Week 69 - Welcome to the Boise Idaho Mission!

Hey Dudes, 

Wow, what a week! As I'm sure some of you have already heard, we got some big news regarding the future of our mission. As of July 1st, 2019, the Idaho Nampa Mission (the mission I serve in) will no longer exist! It's kind of complicated, but to summarize things, it really won't change much for the last month or two of my mission. Our mission will be gaining about 50 missionaries and a bit more geographical area, and changing our name to the Boise mission. And even though I've spent my whole mission being told that the Boise mission is the dark side, I'm super excited! 

Some other super exciting things are happening! On the 29th, I got to go see Aaron, one of the first kids I taught on my mission, get baptized! This weekend, Donna and Kat will be baptized! And another family who has been taught by missionaries for years finally accepted the invitation to be baptized in March! So many miracles.

I feel like the list of topics and books I want to study increases almost daily, but I've made it a goal to follow along with the new Come, Follow Me program that the Church has come out with. I've really loved it, and we saw an amazing miracle last night as we shared a short message from it with a group of teens. These teens came from a variety of religious backgrounds including a few members of our church and even a few that didn't believe in God at all. We talked about where we can find truth in such a confusing world. We talked about what to do when we have questions. We talked about God's love for us. And I can't explain exactly how it happened, but by the end of this discussion, everyone in that room knew that God was real, that He loved them, and that they can turn to Him whenever they need help. It was so awesome. Go look up the Come, Follow Me program if you haven't already. It will bless your life.

Alright, love you all tons! Talk to you next week!

Sincerely, 

Elder Doyle
