Week 40 - YOU WONT BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED

Oh man guys this transfer has been so good like it's been crazy!!!

Now that I have your attention, would you all turn to 2 Kings 5. This chapter is a beautifully written lesson on Christ's Atonement. There is a king named Naaman and he has leprosy. Which is bad. And he hears about this guy named Elisha who can heal people and hes like dang I need some of that so he sends his servant to go get Elisha. Well Elisha probably has a lot going on being the prophet and such so instead of going, he sends a message back with the servant that all Naaman needs to be healed is go wash in the River Jordan 7 times. Naaman is heckin pissed. Hes like what the crap isnt there better rivers for me to wash in and also why wont he come see me I'm hecka important. He decides hes not going to do it and then his servant was like bro come on, if he had told you to go on this crazy adventure to be healed you probably would have done it right? Its gonna be so easy just go swim around for a few minutes and you will be healed like it's worth a shot. And so Naaman is like fine I will do it. And hes HEALED wow crazy. Anyway that's like exactly how it is with us and Jesus Christ. It's so easy to be healed all we have to do is repent and ITS SO EASY. Anyway yeah. 

I wasn't actually gonna click-bait because like this transfer has actually been so freakin good you have no idea but then I was like here's a good story so yeah.

 We came into this area with nobody to teach. NO ONE. and guess how many we have now? WE HAVE 9 PEOPLE WE ARE TEACHING CONSISTENTLY. That's crazy. Especially for Washington. 

There's so much to talk about. Gina is super elect and she wants to come to church and everything but her boyfriend is being way lame and he keeps bringing up anti and Gina is defending us and it's just a really weird dynamic but we will find a way.

Charlene is this sweet old lady (shes 95!!) that we tracted into and we asked if she needed any service and she was like yeah will you cut down those trees and we were like heck yeah. We got brother martin who does it professionally and we cut those bad boys down. Then we asked if she needed anything else and she asked if we had a way to get rid of all her junk so we got Brother Johnson to bring his truck and we loaded up a bunch of stuff to take to the dump. She mentioned how her toilets are leaking so we got Brother Moulton to come over and check it out and now we are replacing the mechanisms on Tuesday. And shes reading the book of mormon. It's straight up like Ammon and being a diligent servant so that they will hear your message. And we love her shes so funny. And such a sweetheart. 

We are teaching Forest every Wednesday and hes slowly learning and I think he will eventually realize what we are teaching is true. He watched some of general conference (and we forgot to invite him to do it too oops) and we will talk about that on Wednesday.

Ed is such a chill guy. We are kinda just buddies but then a week ago he kinda just opened up about religion and we were able to teach him. All he has to do is put in some effort but he doesn't see the reason because hes so happy where hes at now. We will show him if u known what I'm sayin. 👨🏫

Larry is freakin crazy we don't know what we are going to do with him but we are helping him out with his yard and we built a shelf or bench or desk or something with him we have no idea but hes happy with it. We told him we are dream building and he just adored that term. He kept saying it he was like oh man yeah we are dream building yes I love it.

Anyway other than that I don't know. It's way awesome in Brier. I'm learning a lot and it's been great. 

Read book of mormon pray amen.
