This week was a good week. Nothing too special but still really good. I can't believe that the transfer is more than half way done...How does this happen? I have no idea. Time is just flying.
This week I got an awesome package from Aunt Amy! THANK YOU SOO MUCH! I wrote you and Henry a letter today and will be sending it out soon! It totally made my day. I think I read it like 15 times to my comp....she was probably so annoyed. oh well. haha
We had interviews this week with Presdient and SIster Robinson! It was really great seeing them and just chatting with them about life and how the mission is going to change once we get this Facebook stuff going. I am excited for the work to move forward! Last time I had interviews it was September or October and all I remember was me crying the whole time because I felt like such a failure. This time went 100 billion times better. I didn't cry one bit. WOOT. Haha I think it's because I feel good about what I am doing here and just really enjoying my mission.
We are also trying another form of prayer..remember when I told you about the vision prayers..well I don't think we were feeling that so we decided to try something else out. We pray and then at the end of the prayer we try to follow the spirit and figure out a number of people we will find that will become potential investigators. The first time we did it..I thought two people and Zuster Rosenlof said four. So we went for four. We went out and contacted. We were talking to lots of people and giving out TONS of cards but not that many real potentials. But close to the end we had found two..so we kept going. Then we contacted this lady and guess what? She was a member of the church who has been inactive for years! And she said we should visit her! So we are pretty excited. In the end we said that we were meant to find two potentials but if we hadn't gone for four then we wouldn't have talked to that other lady! I thought that was a real blessing..I don't know about you guys.
Another blessing this week was we got a call from a sister in our ward on Thursday. She told us about how she was talking to her neighbor and her neighbor agreed to have us over! So she set up an appointment with her then called us to see if we could make it. NOW THAT IS AWESOME! THAT IS HOW MISSIONARY WORK IS SUPPOSED TO WORK! YES! Haha That was an answer to my prayers for sure.
Man, Heavenly Father loves me so much. He will give me everything I want..dead serious. It's crazy! You know what is cool? There is a piano here in the library and some person is playing "The River Flows in You". It is beautiful. This world is amazing. Can you tell I am just in awe right now? Well I am. :) haha
We are still working lots with the members and inactive members. It is really fun! I LOVE IT. Life is good.
Saturday was a really fun day because we helped Madelon paint her room..ish thing. And it was just so fun to talk to her. She is sooo talented and just amazing. She told us her conversion story and it just blows my mind. She also asked her parents if we could come over for dinner and they said yes! WOOT. Awesome huh? We are getting them to open up a little! Then we help Zuster Walle clean out her closet and sort things. That was fun! And she made us lekker dinner. We ate with her son's nonmember girlfriend which was fun! It's nice to narrow that gap between the missionaries and regular people....because missionaries are awkward. haha :)
Sunday was awesome! Two random Indonesian ladies came so it was cool having them there! The elder set up an appointment with them and they said they'll come back to church next week! We also said we'd go to their church next week after ours. That will be super cool. Not quite sure which religion they are from. haha
