Goodbye Boise
HELLO!
Last week we tried to
go sledding (Just like every other week) but there was TOO MUCH SNOW!
That being said we
will try again today.
Other than that this
week has flown by. Why? BOISE TRIP THAT'S WHY! It has been brought to my
attention that every trip to Boise from here on out could be the last time I
ever see that beautiful metropolis in my life (that is what
the subject line means, so don't panic). With all of the traffic, and people,
and traffic. The only downside being the traffic of course.
We did run into the
very isolated Boise Spanish Missionaries though! (Pic at top of blog)
The trip was made better by the fact that I got to go with good ole Elder Woodin, who just got transferred out of our district less than two weeks ago. He thought he escaped an exchange this transfer...
Right after that trip
we went on exchanges with the Zone Leaders, I was once again with Elder Miller.
By the time we got up to Hailey it was dark. Elder Miller hadn't seen this much
snow on his mission so lo aprovechamos.
Top Spiritual
experience of the week: The Spirit can soften people's hearts! We found
this man, let’s call him Jose, who was excited to let us in his house but once
we were inside he became very hostile. But he clearly had no idea who we were
or what we were teaching. As we began to explain why we were there and bore
testimony of what we were teaching his entire body changed, he was listening
and he didn't interrupt us at all. When we finished he tried to speak but had
difficulty getting the words out. He and his wife agreed to read the Book of
Mormon and invited us back.
Love all of you! Have
a good, safe week!
-Elder Hazeslip
1. Do
you need anything?
Not right now! We are
still chomping away at the chips and the lightbulbs work!
2.
Best day this week?
The trip to Boise this
week was cool. Any trip to Boise now could be the last time I go! It was still
an exhausting trip though.
3.
What did you learn this week?
The Spirit can change
people if they aren't hardened against it. We found this man, lets call him
Jose, who was excited to let us in his house but once we were inside he became
very hostile. But he clearly had no idea who we were or what we were teaching.
As we began to explain why we were there and bore testimony of what we were
teaching his entire body changed, he was listening and he didn't interrupt us
at all. When we finished he tried to speak but had difficulty getting the words
out. He and his wife agreed to read the Book of Mormon and invited us back.
4.
What made you laugh this week?
Well, we got stuck in
the snow and had to call our ward mission leader to pull us out. That caused
more nervous laughter than anything. We were also doing some service helping to
dig up a busted sewer line (Just for a laundry room) and we found out that it wasn't
busted, they never finished it. So we just dug a big hole around it so the
water would just drain into the ground.
5.
Best meal this week?
We had some Salmon
last night that was really good!
6.
When is Zone Conference?
January 29th.
7. P
day plans today?
We are planning on
sledding! Hopefully they have it packed down now!
8.
Spiritual thought for the day?
We watched the
devotional with Elder and Sister Renlund last night. It was good. They talked
about Doubts and Faith and had a good analogy about a boat.
Link here: The analogy/talk begins at about 15:00
9.
How are your winter workouts going?
Pretty good. Lots of
Burpees. The sisters have a treadmill in their house now, idk if they use it.
We were tempted to take it when we found out the Elders were leaving but we
didn't have any idea where we could put it. Our house could easily be one of
those IKEA showroom thingys.
10.
Most common member meal served in your current area?
I can't identify
anything consistent right now. We haven't had the same thing twice in a row
this past week. We still get a good serving of various Peruvian foods though.
Ok, I'll work on my
weekly email now! Love you!

PS (Tomorrow will be
my 17-months out day, LOCURA!)
