Busy Busy Busy

This past week has been amazing. 

 Monday we started with some soccer and that night we chased a lost rottweiler. Then we tore out a mans fence for him and picked apples. Earlier in the week we had "exchanges" and once again I was with my 1st companion/trainer so that was fun. We drove around and taught some good lessons, I learn alot from that little man. Helped a family move a huge bed too. 

 Later in the week 4 of us helped that same family move things from a storage shed to a U Haul truck. This week we had plenty of good lessons and we have (with the help of our Heavenly Father and church members) found more people to teach so thats been fun. 

 Me and Elder Shultis are very unified in our teaching so that has been good. We get along very well so thats always a plus. 

 Went to yet another halloween party for one of the wards were over, had a baptism for a girl we teach. Yesterday we had some back to back awesome lessons too. 

 You really do learn how to enjoy the mission but also get the work done efficiently too. This can be applied to our lives too. Yeah life is a wild and difficult journey but theres no need to go through this journey without joy. 

 I love you all and pray for many of you. Keep having joy!

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...
