Yet another fantastic week is in the books. On P-day last week our whole district went to
the beautiful city of Delft and climbed the enormous church tower. It was a beautiful clear day, just freezing
cold! All of the canals were frozen but sadly, they weren’t thick enough to
skate.
We had a super busy week with exchanges Tuesday through
Friday. On Wednesday I went to Leiden
with one of my best friends, Elder DeWitt. We had a great day together.
Ferdinand is doing great. We taught him the Plan of Salvation this week
and he came to church as well. He still has a baptismal date for the 20th of February.
We also got in contact with Boniface who has been on
vacation for the past month. We had a
lesson with him this week and read the Book of Mormon with him. He had been reading it on his vacation. We set a new baptismal date with him in
February as well!
On Saturday we got permission to go to the temple. It is only 20 minutes away from us and
transfers are this week, so we figured we would go before I get transferred! We
had a great session. And the best part
was that it was basically a mission reunion for me! There were members there
from Leuven, Eindhoven, Hengelo, and Den Haag. Basically everywhere I have served except
Lelystad. That was a nice surprise.
After the temple we were working with the sisters in Den
Haag. We had just gotten out of a lesson
and we were saying goodbye and some guy waked up to us. I thought "Oh no,
this guy is gonna come ask us for money." He started talking to us and was just super
friendly. He said that he believes that
there is some sort of God that created everything but he doesn’t know what or
who he is. We were able to teach him
briefly about our loving Heavenly Father. He was super open and interested and we have a
lesson with him this week! That was a really cool miracle.
It has been an awesome week and the Lord is blessing the
work in Den Haag. We have been having a
lot of success. Sadly, I will be leaving
this Wednesday. I will miss it
here! It has been a privilege to serve
here in Den Haag. I love this city with
all my heart. Some of the best times of
my life were spent in this city. I am
getting transferred to Almere to serve with Elder Smith! Elder Smith is a good
mission friend of mine, so I am excited. I look forward to what adventures Almere
brings. The church is true and God loves
you!
