Week 81: Worldwide Day of Service

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 appointment. When we came back things went pretty well. She was super accepting and open so hopefully she'll follow through on commitments and progress. 

Today was transfers and Elder Palacios and I are both staying. I've been assigned to be a District Leader again. It's been over a year since the first time I got assigned to do that so we'll see if I can remember how to do it. 

Remember to continue looking for service opportunities during this week of Lighting the World. I hope everyone had a good day of service on Saturday and a good uplifting sabbath day yesterday.

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

Image
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
