So as for this week....we were grounded.... So we got record
snow this week and all of the mission was shut down due to it. We couldn't
leave, our car was grounded, and we were only allowed to walk to any house that
is close to our apartment which we already did the previous day and scheduled
appointments with them. So this week we really didn't have much to do. We did
get to say goodbye to Homero cause he went off to college in Northern Idaho.
He's off to do great things and hopefully spread the gospel up there. He's a
really good guy. Well since I last wrote, nothing has changed. I've learned to
drive in the snow which is good to have since I'll be living up in Rexburg
after my two years. We did service on Thursday for some of our investigators,
recent converts, and members. Well we tried to. A lot of times we got our car
stuck (mainly me) and we spent most of the time getting it unstuck. But oh well
haha it was funny and fun to do at the same time. Friday we did get to see some
people just before we got hit again with another part of the storm. We were
able to escape and then see a family who really wants to go to church and we
are helping them come and they are just a really sweet family. The spirit here
in Boise is so amazing. In closing cause I really don't have much more to say
other than we haven't killed each other in that apartment of ours, but a quote
that I found this week that has been really great and can serve as a constant reminder
of who we are. This quote is by Elder Jeffrey R. Holland and it says, "Keep trying, Keep trusting. Keep believing. Keep Growing. Heaven is
cheering you on today, tomorrow, and forever." I'd just like to say we are
all children of our Heavenly Father and He, Christ, and the angels are cheering
us on today as we face trial and tribulation. I know that this is true and we
have a loving Heavenly Father who is here for us. I love you all and I hope
your week is amazing.

Love,
Elder Ruesch
