Well, let me just tell you a few things that Elder
Holland said and did. He got loud a few times, of course, but with the Spirit so it was awesome! We all go up and shake his hand and we told
him our name and where we were from. When Elder Holland gets up he
tells us " I don't know if you know, but we interviewed every single one
of you. When you came up and shook my hand, I asked you who you were and
where you were from but to be honest, I don't really care about either one
of those things. I just needed enough time to look into your eyes...
and see your soul. And as a compliment, President Patterson, your mission
is good in the soul department." So yeah, Elder Holland saw into my
soul. It was pretty sweet. He told us all about how there is a gap
between us and our investigators and we need to get down to their level
and then lift them up. We read John 3:4 and Holland said " That is the
stupidest response in all of recorded scripture! " he said something
like that and it was soo funny and low key savage. But he went further
into it and showed how there was a gap between what Jesus was explaining
and what Nicodemus was understanding. It was sweet. He is just a funny, super
loving guy.
We had some interesting lessons this week. One was with a guy and he brought his friend. His friend is named Chuck. Chuck thinks he is a prophet. He was telling us about the Bible, because he has studied it on his own for the last 26 years and he
tells us that everything is going to happen in Palm Springs and
something went down with this Church called the World Wide Church of Christ and it was foretold in Psalms. Everything kinda is dependent
on him because he told us that he found out that the Second Coming will
happen when his ex-wife remarries him. Yup, it's a good one. He is
for real trying to start his own church.
Then we had another lesson with a lady from Germany and she is super
nice but she just likes to take everything that she likes from every
religion and make her own thing. The lesson was just kind of all over
the place but she is funny so it was enjoyable, ha.
Still working hard doing the Lord's work
love you guys
love Elder Richards
