Week 8!



Just another week up here in Boise! Been extremely busy, Thursday was nuts. 

 So we got out of our morning lesson and elder Thompsons bike tire was flat for the 2 billionth time so we started walking and we had to do service 45 minutes away in 30 minutes. We prayed for help and not even 10 minutes passed and a church member picked us up, replaced the bike tube, and got us to our service. 

 After our service we went on to do a bunch more stuff, we were so busy we only spent 30 minutes of our day that day eating. And while we ate we studied. Then it topped off with a great lesson with a investigator. Then we needed our mission president to call us that night before 1030 to give us word on some things we needed. So we prayed he would be prompted to call us, 10 minutes later he called. Such great blessings, god hears us all for sure. 

 Been doing lots of bookwork lately too, which isnt too fun but its necessary. Last week we visited the BSU stadium (last monday) which was fun. Our investigator Chris may be getting baptized soon, our transfers (when missionaries are switched around areas or they stay) are coming up in several days so thats exciting. 

 Went throught the Boise temple this morning and it was awesome to be feeling the Holy Ghost so much. We get so muuch anti mormon stuff sometimes but it all comes down to the holy ghost, the only way we can recognize truth from our heavenly father is through the Holy Ghost, the most powerful thing out there. 

 Over and over we have less active church members and other people who like to bash, but then we invite them to read and just ask god. Simple as that. John 16;24 "ask and ye shall recieve that your joy may be full". As loony as the story of Joseph Smith sounds, it is very very true. The holy ghost shows the truth of all things, and it has shown me, and many others. 

 I remember we asked our investigator Chris what he felt (first day I was in Boise) and he pointed to his chest and said i feel good, i feel so happy (Galatians 5:22). Anyways its been awesome out here, its way way busy but man it is joyful. God bless you all, pray to him when you need something, in his own time he will answer.

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...

So much has happened and will be happening lately. Sadly President Bartlett leaves Friday and we get a new mission President, July 1st our mission merges with Nampas, and I left Boise (Maple Grove Street) for the first time in 14 months. Im now in a small city called Mountain Home and its been a good time. My new companion is Elder Bethers from Utah, were like day 1 homies and we've been together for 4 days now. Heres some highlights of the week: *studied in the bible with a man and had a good talk about the book of James *found a man who wanted us to come back and teach him, so we came back few days later and while we were teaching him he started snorting all his chewing tobacco which was strange. Then he started talking about a DUI he got and i saw a citation on his table and i asked if that was what he got and he said "oh no, that one was for pissing in public" haha. He wa salso drinking and at the end of the lesson we asked "Did you feel the spirit?...
