Elder Ruesch: Boise, Idaho Mission: Week 25

So this week has been a good week. We had the opportunity to share the Prince of Peace with a lot of people this week. We've seen some good things come from. So one highlight for this week was when transfers came around and I got my new companion Elder Posadas (who's my mission brother)!! It's been a really fun last few days being with him. We just got right down to work! So we were able to come in contact with a few new families that have been taught before, but haven't seen missionaries in forever. So we dropped by and dang they were happy to see us. It was quite amazing to see that look on their faces. And it was all in the matter of catching them home on Easter Sunday! So the past few days were rough to start just cause when a small town has something going on, everyone is there! So it was a tad bit hard to catch people at home. It wasn't until Saturday that it started looking up. We went to a few parties and it was a good thing that we did. We ran into some non-members and an investigating family that we've been trying to get a hold of for a while. We set some appointments up and made our return. Of course we caught them leaving again, but we shared a simple message with them before they left. So this week we were also challenged to place all of our Prince of Peace cards. So we took that challenge and executed it swiftly. At the Easter Parties we shared it and handed our cards to all who were willing to take one. And on Sunday we handed it out to each Auxiliary. Since it's a little difficult covering five wards we left a stack at the other building and said "Please Take". We went to see how many were gone and all but 17 were gone!! Just yesterday alone we handed out 210 pass along cards for a beautiful message that keeps giving every time of the year and the best part is we placed every card into someone's hand so they could give it to someone who needs the message of peace. Elder Posadas and I are doing amazing things here and we are so shocked that we are serving together. Brothers united for this course of action in the Declo stake!! This is exciting to be serving here in the Declo Stake. At times a little stressful, but we make do with what we got and push forward! I love you all and I surly do miss you!! I'm looking forward to see what two years has done to you all!! See you in two years!!! :D
