Elder Bronson Scott Puzey

Sorry fam not too much time to write today. We spent a lot of our time this week doing service. It's been raining a lot more than usual so green weeds are popping up in everyone's yards and they want them gone. Can't hardly believe these desert people want the only green they ever see out of their brown yards. Speaking of green yards though, we had a zone activity at a bishop's house today and man was it nice!! The pictures will describe it a lot better but there was a basketball court, volleyball net, two fire places, ping pong table and they even hooked us up with the wifi password. None of us wanted to leave Paradise.  On Wednesday I was on exchanges with Elder Worsham. He's the Elder that I trained down in Chino Hills. We had a great time catching up, reliving old memories and all around just having a great day together! Yesterday the house finished off our first weekly poker touranement and your boy fell into second place after mistakes were made du...

Just spent a couple hours washing and cleaning the truck so now I have no time to email. Sorry gang Highlights: Tuesday: had zone conference where we received some good instructions and trainings. Wednesday: I was on exchanges with Elder Brower. He is a great missionary and we spent the day teaching people and talking a lot about life (girls). Friday: got to do a lot of service. We also got in contact with a really cool woman that had her name removed from the church but still loves missionaries. We had a nerf war with them. Saturday: in the morning we were invited to go on splits with the stake presidency. Little did we know there was an area 70 there, Elder Murray. So we were under dressed a little. I went with one of the stake presidency counselors and we got to visit a couple people. Then we got some life and marriage advice from everyone once we got back and had lunch together. Sunday: stake conference and I got to see a bunch of people from the Bear Valley ward. Got...

A member recently told us that the Indians named this place Hesperia because all the clouds seem to go around it and it looks like there's always a hole in the sky. Just a fun fact for all of your who weren't wondering what Hesperia meant.  Some good news before the sad news. On Wednesday I was on exchanges with Elder Willes, we were zone leaders back in Rancho Cucamonga and now he's an assistant to the President so we got to go on exchanges! It was really fun to be back with him. He's a really diligent and hard working missionary and I just knew the day was going to go well and it did! We had a few lessons, taught someone new, did some service, got some In-n-out, tracted a couple doors and talked A LOT.  On Saturday I was on exchanges with Elder Crandall and it was a blast. At one point of the day we found ourselves really close to the family that I taught in the Bear Valley ward here in Hesperia. They got baptized in October which I was able to come up for but...

Sorry guys not much time again today. This week was pretty rough not gonna lie. Here's a list of less fortunate things that happened: One of our investigators ran away from home.  One of our investigator's dad went through a heart attack. The family we have on date canceled all three appointments for this week.  No one showed up to church.  We let some other missionaries borrow a key to the church and they lost it.  Luckily life is still good. We've been back on the work out grind. One of the other missionaries I live with, Elder Crandall, and I have been hitting the gym hard. We got the truck washed up today, beautiful 60 degree day here in California. Yesterday we had a missionary fireside for all the recent converts and people being taught in the desert and my old comp, Elder Dietrich gave a talk so I got to see him. It was super good.  Other than that we're really hoping this next week goes a little better than last week. As always I...
