Welcome to the blog of Paul and Doris Blackham, which we have entitled, “From Bristol to Boise with Faith”. What follows is a brief description of the events in our lives that bring us to this point. On October 29, 2024, we received a call from the Lord’s Prophet, President Russell M. Nelson to serve as a senior missionary couple for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Our assigned calling was to the England Bristol Mission in the role of Member Leader Support (MLS), with our service to begin on May 5, 2025. From that day forward we watched on the missionary portal as the number of days until our service counted down from 188 until we would report to the Missionary Training Center (MTC) in Provo, Utah. After five days in the MTC we would proceed to England to begin our service in the England Bristol Mission.

Did you know?

  From Doris: Our family has walked 3087.663 miles to Bristol. There is a herd of goats at the intersection of Highway 55 and Hill Road. They are put there each year to eat the dry grass/weeds. I am sewing a fall themed quilt. It is the first big quilt I have sewn since my cancer diagnosis. Paul has finished painting both of our basement bedrooms. Paul smoked a pork shoulder for his Father’s Day dinner.

Music

  From Doris: Amazing Grace 1.     Amazing grace (how sweet the sound) that saved a wretch like me! I once was lost, but now am found, was blind, but now I see. 2.     The Lord has promised good to me, his word my hope secures; he will my shield and portion be as long as life endures. 3.     Yes, when this flesh and heart shall fail, and mortal life shall cease: I shall possess, within the veil, a life of joy and peace. 4.     When we’ve been there 10,000 years, Bright shining as the sun; We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise Than when we’d first begun.
