Romans 14:19

*Played volleyball with an exercise ball with some other missionaries back on Monday which was fun

*Had a conference in Boise with a bunch of other missionaries,  took some good notes from our mission President. One good thing he said was "if we can't think of a reason to do missionary, then at least we can trust in the Lord"

*Had a meeting with a man from one of our wards and after we had a meeting he was looking at me and said "whats sports did you play in high school because you're jacked!" It's been funny on the mission to here stuff like that because if you had seen me 3 years ago you'd never guess anyone would say that haha

*I've been thinking about going into physical therapy after the mission and so of course Monday night we ate dinner with a physical therapist, Tuesday we ate with another one, and Wednesday after dinner we ran into one at a youth activity. 

*Went to Meridian to a presentation on temples. We went to a class with a professor telling us about Temples today and the doctrine in the Old Testament and New Testament about it and before that I had taken one too many allergy pills so I was interested in it but I was fighting to not pass out too. Then we walked around a temple replica from Moses's day. That night we went to a haunted house and the couple there told us how they have a basement with a well thats closed off like the movie "The Ring"

*Caught a cold from Elder Nelson but we took some Nyquil the other night and slept for 12 hours which is probably the longest time ive slept in a while so that was nice

One of the many scriptures I highlighted and liked this past week was Romans 14:19: "Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another". Have a good week!

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...
