Week 68: Running around with my head cut off...

Hey family!! How are you doing!? haha It was funny cuz daddy wrote in his letter that it feels like he just was writing me yesterday...and I feel the exact same way. Like I feel like there is nothing to special to tell you guys but I should probably tell you something anyways. haha I think I am hitting the "oh I'll be home in 4 weeks and can tell them in person" stage of my mission. haha Sorry, I will try my hardest not to let that happen. 

I love Heavenly Father. He is so amazing. I think this week I was sooo caught up in the "bigger" details of missionary work that I wasn't able enjoy the small little miracles that happen every day. And then I look back on my week and I think, "man, what did I even do this week that brought this amazing happiness to those aroundme?" Then I thought of some amazing things and so I will share those things with you!

I had the privilege of working with 2 of the sisters in my zone this week and it was amazing. I swear, these greenies are no regular greenies. They came pre-trained and ready to preach the gospel. I learned soo much from them. On one of these exchanges I was able to be in Capelle!! And I got to visit a TON of the previous investigators that we had when i was there. It was soo cool! Iris is doing great, Mano is doing awesome but sadly the Meisjes are not doing as well. There were some awesome things that happened that made me realize that exchanges are SO inspired! It was cool to see. Sorry, the stories would take WAY to long to explain..haha But just know that the Lord planned exchanges PERFECTLY this week. 

 Another little thing: haha just randomly after praying before going into an appointment a couple passed by us and before I knew it my hand grabbed a pass a long card and my mouth was speaking to them. Turns out that the lady had just told her husband a couple of days before that she wanted to find a new church! so that was cool!

We were knocking doors yesterday, after a long and hard day, and we just kept enduring even though NO ONE wanted to listened. The last house that we knocked on was this 23 year old girl(Lady?) haha who was so cool and wanted to hear about what we believed in. We gave her a restoration on the door and unfortunately she didn't want us to come back but she was definitely sincere and said she would read the plan of salvation pamphlet. It was just cool to see that we still could plant seeds even when we had bad days. The catch was that WE NEEDED TO PUT IN THE WORK.

We also had dinner with Susan and Henk again this week! They are amazing. ANd guess what? Henk's children were there! Löis (girl, 16) and Jarno (boy, 13) And afterwards we got a call from Susan saying that the kids LOVED us and they want to come to the thanksgiving dinner that we are having with Susan and Henk! COOOLLLL HUH??? We taught them about heavenly father last time. I hope they felt His love.

We fasted and prayed for an lessactive who was getting brain surgery this week and everything went super well! He is back to his normal self just after 4 days! (: fasting and praying works my friends!

We set up 2 appointments with potential investigators for this week so we are excited! 

I am feeling super trunky...and it sucks. But focusing on the work has definitely helped! Am so ecited to be able to see you guys! AHHH It's crazy. I love you and miss you! Hope you have a wonderful week, I know mine is going to be CRAZY. haha

Love you,
