Service Filled week

I had a good week up here in Boise. We did lots of service and its only taught me more about Jesus Christs selfless example for all of us. 

 Monday evening we helped an older couple cut up wood and take out a tree. 

 Tuesday we went to the food bank and filed papers. Then we dropped off some food for a lady we see that couldnt afford food this week. Then we went to an italian ladys house and raked her lawn for her. That night we visited a lady coming back to church and taught her about Repentance. 

 Wednesday we had a zone conference and we had "zone games" where we did a bunch of activities like an obstacle course, shooting hoops, and playing volleyball which was really fun. I also got to see 3 of my past companions there. 

 Thursday i saw a guy that went to high school with my grandpa which was interesting. That evening we went to our Book of Mormon class and we had good conversations about the gospel. 

 Friday we had exchanges and we had a good time. We mowed a lawn, a big piece of wood fell over and barely missed my head. Talked to a family from Malaysia, had 2 appointments cancel. 

 Saturday we did 7 hours of service straight. Moved boxes for people and did lots of yard work. Then we had 2 appointments that went well. 

 Sunday we had church and we spoke in one of our wards. Both me and Elder Morgan spoke about Missionary work. Then we had a good discussion with a boy in the evening and answered questions his father had about the gospel. 

 Well that was the week this week. Always a good time spreading the good news. Remember the Holy Ghost is what we should all try our best to have with us, if we can do that then we will know truth and error and we will be open to more revelation. Have agood week everyone!

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...
