To the best friends and family a person can hope for,
This week is a big week. In two days, it's my 6 month mark.
Can you believe it?! It seems like it's zoomed by. I've been in this area for 6
months. In a week and a half is transfers, and most likely I'll be leaving. I'm
kind of ready for a change though. I've called every person in our area. I
think they might be ready for a change as well.
This week we have also been doing a lot of service. We did a
bit of stucco, painting, pulled some weeds, moved rock for some landscaping, a
little bit of everything. What's good though is that we have been able to
reestablish contact with a few people we haven't been able to reach in a while
because of service! So that's good! We also found a new person to teach this
week! There's a family that allows us to visit every once in a while, and we
eventually shared a message to the mother on the porch, gave her a Book of
Mormon and set up a time to come back! That was our miracle of the week!
Today for Preparation Day, we went on an 11 mile hike! It
was long. I didn't realize how long 11 miles is. My legs are weak now. I'm also
sun burnt. But it was worth it! It was super beautiful! It reminds of my
companion s favorite verse, which is Alma 30:44. It's a long verse, but it
mentions that "all things denote that there is a God." When I see the
beauty of the Earth, it shows to me that there is a God. What show you that
there is a God?
Interesting fact! People outside of Idaho eat more Idaho
potatoes than the people in Idaho. Makes sense to me. The people in Idaho are
probably all sick of potatoes.

1-5. Pictures from the hike. The mountains in the background
are the Tetons. We saw the trail that said "Not Recommended". So we
went up that trail.
