All missionary work is founded on the doctrine of Christ. As we come to understand that doctrine, then all other aspects of missionary work and of growth in the gospel take their proper places.
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday was Idaho Boise Mission's Zone Conferences. The Doctrine of Christ was the overall theme and we feasted both spiritually and temporally.
Assistants to the President, Elder Bowler and Elder Bird, led the way as testimonies were born and counsel was given.
Sister Woodruff taught us how to clean the nastiest room in the house, the bathroom.

Missionary Housing Guideline for Missionaries:
Missionaries demonstrate
gratitude to the members housing them by:
Properly protecting and caring
for their homes.
•NEVER leave
without making the beds and making sure the bedroom and bathroom are neat and
clean.
•Clean the kitchen after EVERY
use.
•Report damage or stains IMMEDIATELY to
the member. Missionaries are to pay from their personal funds for any repairs
because of their negligence.
•Turn off the lights, lock doors, and make sure
the heat or air conditioning is set to the family’s instructions when leaving
the house.
•If allowed to set the thermostat it is NEVER
TO BE SET LOWER THAN 75 DEGREES IN THE SUMMER, OR HIGHER THAN 70 DEGREES IN THE
WINTER.
•Closely follow the posted cleaning schedule and
reminder of “House Rules”
•Neatly store personal belongings in designated
locations.
Respecting their privacy and
family life.
•Obtain the members permission BEFORE
other missionaries visit.
•Use of areas in the home outside of the
kitchen, bathroom, bedroom designated for missionary use is by invitation ONLY.
Acting as dignified obedient
servants of the Lord.
•Be strictly obedient to the mission rules. Obedience
brings blessings.
•Exact obedience brings miracles.
•Avoid loud and unruly activities.
•Share testimony and faith promoting experiences
with members as appropriate.
•Express love, respect, and gratitude in word and
actions. As appropriate, volunteer to assist with yard work on your preparation
day.
Sister Brown, Sister Anandan and President and Sister Winder.
Sister Anandan presented the Winders with a special necklace from her parents in American Samoa to thank them for their service.
Unfortunately everyone in our community knows someone who is battling cancer. It is a horrific disease that doesn’t play nice and spare even the littlest in our community — the children. Baldapalooza is a family friendly music festival organized to raise money to help Idaho’s children who are battling cancer. On Saturday we had the opportunity to participate with our oldest daughter, Andi, and her family in one of their fund raisers, the Bubble Run.
It wouldn't be Saturday without chores...
On Saturday evening Dave and Janie Pollmann's oldest grandson, Connor Nelson, received his Mission Call to the California, Sacramento Mission. He reports to the Missionary Training Center on September 7th. We are so excited for him and look forward to hearing of his experiences as he hastens the Lord's work.
