Hey Everybody,
Thank you all so much for all of the birthday wishes!
We have had a pretty crazy week traveling all over the
place. It was definitely a week of lots
of driving. I am so tired of driving!
For the past 4 1/2 months, I haven’t had a companion who could drive. My lower back is startin to feel it.
We had a Zone Conference this week in Zoetemeer. I just have to say how awesome President and
Sister Bunnell are. I have never met 2
more loving people than them!
We saw some success this week in finding new people. One woman is named Claudia and we had a super
solid lesson with her. She is from Suriname
but has lived here her whole life, and even lived in Florida for a little
while. She is a super sincere woman and
was very happy to read the Book of Mormon and pray about what we shared.
There was a Christmas concert this week that the singing Elders put on. It was outstanding and
there were tons of people who attended. The
chapel was nearly full and the Spirit was very strong. I got to see some members from some of my old
cities which was super fun.
On Saturday and Sunday we had Stake Conference in Haarlem. On Saturday night we drove home and there was
some road work on the road we needed to take to get home. At 10:30 PM we ended up in Amsterdam. Then our GPS rerouted and took us through a
huge dark creepy forest! Haha. I can’t believe that we are even alive, but it
was kind of nice seeing a forest though. I have missed the great outdoors. You don’t have much of that in this country.
We are still working on helping our investigators make
progress. We will have a great lesson
and they are super into it and feel the Spirit really strongly, and are really
excited to read the Book of Mormon and learn more. Then we go the next week and they haven’t even
touched the book or done anything! People just get so busy with life and the
holidays and forget everything.
We had a lesson this week with an investigator who is an
opera singer and he was trying to teach me how to sing! He would sing something and I would try to
match it and then he would give me feedback and just destroy me haha. Some people are just not meant to sing. Me being one of them!
Elder B will be getting transferred this week down to
Belgium. My new companion will be Elder
Clukey! I don’t know him too well but I'm sure he is great.
Happy Holidays peeps.
