Hey everybody!!
So this place is CRAZY!!! Kelso is pretty much like a suburb of a place called Longview, which consists of 40,000 people. Kelso though has just over 4000 people! So I cover that ward that consists of Kelso, and another ward which is called the Castle Rock ward. Castle Rock is a town of 2000 people up further into the mountains; Mt. St. Helen is in the ward borders so I can say I served on Mt. St Helens haha. It's amazing how much work there is here! We are teaching a bunch of part member families and it has been great getting to know the people here! It's sad because my 2 wards attend separate building so we have to switch off which ward we go to, so we don’t get to know the members very well, which is sad :(
We've had some pretty neat adventures here! WE may have got chased out of a community and almost hit head on and stuff but we're doing good and nothing can stop the work from progressing :) I'll have to tell you those stories when I get home!
There is one investigator that is way cool and way solid, his name is Jake. He is engaged to a member of the ward and is excited to get baptized pretty soon! We had an amazing lesson with him about covenants and what they mean and how they can bless his life. What is really cool is he already has an eternal perspective, because both he and his fiancé talk about how they want to be married in the temple, and it is really awesome just feeding his want for knowledge rather than trying to convince him these things can bless his life!
Well that is my week! Hope you all have a wonderful day!
Love,
Elder Pickett
