Gerald has emailed me of the recent steps he has taken to get in touch with local Baha'is in Idaho. -gw
I have found some numbers for Baha'is in my area, there are 19! ... I called just today and left a message asking about stuff. They do have study circles and I will most definitely take advantage of that. I have just been stunned by the tremendous openness of the Baha'is I have contacted, it just refreshes me to see how strongly the Baha'is conform to the faith in terms of openly spreading and teaching and welcoming new members. I feel like I could already declare, and am literally holding myself back until I get a better understanding of scripture and the teaching of Baha'ullah (though some of the words of Abdu'l Baha seem to touch me very personal, ever issue I wonder about, or thought on religion I have had in the past is addressed in his works in a very accessible manner. While the teachings of Baha'u'llah obviously are the words of the Baha'i Faith and far more important, the words of Abdu'l Baha are indispensable for a newcomer.)
