President Uchtdorf

Hello everybody I hope every one enjoyed their 4th of July! This week
was good, the coolest part of the week was when we went to go see
President Uchtdorf speak at a sacrament meeting in Manhattan 1st ward.
It was awesome. It was a fast and testimony meeting so only his
grandson, his daughter, wife and him that spoke. And then after the
sacrament we got to take a picture with him with all the missionaries
in the mission.(I don't have that picture yet)

President Uchtdorf spoke about a lot of things but what stuck out to
me the most is when he was talking about repentance and how awesome it
is. He said that everyday can and should be a new day and it didn't
matter what we did in the past, we can just repent and move on with
our lives and try to be as good as we can. Being there with him in the
same room was an awesome experience and when he spoke I can just feel
how much love he had for me and for everybody in that sacrament room
even if he didn't know them. It is really cool to know that God really
speaks to people on earth today and just to hear in person an apostle
of God say that he knows that God and Jesus Christ live and that he is
a witness of all these things is really amazing, is was a neat
experience and a testimony builder for sure.

Staying Busy

Hello everybody, happy late Father's Day to all the dads I didn't say
it in my last email, I hope it was good for everybody.

Our week was good, it was really busy now that there's only us 2 in
the ward. We pretty much just have been running around like crazy from
one appointment to another because we also took the other elder
investigators and a lot of he members that they visited also want us
to come over so right now it's crazy and the worst part about this is
that a lot of the people can only meet with us at the same times so we
will have to plan out our week tomorrow so things are not as crazy as
they were this week.

So Jorge Guevara is having his baptismal interview this Monday we are
excited for him and his family. This week we had a really good lesson
with him and the bishop. Also his wife bore a really powerful
testimony so all those things helped him. He is the closes one to get
baptized but we have other people that we are working with that could
be baptized in the next couple of weeks.

That's pretty much it for now have a great week.

Love,
Elder pugmire

The last melon😳🍉

So I got a new companion on yesterday, elder troutman is his name he
came up here from the Bronx. After one day in the area so far he
really likes it. So elder Allan and elder Holmes the Elders that were
in our ward were also transferred out and they combined out areas
together, so now we have 2 areas to work with, so that means that we
are gonna be really busy this cycle so that's good.

This past week all we have been doing is just going to say goodbye to
everybody that elder frei wanted to visit because he went home. Also
on Sunday Rosi was confirmed a member and she really liked it, she
said that it was a really nice experience for her and now she wants
her kids to get baptized also.

That's pretty much it for this week.

Love,
Elder Pugmire

9 investigators and 1 baptismal date!

Hello everybody!

So this week was awesome! We had 9 investigators at church and we got
1 more investigator to commit to a baptismal date.

We also had the baptism of Rosi and that was a really good baptism,
she was really happy and very excited for this day, the very first Tim
este was found was 5 years ago and the missionaries were teaching her
and she came to church for 1 year straight but since she was living
with her boyfriend she was not able to get baptized, now she is not
with him and she got baptized!!!! Her son and daughter and her brother
came to support her on this day. And after we had like a lunch/dinner
thing afterwards.

Something crazy that happened this week was, so last Wednesday we
finished up pday went out at 6 had a appointment came back home to get
ready for bed and went to sleep about like an hour and a half later my
comp wakes me and tell me Elder I need to go to the hospital, I was
like what the heck are you sure it's like midnight and then he said
yes i can't go to sleep I think I have hives, i was like what the heck
is hives, apperently it's like a rash, I though he could have waited
until the morning but he insisted on going in the night so we got up
got dressed and we went to the garage to get the car started driving
to the hospital, got to the hospital when we got there I was like
elder do you have cash to pay for parking he's like no, I don't even
have my wallet. So we turned around had to go to the bank i pulled out
some cash we went back, we had to wait there for a while maybe like an
hour before they could do anything and so we were just sitting there,
pretty much all they did was give him a shot or something like that
and we didn't come back home until like 3:30 so we slept in that next
day.

Also we get transfer calls to this Saturday we we will see who I get
for my last comp.🙂 elder frei is going home.
