Hey everybody!
This week has been a little slow. Two of our investigators
have been in and out of the hospital, one is getting a lot better, the other I
think she's improving but she's going through cancer treatments so it’s been
tough on her.
We met the Hallenan family again, and they are doing pretty,
well. When we stopped by they were all outside, a black widow was sitting in their
kitchen up in some spot where they could really squish it and they were trying
to devise a plan to kill it. They did its dead now. But we also talked to them
about the importance of scripture study and family prayers. It was a good
meeting and we showed them the gospel Library app which they were pretty
excited about. They a really nice young couple and they have two kids that are
about 3 and 2 and they are funny little kids. One likes to act like animals and
give you "flowers" (Normally weeds and leaves). But they are a really
good family and they are making steps back towards the savior, which is awesome
to see.
There’s been a lot of excitement about the eclipse that just
took place. We were just out of the Totality range, so it got pretty dark but
we didn’t get the full night time effect. You could see the darkness over by
IF, if you looked north well we were on top of a mountain to watch it so we
could see the darkness move across the Valley. But it was pretty cool. We went
and bike/Hiked up Kinport which is the tallest spot in Pocatello if I remember
right. And it was a good hike, we walked the bikes most of the way once we
started ascending and then we hid the bikes and just cut through the brush so
we could more or less just go straight up the mountain. It was pretty cool
though. The ride down was pretty fun though.
I'd send pictures but I just realized this computer can’t
upload them so I’ll get them to you guys later.
