Elder Bronson Scott Puzey

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...

Week 84: Merry Christmas I love you all! Make sure to light your faith during this Christmas celebration. Love, Elder Puzey

On Saturday morning we helped with the ward's Christmas party. We had breakfast with Santa. There were pancakes and cinnamon rolls, so good!!  This week we got to do a lot of service to help light the world. On Thursday we did our usual service at the local community farm with some of the elders from the zone.  Then Thursday night we got to go to a members house and Elder Palacios was tasked with going under the house to run a cable for them.  Then on Friday we got to go to another members house to help with Christmas lights and their tree. Every year that I can remember I've helped my grandparents with their Christmas lights every year so it was nice to continue the tradition way out here!  This week we FINALLY caught one of our potentials at home. Her name is Christina and we first talked to her like three weeks ago. We got to talk to her about the plan of salvation but she had lots of questions so we were kinda all over the place. She told us to te...

Well on Wednesday and Thursday it rained a TON. Those two days probably had more inches of rain than every other day on my mission combined. We don't have very many miles and we didn't want our bikes to become rusty paper weights so most of those two days were spent walking. We got soaked to the bone haha. Reminded me a lot of Seattle.  Saturday we had some good things happen. We were going around and trying some people that had shown some interest and as we were walking up to one he was standing outside eating breakfast. So we finally caught him home and got to teach him out in the front yard. My face started to boil but hey we taught someone new! We couldn't really gauge how interested he was so I guess we'll see if he holds up on the return appointment.  Yesterday we saw some mini miracles as well. We went to try a potential and when we got there they weren't home so we went a couple doors down and saw that another one of our potentials was working o...

So on Saturday we had our world wide day of service. Our day started off by going to help a member of the ward move. Luckily their new place is still in the area boundaries so we didn't lose them. After helping them move we went over to Larry's house to help with some cleaning. He's pretty old so his ability to clean isn't stellar but he tries. He has to spend most of his energy keeping the front room and kitchen clean since none of his grandchildren and responsible enough to do it. Thus he has no energy to clean his own room. We spent about 5 hours there de-cluttering and getting things tidy. Then he took us out to eat at some chinese place and it was pretty good. Overall it was some quality time with Larry. Then we went to the church and we mopped the whole gym because ball is life. Sunday rolls around and we finally taught someone new. Her name is Star and she's a referral from some other missionaries. We had contacted her earlier and set up a return appointm...
