Week 46 - Sorry Smoky the Bear, I Tried!

Walmart is never more fun than while you're on a mission







Howdy Partners,
It's been another hot one here in Idaho folks! I can't remember the last time it stayed under 100 degrees during the day! And all this heat has caused a lot of fires to spring up in the area, burning a few of our members' houses and lands. It also has shut down a bunch of roads, so we've been stuck in Weiser without being able to drive to the other towns we cover.

In other news, one of my companions, Elder Nicholas, is heading home this Saturday. He's served a great mission and I've been blessed to be his companion for these few weeks. Elder Washburn and I might be getting another companion on the day Elder Nicholas leaves, so trio life isn't over! 

The work in Weiser is going great. Zoe, who accepted the invitation to be baptized last week, is doing great! The ward is doing a great job of taking her in and making her feel welcome. It can be kind of intimidating to show up to a new church with a whole bunch of new people, but a little bit of love can make a huge difference. We also had the Szary family come to church for the first time, which was awesome! 

Big news: One of the members that fed us dinner made homemade donuts. They were pretty dang good. So the three of us decided that we could try making some back at our place. After much practice, deliberation, and trial and error, we have perfected the donuts. We've now made them three days in a row, which is definitely not healthy, but it's worth it. But don't worry, we watched a lot of videos about overcoming addictions this week. We're gonna be okay. 

I hope your mouth is watering
Thanks for the thoughts and prayers! Please pray for those fighting and dealing with the fires in this area! God bless!

Sincerely,
Elder Doyle


Elder Washburn and his big mouth always get us into trouble haha
We gave a training at zone conference this week on how to fulfill your calling as a royal messenger!
