WOW what a week! ​ We had our Temple trip on Tuesday so our preparation day got moved to that day. Before we went to the Temple we went shopping and looked at the canyon we saw some people jump off the bridge... ​ It's all cool because they had parachutes. ​ I got to meet this guy who I will call "WB". He is a less active member who is trying to quit smoking so we go over to help him with that. He told us a lot of stories about martial arts and stuff he did when he was younger. But he "never messed around with that Dark Ninjitsu, boodoo worshiping (crap)" Apparently that works through the devil and not Jesus, and he only wants to worship Jesus. So he sticks to Tae kwon do. He is doing well with giving up the cigarettes too. We also had another visit with a guy who used to be a detective for Cassia County.

Hi! Wow! I don't know where to start this week... Last Monday I got to have Taco Bell for the first time in about 9 months. It is still delicious. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​ I got some good pictures in Albion when it was raining. We also saw a rainbow! Good foreshadowing for the weekend I guess.  Listen here Misty Mountains  Bajando   Albion Rain   Mini Albion  Arcoiris Also while we were in Albion, we did some service for our good friend. He also told us about all the videos he had been watching. Some of them were critical of the Church. Our friend (who is not a member) told us that "they don't know what they are talking about" and "you can't watch general conference, hear Mr. Nelson speak and say that he doesn't talk to God, you just can't really believe that". That was nice to hear. Here is the Snake River at sunset: Saturday was a really neat day. We got to go back to Kimberly ...
