"You work for Jesus Christ on Mondays?"

Well it was a great week this week. Today were gonna go to the temple which should be great. 

 Heres the highlights of the week:

*had a water balloon fight for our activity with other missionaries on Monday

*started teaching a ladys granddaughter, she loved learning the 10 commandments

*helped out at the food bank, it was only us and one other person so we kept busy

*heard a good quote: "we are spiritual beings having a human experience"

*we were meeting with our columbian friend and we were scheduling a time to come back and we told him we could meet monday (memorial day) and he was like "you work for Jesus Christ on mondays?" Haha

*Sunday the family we ate with had Ghost pepper flakes so I had some of that. Ive realized I love spicy foods but my stomach doesn't

So it was a great week, had lots of appointments fall through but its a part of the Lords work. I also heard a great talk called "Life is a Football Game" by Troy Dunn (https://youtu.be/pdCP9RXqYK4). I invite all of you to listen to it, its good. Love you all, have a great week!

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...

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?...
