Week 7, first baptism! Free bike!

Hey everyone, have had a great week. 

 To start off I went to my first baptism here in Boise of our little man and Investigator. Hes a great 9 year old boy who was able to decide to be baptized. The holy ghost was felt very strongly. 

The next day the bike I have been borrowing from a family decided to let me have it, I offered them money but they knew I couldnt afford how much it was worth. The church members are very nice and helpful out here. 

 We did plenty of service this week at a thrift store warehouse, a refugee donation company and shoveled dirt for the one and only Big Reds new pool. 

 We had plenty of lessons this week and we are planning to have another baptism this saturday too. Then another baptism possibly in a few weeks. Very busy out here! 

 Rained a few times while we were walking/biking and got our white shirts messy but its all good. 

 We have been teaching a lady thats a little slower and she thought in the new testament when it says something like 70 times 7 is the number of times youll be forgiven and thats it youre damned but we had to explain its a parable. Those of you that know me know that im a laugher so I was trying hard to not laugh at loud. We got another investigator who loves to talk to us about doctor who and boy its funny. 

 Were visiting the Boise State stadium in a few hours which will  be sweet. Heres some pictures...

we actually become something greater as we go through life

9/2: we played sports with a bunch of other missionaries. A member of the church from Mountain Home got us dinner at Tucanos which was great 9/3: Elder Nelson woke up sick. A member called and told us how we had "P day then Poo day". Since I didnt want to sit around all day me and one of the missionaries that lives with us went out. We had a good study/talk about how our heart needs to be in the right place as we follow Christ. It's useless just going through the motions. We volunteered at the Idaho Youth Ranch, then gave a lady a blessing.  9/4: Nothing crazy, just studied in the bible with one man we're teaching 9/5: After studying we got into our minivan and Elder Nelson tried turning the key and it wouldn't turn in the ignition. He tried a couple times and then I tried once and we were good to go. We helped a man move a bunch of rocks with buckets. Then that evening we helped a family move stuff from a storage shed.  9/6: Had a Council with so...

Been a great week this week, got tons of stuff done as always.  Monday  we played volleyball and some chair soccer with our district.  Tuesday  me and Elder Thompson started off the day with some studies at the church.  We felt prompted to bring 2 book of mormons with us to the church building. We brought them and while we studied 3 refugees from Kenya came up to the door, they needed directions and we helped them then we taught them about the book of mormon and they wanted not one book, but two.  Later that day we were making visits and we spotted a wiener dog running around. Work was going slow so we decided to follow it. As we were following the dog we thought of a boy we could go visit. A mile later this dog ran to the door of the boys house we were gonna go in. Then the boy opened the door and it happened to be his dog a mile away. Pretty interesting haha.  Then we aqgain felt like grabbing a book of mormon and carrying it with us which is n...
