A Christmas To Remember

Image
Hey yall sorry no email last week. P day got moved from Monday to Christmas day (Friday) but we had a lot going on that day so I ran out of time, but here we are. I don't wanna make this 6 million pages so here we go. Story 1: The other day we went to this new street to talk to some people. Everyone we talked to said they were Apostolic. Apparently that's a religion. I had never heard of it. They were all on this one street and they all have they meetings in someone's house. They were all a little off. Like one lady like probably made eye contact once in like 20 minutes we talked to her. We were telling and without saying anything she just got up, walked to her backyard gate and disappeared without saying anything. Let's start with moving day, Friday the 18th. We moved into our new apartment in Moorpark. It's a nice apartment. My comp and I are still living with the ZLs so that's fun. We live in the same complex as the other elders in our district. So there are ...

So first week with a new companion! So there are two Elders in our zone who asked Elder Ozuna and I to como to a visit with them with one of their investigators. (English visit) So the 4 of us are at this park with this dude named Jose. wow Jose can go from one topic to the next very quickly. We were talking about our life here on earth and then somehow he got to talking about directors and then movies and then he said "lots of people love Harry Potter but I don't. God is not like Harry Potter,  Harry Potter is just some kid with Glasses". Then IDK how he got to this but he started talking about how he likes water and on and on.... Ya he was actually pretty funny. He was cool.  I read some cool stuff the other day.  Alma 26:  This is Ammon (son of Mosiah) who is on a mission teaching the Nephites  Versus 11-12 specifically  11 But Ammon said unto him: I do not boast in my own strength, nor in my own wisdom; but behold, my joy is full, yea, my heart is brim ...

I LOVE BEING A MISSIONARY! OK this has been one of the crazzzyest weeks of my mission! Story 1: So yesterday we had someone tell us that God is just love all around us so "I don't need to go to church" 2: I had an interesting conversation with someone yesterday over the phone. Basically we talked about how he believes that the God head (Heavenly Father, Jesus, Christ, and the Holy Ghost) are one person. He said those three names are titles. He even tried to tell me about some Bible stories that he tried to use to tell me that they were one person. But those stories actually prove that they are three different people. Like Jesus's baptism. Remember in the Bible, when Jesus was baptized, Jesus was in the water, God was in the Heavens saying "This is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased", and The Holy Ghost was in the form of a dove.  OK so about the title. My companion Elder Ogden was called to be the new assistant to the president. To be an assistant you ...
