Hoi Jongens
What a spectacular week it has been! We had such an amazing
first week of the transfer.
To start the week out, on Tuesday, I was on an exchange here
in Eindhoven with Elder Harp. We were
knocking doors in the rain and some guy felt bad for us so he invited us in for
a cup of coffee. We went in and just
started talking to him about what it is we do.
He said that we need to just “live life” and go do some drugs, smoke and
drink. We told him how being addicted
and controlled by drugs and other substances isn’t “living life” at all! We
need to have an eternal perspective.
There are so many people here who are just so caught up in the world. We were able to give him a Book of Mormon and
by the end of the lesson he was actually a lot more open. We just hope and pray that he will actually
give it a chance and read in it because we know that it can change his life and
bring him true happiness.
We taught an investigator twice this week named Lee. Lee is so cool! He is from Florida and has
been living here for about 8 years. I
have never met anyone more prepared to hear the gospel than Lee. He used to be a Roman Catholic, so he has a
good Christian background. We have
taught him the first 3 lessons and are meeting with him again this week. Please pray for Lee that he can get a clear
answer that this is what he needs to do! He says that it makes a lot of sense
and it feels right. He has a baptismal
date for the 15th of August that we are working towards.
Umu came to church this week for the 2nd time! We met with
her and taught her the Plan of Salvation. We are going to meet with her this
week and hopefully can set a baptismal date.
We had a super cool miracle this week as well. We went with our ward mission leader to look
up a less active member and when we got there, she had a friend visiting named
Timothy who had lots of questions. He
said he believed in God, but didn’t know who God really was. We were able to teach him the restoration
lesson and at the end the less active member testified of the things that we
taught.
We had a ward blitz where the young men came and we went and
looked some less active members up. We looked one member up and her car was
broken down. She had us push her all the
way to the mechanic! We were all in our church clothes at an intersection
pushing the car and there was a huge line of cars behind us. Haha.
It was a good experience.
We also had a Zone Conference in Antwerpen, Belgium this
week. I gave a presentation on “making a
language study plan." Yippeeee.... Haha!
I tried to make it as funny and interactive as I could. Overall, I think it went pretty well. President and Sister Bunnell did a great job
as well. They are amazing! We received
terrible news though, we are going to have to start wearing helmets!
Nooooooo!!! We have had too many accidents in our mission in the past couple of
months, so Church Headquarters is making us buy helmets.
The work here is going super well and we are seeing miracles
daily! This is for sure one of the happiest times of my mission. Elder Schmidt and I are just having a blast. Thanks for all your prayers! We can truly see
them being answered.
I love you all. Have a great week errbody!
