Progressing Slowly but Surely

It's been a great week, met lots of people and got a lot done! 

 We found some new people to teach and now have chosen to be baptized in the coming weeks which is exciting. Keeps us very joyful out here. 

 Met lots of people with interesting stories too. Talked to one man who heard voices and tried shooting himself in the face with a shotgun :( but evidently god still needs him here. Met another guy whos had a liver and kidney transplant. Met a pastor and discussed the bible with him for a while. 

 We also did some service at the Idaho Youth Ranch store, had exchanges (switch out companions for about a day) and I actually got to be with Elder Thompson, the missionary who trained me a few months ago which was fun, I always learn lots from that little man. 

 We found many people and had prayers answered almost immediately. One of the people we used to teach told us he was no longer interested but on that same day we taught a refugee family from Tanzania. We also were referred to an older lady who wants to be baptized. 

 So slowly but surely we are finding people who are ready to follow the example of our savior, Jesus Christ, and be baptized. I'm having a awesome time and great experiences out here in Boise being able to serve the people around me 24/7. 

 Love and appreciate all of you! May god be with you all!

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...
