Hey everyone, it's been another exciting week!

| Sandpoint, Idaho |
Monday
we had a fun p-day in Sandpoint with the missionaries in the zone, we
also spent a lot of time saying goodbyes and getting ready for
transfers.
Tuesday we spent most of the morning and afternoon
driving and unpacking and such things as are involved in transfers. It
was good. We also did some service for a sister in Newport who just
moved in and the Newport Elders couldn't make it over because of
transfers. We also met with the Abston family, they're the ones who
showed up to church that Sunday
and said they wanted to be baptized. It was a really great visit, we
were able to teach them more about using their quad's and studying the
scriptures and it was just a great visit. They're a great couple!

Wednesday
we spent the day in town on bikes, we had a good day, met a lot of nice
people and one in particular was a great contact. We met a man named
Jason who's had a bit of a rough past, but he recognized us as servants
of God, and was super excited to have us over to learn what we have to
say. It was great. We also had a very frustrating dinner appt with an
eternigator, He is very stubborn and has no reason to change. We would
probably drop him, but he only is willing to meet with us once a month.
So, it's not too big of a use of time. He usually feeds us as well, so
it's not too big of a deal.
Thursday
we had a great lesson with a new investigator, Kim, we taught her the
plan of salvation and she opened up a little bit, but we're having a
hard time getting her to open up to us. We spent the afternoon weekly
planning and helping Elder Esser learn the area, it went pretty well.
Then we drove out to the Proctor families house and had dinner with
them. It was really good. Pineapple Hawaiian chicken and rice in a
pineapple shell. It was super good. We went on splits with the bishop
and Brother Holmes after dinner and were able to see a few really good
families.

Friday
we road tripped to Spokane for a dr's appt and Chelsea's sealing. Unfortunately, we got the time wrong for the sealing, so we missed the
ceremony and got to wait in the waiting room with some members from Spokane first who I knew really well. It was good but still a little
disappointing.
When we got back into Priest River we had
dinner with the Jensens, it went really well and they're warming up to Elder Esser very nicely. Afterwards we went out to the Geoghens and had a
really good visit with them and then went to Jason's and had probably
one of the most spiritual restorations I've ever had on my mission with
him. We were able to help him understand God's love for him by comparing
it to his love for his daughter. It was powerful.
Saturday
was not too eventful, we found some new people to teach in Laclede and
had a good dinner appt with one of the Johnson families in the ward. It
was a good day.
Sunday
was yet another big miracle! We were greeting people for church and a
lady walked in and said she was interested in joining the church. AGAIN!
that's the second week in a row that that's happened! It's amazing! Her
name is Becky and she lives just a few blocks from the church. I'm
excited to start teaching her! We gave her a restoration pamphlet right
before sacrament meeting started and she read it and had lots of good
questions. After church we went out to the Charleston's and had a fun new
member lesson, they're so silly and so smart. It's fun and challenging
to teach them. Afterwards we got lost on our way to the dinner appt and
ended up a little bit outside our area and blew a couple few too many
miles. It was frustrating, but fun.
That was my week!
Love ya'll!
