Transfer happened, nothing crazy happened except that I left my Canadian trainee for a new one, who is from Pocatello,ID. We work in Seaside and Astoria Oregon, basically 2 hours all around the surrounding areas, so naturally, we walk the beach all the time, and the church is PACKED with members visiting from all over the world. It was so sick and anyways this has been a long week of changes so I'll keep this email short.
We make covenants to spiritually wash, prepare, and receive the spirit of revelation, Joseph Smith recounts in his history (in correlation with Doctrine and Covenants 20) that even after he SAW GOD AND JESUS CHRIST he was still subject to "levity" (kind of like kiddishness or lightmindedness for all of you except my Mom or Mrs. Daley or Mrs.Tolliver) and that takes me back to a video I was watching that says that - that is the opposite of Virtue, which is the EFFORTFUL attempts to keep a clean and focused mind, and its a difficult attribute of Christ to attain because if we don't rely on Christ and the spirit to take the load off of us it will be very taxing in the long run.
(I think President Nelson talked about this a bit in his general conference talk but the friend we had watching it when he was going was asking what a Prophet was so we didn't pay attention to his talk and helped him understand why he is so AWESOME... AND IMPORTANT)
Ok love you all talk to you soon!
Sincerely,
Elder Lucas Witte

Astoria is the best. Mucho different than when we went here as a family 2 summers ago.
