We have had a great week in Sandpoint. We have had so much awesome success finding people and inviting them to be baptized. Just as one example, on Monday, while we were in the stake center, a lady came into the church wanting to get some information. We invited her on a church tour right there and invited her to be baptized. She definitely felt the spirit as we went on the tour, and kept telling us she wanted to bring this up to her whole family.
The area is doing great. The bishop is fired up for missionary work in response to the broadcast on Sunday. Many of the members are getting excited as well. One focus that Elder Williams and I have had since we came into the area is to gain the trust of the members. Our way of doing that is by being diligent on our own efforts, and making sure that members know our purpose when visiting them.
Christina is on date for July 20. She is definitely having a hard time accepting forgiveness in her life. She still feels super guilty about the things she has done. We are trying to meet with her as often as possible because she tells us how much better she feels when she is learning about Christ.
We found a new person to teach this week, named Heather. She had come to church for a couple weeks with one of her member friends, and had taken lessons years ago. We talked to her member friend about inviting her on a church tour. She did and Heather accepted. She doesn't have a huge understanding of the gospel, but knows that it is something she needs in her life, and wants to keep learning more for herself, and for her family.
Sandpoint is a great place to be a missionary. I love the people here. It is going to be a transfer full of miracles. I love you all. Have a great week full of miracles too=)
