comps, but the proof came later, when I roomed with a subsequent companion of his, at BYU. He had told my now-roommate all sorts of false things that supposedly had happened while we were comps. Some were wild exaggerations, some were just plain old fabrications. We also compared notes on stories he had told both of us, and there were big inconsistencies in his accounts, sometimes direct contradictions.
It was actually sad to realize that he was basically a pathalogical liar. And it seemed to work on our mission pres, who made him an AP.
