Dear Elders and Sisters,
What a privilege to welcome Elder Russell M. Nelson of the Quorum of the Twelve and his wife to the Great Idaho Boise Mission. They will be accompanied by Elder James B. Martino of the Seventy and his wife, and Elder Blake R. Alder of the Seventy and his wife. It is somewhat rare to have an Apostle visit a mission. For most, this may be a singular event to meet and be closely instructed by an Apostle. To gain the most from this, we should carefully begin now to prepare our hearts to be receptive to the promptings and impressions that will come then.

From Devon:
We
had a great week this week. We got 2 new investigators this week. We went
over to teach the McDevitt's and the non members Mom, who is a non member, was
there. She is from the the Philippines and said that she saw missionaries over
there. She asked about temples and we taught the importance and sacredness of
temples and the member and her non member husband both testified about feeling
the spirit in the temple. He was there in the temple before it was
dedicated. She asked us questions, we answered some of them, and asked
her if she would like to hear more about what we believe. She said yes
and we have an appointment with her this Wednesday.
This last Friday we had a zone meeting and it was focused on Finding. At the end of the meeting the Zone leaders challenged us to find a new investigator before Sunday night. Finding is not an activity it is an attitude. We had from Friday afternoon to Sunday night to find a new investigator. We found one on Saturday. The investigator was the wife of a less active member named Br. Masily. We have been trying to contact them for about 9 weeks now and we finally contacted them this week. We were invited into the house and we started a regular conversation. We were starting to talk about the church when she started to ask us questions about our church. We had a Fantastic discussion and testified about many principles in third lesson. Our next appointment is this Wednesday. I think for the first time in our two transfers we have two many appointments on Wednesday (6) between 6-8 o'clock.
Both of our areas are starting to really pick up. The field is white and ready to harvest. We had a meeting with stake president Kiel about missionary work last Saturday morning and gave us some good advise on some of our investigators. This week was great.
