Week 25 - Winter is finally coming!

Quote of the Week: "I think someone just stabbed me in the belly button with a hot knife."

Hi Friends!

It's been a crazy week! And it's finally been getting cold! The first half of the week was sort of unusual and filled with lots of fun stuff like urgent care visits and appendicitis scares! But the last few days have been awesome! As you know, I now have a smartphone, which has given us a lot of new opportunities and ways to spread the good news! Here's a cool smartphone-related story from this week:

I was on Facebook (feel free to send me a friend request!) and found my Brother Ashdown, my ward mission leader from Fruitland! I was super pumped,  especially when I saw that we had a mutual friend! Curious, I tapped on the mutual friend and found out it was the Sister Irwin! Sister Irwin moved here to Idaho from Seattle and we've been teaching her kids and husband! To make a long story short, Brother Ashdown was the missionary that had interviewed Sister Irwin for baptism 7 years ago in Seattle. We were able to bring him to our lesson at the Irwins on Saturday, and upon seeing him, Sister Irwin started crying happy tears and it was awesome. The spirit was so strong! I'm so grateful for a gospel that lets us connect with people and make lifelong friends! 

This week, I've got two challenges for you. One, go friend me on Facebook if you'd like. I try to post inspirational messages that have strengthened my testimony and brought the spirit into my life. Second, go connect with an old friend. See how they're doing. See if you can serve them. I know that it can bring light into both their life and yours.

Love you all, 
Elder Doyle
