I'm getting transferred to Pittsburgh! I was excited to experience a
car for the first time until I realized I am getting transferred to
another walk area... So ya I'm going to be walking around Pittsburgh
so it should be cool.
It was hard to say bye to this amazing ward. Williamsport has become
my family and it was hard to say bye but I'm excited to see my next
ward and area. I will be companions with Elder Butikofer. I have never
met him but he has just gotten done training so I will be his second
companion!
So Williamsport is starting to fill up with Golden investigators!
Janet is doing amazing and has started to see how much happiness this
gospel brings her. She keeps every commitment we give her and she is
stoked to be baptized. Natesha and her kids come to church every week
and her kids came up to us and asked if they could be baptized so we
picked up a family full of investigators! We visited a new
investigator named Anton he is a huge black that is so cool he loves
spiritual conversations and is so open to our message. He wants us to
come meet with him every week. I'm glad to be leaving Williamsport
knowing the next missionaries will have some bomb investigators.
So I got into a bible bash on Tuesday. We were trying old
investigators from a long time ago and we knock on this door that is
like connected to a church. (Already a bad sign) And this guy named
Joel comes out and he just starts ripping on the Book of Mormon. He
says that he can only believe something that has facts and proof. He
says because he can't trace the Book of Mormon back to its original
text like he can the bible he says it's not true and that we are going
off of a subjective view! I asked him if he needed proof and hard
facts for everything. He said yes and it probably wasn't the best
thing to say but I was tired of being yelled so I looked at him and
said "where is your faith?" He looked at me and flat at said "faith is
subjective. Anyone can argue with it." After that I knew there was no
hope for this guy so I just shared his hand and walked away. I hate
bible bashes so much because I tried to feel the spirit in lessons and
a bash just makes it so the spirit can't be there . And you can't
teach without the spirit so... In other words bashes are a waste of
time.
Well that was my week it was full of good byes, bashes, and awesome
investigators! Being a missionary is the absolute best calling in the
world and I have determined I am going to be a missionary for life.
