Week 89: Look mom I touched the net

Another great week here in Hesperia! It's been so nice to spend so much time teaching. We've been able to continue to meet with Jade and help her keep on preparing for her baptism on February 9th. She's doing really well and it doesn't look like anything is going to change. We were blessed with the opportunity to have President Nickolaisen join us for a lesson with the X family. Because we're having a convert baptism and a re-baptism he was able to set everything up for their baptism service on the 9th of February. Our next lesson will be at the church so we can show them the font and get their baptismal jumpsuits! 

The Ibarra family was able to come to church again and this time Steve, a boyfriend, was able to come as well! They stayed for both hours and everyone seemed comfortable going to their organizations for second hour. Most of our lessons with them are at a member's house which has been a huge help. 

We had our Stake Coordination meeting on Thursday and it was pretty amazing to see the difference in the stake from a year ago to now. It has helped to remind me that a lot of missionary work that we do will go seemingly  unknown but will eventually yield fruits. Makes me feel bad that missionaries can't always be there to reap their own fruits but also reminds me that the work I do could benefit a missionary years down the line.

We had a meeting with the district leaders and our one sister training leader on Friday where we were able to talk about some miscellaneous stuff. We had good discussions about how to help struggling missionaries as their leaders and also took some time to talk about stewardship. That was a good chance to minister to our district leaders and STL, answer questions and set some goals. The zone has a good group of missionaries and I'm not just saying that because two of them are missionaries I've trained. 

We played some basketball this morning, it's been really nice to have some good basketball every week. Then we all got lunch together at Chipotle and had a jolly ol time. Your boy grabbed rim with both hands for the first time today so we're getting close to ready for those college intramurals.

Love you all very much and hope you have a great week!

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
