Hey family and friends! Life is SO good. What did everyone think of Conference? Amazing huh? I wish I could just watch it over and over again..but I should probably do some missionary work instead. haha I hope that you got answers to your questions because I sure did. I loved listening to Sister Stevens and Elder Zwick (READ ASAP. it will change your life!) along with the other leaders of the church.
This week has been really good. Today we were taking a good bike ride and decided to play on this seasaw thing and as we were playing on it I was taking pictures...haha And fell off. haha it was hilarious. Zuster Taylor a couple of minutes later also fell off. haha It was a great way to start off the day, with a huge laugh.
Gezinsavond (FHE) was really fun last week. We are still working on our mosaics. I'll send pictures when I have them. haha The rest of the week of FULL of sunlight and it was awesome. We met with SO many people. We picked up a new investigator, Christiana. She is from Ghana and is very religious and super sweet. She gave us both roses and soda when we first met with her. She even came to one of the sessions of conference and she really liked it. (:
Sofia is still doing good. We met with her once this week but very shortly..She has to move again by the end of this month;/ We hope that something more permanent for her will show up. Keep her in your prayers. We also met with Daniella and her husband again..They are very knowledgable about the bible...so it was really hard to say anything because the second we would try to say our point they would go off about something. But it's okay. Zuster Taylor said when we walked out that we good drop-kicked out of there...I think she is right. Who knows, maybe they will want to meet again. We'll check up on them in a couple of weeks. haha We also met with Wilma again this week...interesting. She is sadly not really willing to keep commitments so we will probably have to drop her. But that's okay.. Her time will also come! Aji and Henry, on the other hand, are doing great! They tried reading the book of mormon together and they only got through the first page. So when we met with them we continued reading a little with them and explaining things. The spirit was definitely there. And he said such a great prayer. I love having lessons with them.
We helped a less active clean and organize one of her rooms and really helped her out. We then had dinner together and then watched conference. On our way home from the church we were asking her if she learned anything...and she was like "no, I already knew all of those things.."and we were like "oh..okay.." then later she brough up the talk about the tornado and the house landing on the neighbors house and how she learned that sometimes we think we are in one place when we really are in another. She then explained some things that she learned. It was super cool. It's awesome to see that EVERYONE can learn something from conference.
This week we heard that Zuster Van Vliet passed away..She was the sweet lady who had a brain tumor/cancer and we would go sing to her almost every week. Ya, she passed away on Friday so on Wednesday we will be going to the funeral to help and support them. Sister Taylor is also playing the organ. Mom, can I take piano lessons when I get home? I really would love to learn how to play. It is something that can bring everyone joy. (:
Bizu is doing a lot better. She was able to stay over at her house on Friday as a sort of "test run" to see if she could handle being at home. I think everything went really well so hopefully she can leave that hospital place soon. Pray for her(:
Well..What else happened? not much. We did make an appointment with a guy we talked with on the street. His name is Lloyd. So hopefully our appointment with go through on saturday.
Life is great. The Lord is amazing and He answers prayers! (: I love Him and am SO grateful for the opportunities that WE have to help those around us. Lets take advantage of our 4 minutes!
LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU TONS!
Zuster Kohlert
