Hey family!
Thank you so much for the wonderful emails and the love that you send! I am so grateful to have you guys in my life and I just love hearing from you every week. This week was such a GREAT week. Man am I tired. Yesterday after church and everything I was just pooped. But we have seen soooo many miracles this week so let me start sharing them with you!
First off, we set a baptismal date with Sofia!! YAY! She is going to get baptized on July 5th. I know that is a little far away but she is pregnant and also needs to get married so we all felt super good about that date. I am excited for her. We also picked up three new investigators this week! Daniella, the lady we found because we went to the wrong door, is from a Pinkster Gemeente (Branch) and she is very intelligent. She has four children and is amazing. Then we have Cassandra and Selim. Sadly I wasn't there for their first lesson because I was on exchanges, but Zuster Taylor and Zuster Greenwell were amazing and had a great lesson with them. Cassandra is Jehovahs Witness and Selim is Muslim! I am super excited to see how thing go with them. I think this week we will try to set a baptismal date with Cassandra because she is totally awesome.
So I was on exchanges in Den Haag with Zuster Wood and Reeder. We started out the day making a rap about Nephi getting the plates from Laban for one of their investigators! It is hilarious! So I am really excited to show it to you guys when I get home. It was sad because we didn't get to do it for him because he wasn't home.. :( But we did have a really awesome first lesson with this girl named Fatima who is 17 and the daughter of one of the recently-baptized members in Den Haag. We didn't really know what to expect from her..Long story. So we kinda went in there not knowing exactly what was going to happen. It turned out to be one of the most spiritual lessons that I have ever had. She asked sooo many good questions and I could just tell that she really was searching for the truth. When I was baring my testimony to her about how much this gospel means to me and the joy it brings to me, I could feel the spirit so strong. Just thinking back on it makes me want to cry. But right after I gave my testimony she said that we were all glowing. That there was this light to us which was no doubt the Spirit. We ended up asking her to be baptized and she said she'd think about it. I am sad that I am not in Den Haag to continue teaching her..but I know that the Lord works wonders. He loves us sooo much it's crazy. We had a lesson with Wilma this week...And sadly I don't think she is very open to the gospel. We will keep contact with her but I don't think we will but having anymore lessons.
So at the beginning of this week we had a lesson with Magnolia, an inactive and we made rice crispy treats with her and her son William (he is the one we take to church every week) and we had sooo much fun. We then had a really strong spiritual lesson with her and then asked her to come to church...and she said she would! There was also a Pot Luck going on after church so we told her we'd come over again to make food for it, she was totally down. haha We made rice an chicken stuff..it was good! And guess what? She came to church! YAY! People were really nice and had open arms to her. She is a little shy so I could see that it was a little hard for her but I think she really enjoyed everything. And the food there was great!
We picked up one of the Elder's investigator named Netty. She is such a sweetheart. She is the one that we went to her church..She's Indonesian. Rmember her? Well she's cool. She couldn't make it to church or the Pot Luck so she made food and dropped it off. What a sweetheart huh? I am excited for her to progress further in the gospel.
Thank you all for your love and support! I love you so much and I miss you like crazy, but this has no doubt been the best thing in my life. I am excited for Morgen to experience the same(: And also Lauren!!
This week I learned lots about prayer..Prayers are answered everyone! I was actually focusing a lot of praying for new investigators and guess what? We got them. Sometimes we just need to pray for the right things and ASK our Heavenly Father. (: He loves us so much.
I love you and keep up the good work!
