Week 90: New Tiwi no chil

Well I've gotten the same amount of driving violations in these last two weeks than my whole mission combined so that's unfortunate. In my opinion the new tiwi is just too sensitive. 

So things have been going great here! I don't have too much time to update y'all but here's the basics:
1. We've been seeing a lot of miracles from contacting and trying people that have shown interest but just haven't had a lesson yet. We have had two people tell us that they've been waiting for missionaries to come back to see them! 
2. Jade and family X should be getting baptized this weekend. Jade just wants to let her dad know that she wants to get baptized and see what he thinks about it.
3. I've been loving my time in the mansion. We've been playing pool and working out most nights. It'll be a few years before I'll be able to live in a house like this again. 
4. Elder Dietrich is fantastic! We spend most of the day quoting movies, music or random vines. Couldn't be happier!
5. This week we have MLC which means we get to go back down to Rancho Cucamoga again and see all the old mission friends! Excited for a Rancho Trip as always.
6. The area is doing well still. We have a lot of people we're teaching. I'll save you all the boring details of what we've taught most recently but just know that people are coming to church and progressing and it's humbling to see. 

Fun for the week:
Because our whole zone did really well on our housing inspections the senior missionaries in charge of housing up here in the desert came over yesterday and showed us how to make some bomb pasta, tasty!

Sorry it's sorta short. I've been having too much fun out here to have a lot of emailing time. Don't worry though, I've redoubled my efforts to write in my journal more consistently. 
Love you all!

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
