Hey family, hope all is well with you all. This has been an eventful weekend for us. We got transfer calls this weekend. I swear, the longer your out the more these things just sneak up on you. It did not feel like 6 weeks passed by. I am transferring out of Spokane, and heading up to Sandpoint Idaho. I love serving in the city so much, so at first I was a little bummed to be leaving to a more boonie area, but there are not many places more beautiful than the Sandpoint Zone. For those who don't know, Sandpoint is a tourist town on the panhandle of Idaho, about 40 minutes north of Coeur d'Alene. It is also located right next to lake Pend Oreille, which is such a deep lake that they have done submarine testing there. I'm also way excited with who I'm serving with, Elder Williams. I served around him for 5 transfers in Moses Lake and he is a great missionary.
Anyway, with the week, we had a good one. We met with Heather and her family this week. We taught the Restoration because it was something they hadn't been taught in a while. They received it well and had great questions to ask about it. They are going out of town for the rest of the month, however, and we can't meet with them until after they come back. Walker is still excited to be baptized in July
Kristin isn't on date anymore because she hasn't been coming to church. Her mom really doesn't seem to be open with letting members give her a ride, and something almost always comes up on Sunday which prevents her from driving herself. We really want them to see the blessings that come from attending church.
This week, we were told to go visit a member named Amy Whiting. We only knew that she lived on a certain area of a street, so we started tracting it out. The first house we knocked on, a lady answered whose name was Amy White, and she fit the same age range, so we thought she was the one we were looking for, and that we were just given the wrong last name. Well as the conversation progressed, we learned that she was not the Amy we were looking for. To be honest, it was one of the more awkward conversations that I have had as a missionary as we were talking to the wrong person. But we still talked to her about the church and found out that she had met with missionaries years ago and that she even attended church. She invited us back and missionaries are going to be visiting with her later this week. We came back another day to that street trying to find the other Amy again, and it turns out they are next door neighbors.
I am super excited for this upcoming week, going to Sandpoint, and teaching the people there. There has been a special spot in my heart for every area I have served in and I know this place will be no different. I just go where I'm called and I love it. I love you all and hope you have a great week=)
