Hey folks! I am so grateful today. I am just in awe this week of how much Heavenly Father loves me. He is just...so amazing. SO many things happened this week.. I don't even know where to begin. First off, I am going to Utrecht with sister Verdegem and sister Wood! Sister Verdegem is from Belgium and I was actually just on exchanges with her...3 days ago haha so it will be fun to be their companion. I have never had 2 other companions at the same time. So this will be fun haha I am going to miss sister Brophy SO MUCH. We don't even know what to do with ourselves, that's how sad we are. But we really are blessed because we are only 30 min away so we are going to be going on exchanges together and I can come work in Capelle! Sister Verdegem is the sister training leader, so that's why we will go on exchanges. This is going to be fun. haha
So everything with Iris is going good. She came to church and she loves it. We are meeting with her
on Tuesday to set another date with her and I will say goodbye:( I don't want to leave this place because the people here are seriously the best ever. Oh so sad. Ali is good? We heard from someone that he might be a criminal...so that's exciting. haha They will be meeting with him this week...so we will see how that goes. haha Mano is great...minus the fact that he got hit by a car and broke his leg in 2 places. I swear everyone I am with gets hurt/has to go to the hospital...Why do I say that? Because I was on exchanges with sister Verdegem in Utrecht and she has been having some heart problems so we went to the doctor
on Thursday night and he pretty much did nothing...and then the next day we were going to exchange back but Sister Verdegem woke up with a numb left arm..and it was hurting her so we called sister Robinson and she told us to go to the Emergency Room. So we did! We biked there....haha we are stupid. I wish I could tell more details but pretty much, Heavenly Father really planned things out perfectly because our appts in Capelle canceled and sister Brophy and Anjewierden were able to come to Utrecht and go to the appts that they had planned. And it was no coincidence that I was with sister Verdegem though. They were drawing blood and poking her with needles and I thought it was so cool to see but if sister brophy or anjewierden would have been there, they would have passed out because they hate blood. So I stayed in the hospital until
6 pm as they ran test after test on her and they didn't figure anything out...But she is okay. I got to see her heart on an Ultra Sound. I am kinda taking this as a sign that I should become a nurse because I thought it was so cool and they way they treated her was awful so I want to be a great nurse and help people out. We'll see how that works out. haha So pretty much I was in utrecht for 2 days and wore the same outfit for 3 days straight...haha awkward. haha but everything is good now.
We got to have a mission wide conference this week and we heard from Elder Ballard, Elder Halstrum and Elder Dyches. Super cool. The thing that I learned/ really stuck out to me was how important prayer is. We can teach people and tell them all these things but if they don't pray and ask for themselves, nothing is going to come of it. I challenge you all to read and sincerely pray to know if the Book of Mormon is true. I can tell you that it its. It's a beautiful book. I love it and I know the principles that are inside of it will help us have the happiest life. I love the gospel. It's great.
What else? That's about it. I am out of time. I love you guys. I can't believe time is going by this fast...it's insane. But GOOD JOB MOM AND DAD for doing a tri!!! Sooooo awesome. haha I love you and can't wait to hear from you again!
Miss you!
