Week 64: Crazy week!

Hey family! (: Oh this week was pretty crazy! haha But it was sooo good. I love the work, it seriously is amazing. I am starting to get anxious about going home but I know that there has to be an end at some point. Thank you for the great emails this week. It is so awesome to hear from all of you!

A member who is a photographer took picutres of my companions and me.

So sadly Melonie's baptism didn't go through this weekend..Her mother ended up getting really sick and had to go to the hospital on Friday. She is staying there for a couple of days but we aren't sure exactly what happened. So pray for her. We will see if she is getting baptized this weekend or not. But It was so cool because we (the young women, mellonie and us) did this skit for the ward and Mellonie did so good. haha (: We just had so much fun. And Mellonie was talking to a member afterwards and she told him why she was getting baptized and it was beautiful to hear. She will get baptized soon. 

We have a new investigator named Finston! he is from Congo and SUPER nice. He really is looking for the truth so we hope we can help him find out for himself. 

The members here are amazing. JUST LOVE THEM. I feel at home with them and just enjoy every second when I am around them! Sunday was just great and the spirit was strong. I love fast and testimony meeting.

Hans, one of our other investigators came to church and he was so great in the investigator class! We hope to be setting a date with him this week! HE JUST NEEDS TO CHOOSE. haha

I really have learned sooo much about patience and agency these past couple of weeks. I think it is great how Heavenly Father puts us in the PERFECT situations to learn things that we wouldn't learn any other way. We had interviews President and Sister Robinson and it was GREAT! I have come to realize how negative I am to myself. I am so hard on myself. But I talked with sister Robinson about it and she totally gave me the BEST advice. It is all about understanding the love that God has for us and having that love for ourselves. So I have been praying so that I can see the moments when i am super negative and then change them before they start making a snowball effect. i hope that made sense. haha If it doesn't...sorry. It's hard to put my thoughts into words haha

The zoo was great! (: LOVED IT.

We also had a sisters conference in the mission home and it was SO much fun. We learned tons about the Priesthood and how we are all empowered with priesthood power. Yes, even us women. SO STOP COMPLAINING PEOPLE. haha Not saying any of you are complaining about it but just thought I would throw that out there. We are privilaged to have the priesthood restored to the earth today. It is a great blessing. And I am so grateful for the worthy priesthood holders in my life. Dad, Ty, Kyler, Gpa (both of you), Uncles and friends. Thank you for being willing to use God's love and power to serve us. It is a burden sometimes but you have no idea the blessings that come from it. 

I love you guys soooo much! (: keep being amazing. I will see you sooner than you can say "ik hou van je meer dan een grote kus van Zuster Kohlert." haha
