Elder Avery Rhodes Mission

 WOW! There has been sooo much that has happened lately! For starters, we were going crazy on the missionary work, teaching, visiting people, and doing service. Pretty awesome. But then....Do you guys remember Covid? Well, we had quite the stir-up by it, it messed a lot of things up haha! We had lunch with some people and then they tested positive a week or so later so we had to quarantine. But that's not it, while we were in quarantine somebody brought us food who the next day tested positive as well....WHAT ARE THE CHANCES!? So, we had to re-set our 14 days haha so we were in for a total of 17 days. Let me say that it was for sure not the easiest or most fun thing that I have had to do but, there is so much to learn and grow from every situation. I learned how to have patience and to see the good/light in every situation. We also were able to find a couple of new people to teach while we were in quarantine, how cool is that!? One cool scripture that I came across is in D&C 80...

 Hello All! I know....I have not put out a post since I have been in Idaho, it's been over 2 months. Sorry! There is just too much to say but I will try my best to keep it short and still be able to relate all of the info! -My new comp is Elder Smith, nice fella from New York. -I am in Middleton, a wonderful little country town in the middle of nowhere. If you aren't a farmer here then you drive truck for the farmers, or work at the plants where they process the harvested goods...seeing the trend here? Haha, it is a very cool place and I am happy to be here -Is there a lot of potatoes you may ask? YES. As well as onions and sugarbeets. Makes me laugh and think of Dwight Schrute every time I say it haha. One cool observation of my time here is that there are literally thousands of onions along the roads and highways...super crazy. Apparently,sometimes the big semi's hauling them tip over and the whole town comes and has a hay day, free farmer's market haha!! The mission ...
