"We need to put that he lives deep in our bones"-Elder Andersen

What a week. Heres highlights:

*we finally got one guy at our weekly Book of Mormon class we started so thats a start

*a Spanish speaking missionary stayed with us for 2 days so that was fun

*we stayed super busy for about 2 days straight helping the Spanish speaking Elders move in all their furniture into our place and still managed to teach in between that

*ate dinner at the haunted house with the couple there and we talked about repentance. On another day they let us explore there old basement too

*had our interviews with our mission President which was good

*played some basketball with some people and the special needs group

*went to Meridian as a whole mission and we heard Elder Anderson (one of the 12 Apostles) speak. He spoke on how God cares about our personal lives, mentioned Matthew 10:29-30, even the hairs on our head our numbered. Also talked about how as far as Christ goes we need to put that "he lives into our bones". Got pictures next to the Meridian temple too

*One day a friend of mine told me she didnt feel worthy enough to be able to go to heaven. Heck I feel like that almost daily sometimes. But in church yesterday we sang "There is a Green Hill Far Away" and I liked this line: "there was no other good enough to pay the price of sin. He only could unlock the gate of heaven and let us in"

Nothing too crazy this week, God bless you all!

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...
