1 YEAR OUT

I have made it a year out on the mission here in Boise! Crazy how time flies. We had a good week this week. Everything we did this week was centered on General conference. General conference (for all my friends who get this that dont know what that is) is where the Prophet, Apostles, some of the Seventy, and other servants of God speak about the Savior and about what we can all do to get through our crazy lives and have joy. 

 Tuesday we had a council with our District about our goals for inviting people to watch it and someone brought some glasses and hats for their birthday which was fun. Then we invited about 15 people to watch general conference. 

 Wednesday we were able to invite 32 people to watch it and we had a great appointment with a girl who will probably get baptized in the next few months. 

 Thursday we planned, and invited 70 people to watch general conference which took lots of biking and work. 

 Friday we went as hard as possible and invited 190 people to watch general conference. We even used all of our flyers by the evening and we verbally told strangers about general conference which was fun. We also had a great visit with our columbian amigo Alex, we all have a great time together and he loves the gospel. 

 Saturday we watched general conference and gave a lady a Book of Mormon who wants us to come back and teach her. Saturday night we burned a shirt to celebrate my 1 year. 

 Sunday we watched more General conference. It was cool because i read lots of the end of the book of Hebrews that morning and lots of conference was based on things i read. There was also a good quote shared "Repentance is not an event, its a process". And thats very true, not easy trying to be like Jesus, but its a joyful process! 

 Love you all, 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...
