Farmington

Well everyone I made it to my new area and it’s been an adventure getting everything figured out and getting adjusted to all the new people. Leaving Estacada was like leaving home the 3rd time haha. After staying in Canby for 9 months and Estacada for 7, I pretty much just adjust to my new home. So it’s always hard to leave all the friends I made over there. 

 

Farmington is another rural area. We still cover a lot of country. But we also cover like 2 sections of Cedar hills and Hillsboro so that's where most of our people hang out. 

Just in my first 2 days I think we ended up having lessons with 5 atheists who just don't want to believe in God but for some reason they love reading the Book of Mormon so I'm still trying to figure out these city folks they do stuff a little goofy up here. 

 

My new companions are both pretty new. Elder Riggs is on his 4th transfer and Elder McGary is on his 3rd so he is just getting out of training. So now I just feel like an old man in mission age haha. 

Our first night was something else. So I show up to transfers and start loading up the car with my stuff and then me and Elder Riggs go and find Elder McGary and ask him where his stuff is....my man says "oh I forgot it at my last apartment" I'm like oh boy what did I get myself into. After getting that all figured out we show up to our apartment just to find out that Elder Riggs forgot to get another bed for one of us. So then we had to call the APs and get that all figured out. Just saying my patience was being tried but, All is well in Zion. 

 

I know I should leave you with some type of spiritual thought but I've already typed a lot so go read John 1:10
