Hello everyone! How are you doing?
Well this week went by SUPER fast! Haha But it was a really good week. After we emailed on Monday, we had our calm P-DAY and then we had FHE with Familie Brouwer. It was really cool to hang out with them. They are my family away from home. haha She is really cool.
I have a theme for this week...it's "Heavenly Father, Earthly Father". Have you guys ever seen that mormon message before? Wellllll if you haven't, you should watch it. It was super cool because we visited Familie Kat and showed it to them. He really loved it and was even crying. I was crying like a baby..because I realized how much my Heavenly Father loves me but also how much my earthly father loves me. Thanks dad for everything that you do. And the love that you show me. :) I love you. The video also helped me realize how awesome MY FAMILY IS! I love you guys so much! I think it is awesome that we have the chance to grow closer to each other even though we are so far apart. Love ya.
There is a sister in our ward who unfortunately has a brain tumor..and she has been getting progressively worse. But we were so blessed and we were able to look after her on Wednesday and also on Saturday. She loves when we sing for her so that's what we did! We sung hymns for 2 hours and the spirit was so strong and just warm. It was really cool. We get to hang out with her on Saturday of this week too so I am excited.
We also had some REALLY good lessons this week! Sofia, we taught her about the law of chastity. haha that was exciting but it went really well. She loves the idea of families working together and growing together. Abdul, I think we told you about him before but we met with him again this week. Our joint teach, Chaya, did such an awesome job. He is super smart and is just a sweetheart. Petra: She is the lady that we found last week when I was on exchanges with Sister Reeder. We met with her on the street because her husband doesn't want us inside his house. Chaya and Sister Reeder just talked a lot..and Chaya answered all of her questions. Most of the time we try to stick with the Restoration on the first lesson..but this one didn't work out that way. Petra just had too many questions. So Chaya just talked with her and answered questions..and ended up going through law of chasity, word of wisdom and ten commandments. Haha Can we count this lesson as three member presents please? haha ;but it went well. Rosemary: Remember her? well we had a great lesson with her about the restoration and watched the video with her. The spirit was strong and she wants to learn more. The funniest thing was that at the end of our lesson she just said "I want my son to be baptized and also my sister's children" She was straight up serious. We were suprized but we has were cautious because people need to be baptized for the right reasons. haha
Other things that went on this week..We finally got to meet with an inactive, Magnolia and her son who is also a member. She has some problems with the church that she doesn't want to explain to us so we just keep things light and uplifting. We asked her son, William, if we wanted to come back to church and he said yes! So on Sunday we picked him up and took him to the church! It was cool. He's about 11 years old.
Zr Rosenlof taught Self Denfense to the young women on friday night! So that was fun! I think they really liked it! Haha and we taught a lesson in Relief Societ! AHH scary but it went well. haha It was just over the plan of salvation so it didn't go too bad. haha
Remember when I told you about the member who set up an appointment for us to meet with her neighbor? Well we had that lesson today! And it went really good! Her name is Judith and she has been visiting and learning about many churches her whole life but she has never been able to find one that she wants to stay at...NOT YET that is. haha She was really interested in what we had to say and she definitely put her input and asked questions. It was really a good lesson. We are actually going to meet with her tomorrow so I will let you know how that goes next week.
I love you guys so much and miss you like crazy! Enjoy the Olympics!!! I love this gospel and the joy that it brings to me! LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH!
Ik hou van jullie! Je t'aime! I love you! - Zuster Kohlert
