Week 49 - One Transfer Down in Weiser

Howdy Folks!

I know I've said this before but golly gee, time flies! It feels like I just got to Weiser and it's already been 6 weeks! And it's been a great 6 weeks! We just had a wonderful baptism this past Saturday for Zoe Garcia, who will be starting her senior year in high school in a couple days. She's such a great example to her family, who have been going through a lot of tough stuff. 

Zoe's is awesome! I'm so honored to have been a part of her journey!


I think I mentioned a few weeks ago how there are a bunch of fires burning in the area. Bad news: they're still burning and it's pretty smoky everywhere, but Good News: We had like 10 minutes of rain the other day for the first time in months! Man, I miss the rain. And trees. But dead grass is cool too! Haha the wonderful people make up for the lackluster landscape!

Okay cool story from last week: One of the people we were teaching was having a bunch of back pain. It was keeping her from work and she was worried she might lose her job. Well we went over and explained priesthood blessings to her, and asked if she might like one. She said yes, and as we did it, she visibly relaxed. It was pretty awesome! When the blessing was over, she looked at us with huge eyes and said "I feel so much better!" The pain wasn't totally gone, but she felt peace and relaxation, and she got out of that chair a lot easier than she got into it. Miracles really do happen! I'm so grateful that God allows lame 19 year old kids like me to help do his work and see the blessings that come from the Gospel of Jesus Christ! 

Love you all,
Elder Doyle
