So this week had some ups and downs! So, start with the downs....JACK CAN’T MEET WITH US ANYMORE :( :( XP X'(. Literally the saddest news of my life. He had left for Alberta for a couple weeks and he comes back saying that his family is upset with him for doing this and all that anti jazz that just breaks everything!!! GAH!!! So hard! He is just so good! He called us to let us know and I remember word for word what he said. "I am so sorry, but I do want you to know that I know that you are two good young fellows. And I know what you share is true..."
He is going to take us out to lunch today though and hopefully we can figure something out! So that hurt!
Of course we should always look at the bright side! We were able to meet with this guy named Emanuel...He is legit. Another pair of elders passed him off to us and we actually figured out that he is YSA. He is actually from Nigeria and understood and loved what we had to say! At the end of the lesson he said, "I want to read that book!" Well...sure...that sounds good. He also came to church and hopefully we will be passing him off to YSA next week!
Wayne’s been alright...kind of had to push him a little. Elder Hsu got all fiery with him during the lesson and it was awesome! Just testified hardcore! We also gave him a blessing for his recovery from his surgery! He should be coming to church soon!
Andrew is doing good. We had a lesson at the Howitts with them this past week and he liked it! Almost accepted a baptismal date. What stinks though is that he has a job for the next 2 weeks at the fair here in town so him coming to church is a no go :(...
OH!! Also met this guy named Tyler! The sisters passed us off to him and gave us 15 minutes to get to his place....Well he is so cool! He is like 28, and, long story short, he has seen and done quite a bit...He was crying while we were there and hopefully things will work out for him!
Last, but not least, we got transfer calls.....I’M STAYING!!!! Nothing like dying in COQUITLAM!!! My new companion is Elder Melus and he is so cool! He is this dude from a tiny island off the coast of the Philippines...STOKED??? YES!!!
Elder Hsu is going over to Burnaby and opening up a Chinese area. That’s spitting distance from Coquitlam so I will still see him! Gonna miss him though!
Sure love and miss yall!
Love
Elder McCown
