He loved Colville, one of the prettiest areas he has served
The title says everything there is to know about transfers!! Oh and by the way we have transfers this week if I didn't clarify right there! Sorry I forgot!! 😂 Yeah so I am leaving the Colville 2nd Ward and Northport Branch! President decided to pull Elder Hair and I out! Something I was surprised about!! We talked about it but I didn't know it would actually happen!! 😂 My new area is the Davenport Branch!! I am sweeping in with my new Companion Elder Andrews!! I don't know who he is, I have never met him before, but people tell me all the time that he is really cool!! Its my 5th area and my 12th companion so this is going to be fun!! I am really excited!! Anyways this week was really awesome!! We got to go down to Spokane again for another meeting!! Elder Golden of the Seventy came down to talk to us!! It was so cool! Since we just had Elder Holland come talk to us 2 weeks ago, and now we got to hear from him!!
A quick story about the trip to Elder Golden, so from Colville, Spokane is 2 hours away. Deer Park is still an hour away from Spokane and Chewelah is right in the middle of both of Colville and Deer Park. So from Chewelah Spokane is about an hour and a half away. You still following me? This is all back story of course! ANYWAYS we stopped in Chewelah to get a drink, mind you we are driving on the Transfer Van with all the Missionaries in my Zone and being driven by a senior couple in the Mission, ANYWAYS enough with the back story! Again we stop in Chewelah to get a drink and lets just say I down the water I had by the time we got to Deer Park! So that means I had to pee, it wasn't that bad but it started at Deer Park and we still had an hour til Spokane...I was not about to be that guy that has to stop and go to the bathroom no way Jose!! We continue on the drive! We got to Spokane and I had to pee SO BAD!! I think that God has a sense of humor because we seemed to hit every Red light there is in the whole city of Spokane!! It was bad!! We got to the Stake Center and I had to pee so bad that my body was cramping up!! Probably the longest drive I have ever had in my life!!!! It was seriously so bad!! I was terrified that I was about to meet another General Authority with an accident in my pants!! I don't know what that had to do with anything or if I should have even told you all but I thought it was a funny story and I thought I would share!! 😂 Sorry if you all didn't like that!! 😂
One more story for the week!! We found 2 New investigators 2 weeks and they were both really promising! We went over and were expecting to have a really good lesson and to see them progress to baptism really fast! When we got there they both wanted to bash with us!! It was so frustrating!! One of them his name is Jim he claimed to have this 1830 Book of Mormon (In reality it was just a book of Mormon that said it was from 1830 when it wasn't and it had this guy that said he was the Author it was a joke) we gave him a Book of Mormon (The Real one) last time we saw him and had him read it and Pray about it! We came back the next time and he said he was comparing "Our" Book of Mormon with his, and he said that he went online to BYU and he said that "His" Book of Mormon and the one on BYU were the exact same! Also the one that he has, has a lot of changes compared to ours! He just couldn't get into his head that the one he had wasn't the real deal! So all I could do was testify of the Book of Mormon and challenge him again to forget BYU, the 1830 Book of Mormon, and read the dang Book and pray to see if its true! Because its either true or not and God will be the one to tell him! Then I went into the how he came to know the Bible to be true (he is very knowledgeable with the Bible BTW) he said he has read it and prayed about it. Comparing nothing to it because we don't have things to compare the Bible to be true! Then I asked him why was it different for the Book of Mormon then! He couldn't answer that and then tried to have me (not Elder Hair and I just me) read and pray about his 1830 Book of Mormon! Man did Elder Hair and I just lose it! Not in front of him of course! But we just told him that he isn't ready and that we wanted to end with a Prayer and leave! It was one of the dumbest lessons I have been in on my Mission! People suck my heavens!! So yeah that was my week!! It was a great one but now I am needed elsewhere in the Mission!! I am excited for these new challenges and experiences!! Lets go lets see what else he has in store for me!! Love you all so much!! Talk to you all later!!!! Love you all!!!
Love
