Week 6

Dear Family & Friends!



Hola from Kuna Idaho! HAPPY BE-LATED 4TH OF JULY!! This past week
has flown by! So we have been teaching a guy named Fabian, really
good guy. He's turned his life around 180 degrees. He was in prison
for a few years and now is on probation. He has a real nice house,
and 4 kids and a nice wife and is suppose to be on probation for 6
more years but he is doing so great that he will probably be let off
in November. That is great because he wants to be baptized but
has to get off probation first. Any ways, we've been helping him
clear all of the cheat grass (its like grass and hay mixed, but definitely
a weed) in his backyard so that he can put some hydro seed down to
get some grass. So our district (4 elders) have been doing that every
morning this past week and nearly have it done, we've put in probably
12 hours so far. he's gonna make us some stuffed mushrooms and
steaks tonight for dinner so that's gonna be awesome.

We have been extremely busy teaching our investigators and we had
a lot of progress with them this week. The best one is Brent. So
we've been teaching him for 3 months and he hasn't come to church,
but he came on Sunday! It was so awesome! That was a big miracle!

We met with Brad on Sunday and he's been the guy that just tries
and grill us on questions and has so many concerns with just the
basic doctrines of God and Jesus Christ and the Bible and Book of
Mormon, but this week, he told us that he doesn't mean to be so
stubborn and arguable, he said that he loves having us over and
that we've helped him so much, he said 5 months ago he wasn't
even believing in God and now he does and we finally got him to
pray out loud with us. So we gave him scriptures to read on
prayer and told him to pray every night with his fiance, so we
were so excited!!

On the 4th of July, its a partial proselyting day, so we were told if you
have appointments go to them but do not contact or try and make
1st contact with people. So we had a morning appointment with Sean
and we taught the 2nd lesson (plan of Salvation) and that went great.
Then we went over to Meridian and played some b-ball with our zone,
it was a blast. Then we grabbed lunch and then went to the BMX
track for a few hours. We had a nice BBQ at the McBrides house.
After that,  we went back to Sean's house and watched the fireworks,
he had the good stuff. So I had a great fourth. We finally made it out
to church in Melba, the people there are so nice and friendly I loved it.
We got called up to bare our testimonies by one of the bishops,
which I'm getting used to now. Then that night we got a call and we're
speaking in the 2nd ward this Sunday on anything we want, so that is
kind of the worst topic but the best too because we get to speak on
what the spirit feels the people need to hear.

So this week we are challenging 3 people to baptism so we've been
praying for a date and we got an answer so now we just gotta get
them to commit!

Thank you all for your letters and your support.
