Week 44 - It's already been over a week??

Well folks, time is flying by here in Weiser! It feels like I just got here yesterday but it's already been over a week! I'm so blessed to be serving here though! A little bit about the area: I cover about 10 little farm towns which all attend one of 5 different wards (or congregations). It takes over two hours to drive from one end of my area to the other, and most of it is just hills and hills of dead grass. I sure do miss trees. But it's beautiful in it's own way! The people here are so humble, and since the towns are so small, everyone in the town knows everybody else! We drive a truck (which I am enjoying very much). His name is Tyrone and he is currently very dirty from all the gravel roads we drive on.

My companions, Elders Nicholas and Washburn, are awesome! They're from Arizona and New Mexico respectively, and they're great missionaries! 

 

Selfies happen often when you're in the car for hours and hours everyday

 

There's a lot of potential in this area and I'm excited to be here. It always blows me away to see what miracles can happen when you humble yourself and do what God wants you to do. That goes for missionaries as well as all you normal people haha! God can make some amazing things happen when you realize that His plans are better than yours. Just last night, we were heading back to the church when both Elder Washburn and I had an address pop into our heads. Although we never found the address we were looking for, we met a ton of new people while searching! And we would have never found them if we had gone to the church! Thanks for all the prayers, but don't forget to pray for opportunities to share what you know with others!

Love ya,

Elder Doyle
