Week 95: Urgent Care Trip

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 had not seen them since so it was a good visit. Then right before we were going to have dinner we got a call from our companions who were together and told us that they needed a ride to the urgent care. Luckily no Tiwi violations but we got there pretty quick. Anyways nothing major but one of them were having some pains and thought there might be a UTI involved but turns out might just be a small kidney stone. We'll know more later. So that was fun. After a trip to the urgent care we thought a good way to end the night would be some Cafe Rio and some Mexican ice cream. (Which I got too much of and thought I was going to die.)

The sad news is that my favorite person we're teaching, Jesus, is moving!! We taught him the Law of Chastity like a month ago and it's clearly been a struggle for him cause his girlfriend is now expecting... Anyways he is moving in with her because his parents are moving somewhere else and his work is closer to where she lives. Pray for Jesus please. I think with everything that's happened it'll help him see how important the gospel (and commandments) is. 

Earlier today we went on a hike. I'll send pictures. It was a good time and no one got hurt! As always I love and miss you all very much!

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
