I am at the library because the internet at the church is
broken at the moment. I only have 30
minutes, so I will try to bust this out!
This week we looked up a guy named Settle. He let us in and we were able to have a lesson
with him. His family had visitors in the living room, so we taught him the
whole restoration lesson standing in his door way! Haha. The legs were burnin’ after that lesson.
Umu is doing great! We had 3 lessons with her this week and
she also came to church on Sunday! The ward is doing such a good job of
fellowshipping her and welcoming her into the ward. Umu shared with us some crazy stories about
the war back when she was in Sierra Leone.
She has had a pretty crazy life, but as she was telling us these stories
you could see how she had been prepared throughout her whole life to hear the
gospel.
I was on an exchange with Elder Hirsch this week in Heerlen.
We had a service project that night with
the sisters in another city. We got our
service clothes on and took the train to the other city and met up with the
sisters. We were just about to get on
the bus and the woman called us and cancelled.
Now we were stuck in a different city with gardening clothes on and no
appointment. We went on a joint teach
with the sisters and the rain just started pouring on us and we all got soaked.
We met their investigator and he took us
to get hot chocolate at a cafe. It was
the nicest cafe I have ever been in! Haha.
Everyone was dressed up in fancy clothes and we were all in sopping wet
gardening clothes. We were at least able
to have a cool lesson with their investigator.
We did a service project for Theo and Sylvia this week. We helped them move into a house down the
street. They also came to church on Sunday! We will be meeting again with them
this week.
On Saturday morning we had our interviews with President and
Sister Bunnell. It was very different
than with President Robinson. It was
cool to get to know him and his wife a little bit more. Great people.
We also looked up an inactive guy this week with Harry. Things got a little heated and before you knew
it they were yelling at each other! It was pretty intense. Harry (our 85 year old ward member friend) has
no problem calling people to repentance haha.
We have an exchange every single day this week, so we are
gonna be drop dead tired by Sunday. The
Lord is definitely blessing the work in Eindhoven. Things are good.
Have a swell week! Peace.
