Hmm. I dont really know where to start off this week.
DO you remember Marisa, the lady who came to church with her son a month or so ago? Well contact with her has been off and on since then but this week we finally got into her house, taught her the plan of salvation and then set a baptismal date with her. THat was super cool. SO her baptismal date is for the 1st of February. Super exciting!
Eugeen is still on track to get baptized this upcoming sunday. Super excited. Haha I was in Gent on exchanges so I missed his lesson this week but Zuster Aldous got through the rest of the commandments with him and also went over the baptismal interview questions. She said that he while he was reading through the questions he was just saying "easy, yep that is good.." so on and so forth. He is just a cutie. Can't wait to send pictures of his baptism.
Dirk is doing better! We had a really good lesson with him this week. He was prepared for what we were teaching which made the lesson more enjoyable. He still has a hard time with smoking and drinking coffee so hopefully he can get off of those before his baptism on the 4th of January. We might have to push his date back. We will see. Keep him in your prayers.
During our District Meeting on Tuesday there is one person that is randomly picked to lead the discussion on a set of scriptures that we read throughout the week. Of course I was picked to lead it..ha. But We were all confused on which scriptures we were suppossed to talk on..I had ended up preparing for the wrong scriptures...Awkward. But I just flung it and tried my best. It was surprizingly pretty good because I had to rely only on the spirit. THat was a really cool experience for me. The Lord helps you out!
Wednesday we went caroling! Super fun! I love singing for people. It totally brightens everyones day, including mine.
Saturday night was the ring kerstverhaal (the ward Christmas story) and it was really good. There was a choir that sung and then someone told the story of Christ's birth while actors played it out. It is crazy that I can understand this language. It is really cool. Haha.
Sunday we had Dirk, Thinley and her sister at church. Super cool. They ended up staying the whole time! Woot. Thinley and her sister even stayed for the ward Christmas party, which was a huge success. Loved hanging out with the people from this ward. SO ya. That was fun.
Of course more happened this week but that would take ages to write. Oh yeah. We were walking on the street and some guy comes up to us with a Poinsettia (I have no idea how to spell this..its the flower that is everywhere during Christmas time) and asks which one of us deserves this flower. I quickly point to Z. Aldous and he just says..Hmm let me think. He thinks then hands the flower to her and says "You are really pretty but she is the better friend." haha, I don't really understand what that was supposed to mean but it was funny. I am glad she got the flower because I didn't want to hold it all day. haha
Love you guys! Have a Merry Christmas!!!
