Well this transfer FLEW by. It was crazy. I swear sister brophy and I just got here...but nope it's already been 6 weeks. So weird. But this transfer has no doubt been one of the most eventful ones of my mission! I am so grateful for the blessings that the Lord has given us. It's insane. We set 3 baptismal dates this transfer and next transfer 2 of them with get baptized! So excited.
So I don't remember much about what happened this week..BUT Usha and Serenity are doing really good. We had two lessons with them this week and they are amazing. We assign them readings in the childrens BOM thing and they read it like3 times. And then Usha rewrote it all. It is so cute. They have been going to church faithfully since we have been meeting with them and their mom, Clara is amazing. She has been totally participating in the lessons at church and even helping us out with investigators. It was great. We are totally seeing wonderful progress in all three of them.

Iris is doing very good. We talked with her this week...well she talked with us this week and really just vented about how she was feeling. We ended up having a great spiritual lesson and totally bonded. It was great to see. Sadly she didn't make it to church.. :( But hopefully soon. Otherwise she won't be able to get baptized on the
16th of August.
Family Martes had their baby this week! (: I am so excited to see him. They are just an amazing family in the ward. They have just taken us under their wings. Mom, she is from Germany...did you serve in Disseldorf? Her maiden name is Hartzheim. Maybe you know them!

So ya! We also met with Ronda and we taught her the restoration. She so great. Love her. She even looked up the Book of Mormon videos so that she could watch them. Hopefully they are not any anti movies..haha But she's cool.
Anne and Oma. We didnt have a lesson with them this week but Oma came to church again! She is great...even though she sleeps during half of it. haha We finally found out what her name was..It's Vernice. haha We have just been calling her Oma (Grandma) this whole time..haha But we are planning on meeting with them
on thursday.
We also had some really awesome lessons with less active members! They are totally great. Lieke is one of them..she did an exchange program in utah and stayed with members and then 2 years later got baptized. She is planning on coming back. Sidenote..would it be weird to name my future kid Lieke? It's SUCH a cute Dutch name. Anyways...haha
The Elders stopped a lady on the street the other day and she turned out to be a member! So They got her info and we met with her this week. She was baptized like 20 years ago and then she moved here and never went back. She is from Cape Verde (?). So we're meeting with her again to pretty much give her the lessons. Pray that she will be open to it!

Well. The Lord really has blessed us this week!! I am so grateful for EVERYTHING that he does for me. He is always there for us. It's crazy cuz I was reading in my journal entry from a year ago and it's crazy how much I have grown And the cool experiences that I had in the MTC. It was definitely an eye opener for me.
For Pday we all went to Den Haag and played sports with the other zone. It was great. I dont have the pictures with me though so I'll have to send them next week. The weather has been soo great!
I hope the Netherlands beats Chile tonight. (: I hear US tied with Portugal? hmm I hope we do better! I think I know more about the World cup here, on my mission, then I would if I was at home. It's so fun!
Anyways! I love you so much and I am so blessed to have such wonderful people that support me and love me. I love you guys!
