new!

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"...
