This
past week was a good one. Our investigators are finally making some
decent progress. It has been so cool witnessing the small, miracles that
the Lord provides for his children. The family we found a few weeks ago
langs de deur are amazing. we taught them teh restoration last week and
invited them to be baptized and they said they would definitely be
baptized if the Holy Ghost prompted them to do so. They are basically
already missionaries...they keep extra bibles in their car and if they
ever need to hand them out for any reason, they do. They really believe
in the bible and when we introduced the Book of Mormon they thought it
was also great...we Moroni's promise in Moroni 10:3-5 and they just kept
saying "amen" haha it was sweet. We have another lesson with them this
Friday. Things are looking up in Assen! We are working hard finding,
teaching, and finding some more, and teaching some more. It's crazy....I
got the idea from my good friend Kale Smith (who is serving in South
Korea) to pray for a family to find teach and baptize so that's what we
did, we prayed to find a family to teach (Another strong family is just
what Assen needs in it's little branch) and a week later we found
Patrick and Melony while knocking doors. It's the little miracles that
give strength and courage to keep going!!!!
Also
last week we had a lesson with our investigator Charlene who is so
great but hasn't come to church for the longest time and is so
busy...but we had family home evening with her and her two kids. The
lesson went great...and at the end, Charlene said the closing prayer and
got a little teary eyed because she said she felt the spirit so
strongly...We are praying that she and her 9 year old daught Telysha get
baptized soon. Charelene just had to get married haha...but it'll
happen :) That's what prayer is for, right?!?
Transfers
are this week. Sister Jensen is getting transfered to Ijmuiden and I am
staying here in Assen and getting Sister Johanson, who has been in
Belgium for the past 2 transfers or so. I have met her once and she is
adorable and so sweet! I am excited. I have learned a lot from Sister
Jensen this past transfer. I will miss her! But I know she will do great
things in her next city.
Well, thank you all
for your wonderful emails! Mom, I hope you had a great birthday. Also
hope y'all enjoyed the package :) That's about all the time I've got!
Have a great week everybody and see some miracles. Here's a great quote
by President Monson "Hope is taking action when doubting would be
easier" don't be afraid to act on those spiritual promptings! Some of
you may have some decisions in your life to make. Don't afraid to trust
an unknown future to a known God. Just do what the Lord wants for you to
do and step back and watch the blessings come! He loves us so much and
wants to bless us and see us make progress. I love you all! :)
and of course...pictures :)
Love your giraffe hat! Grateful for small miracles too!
