Sorry for all of you who don't know that Backstreet Boys reference (or is it Nsync?)
Anyways,
this month is already rolling into May which is crazy. I honestly feel
like I just got into the land. Also, If you're wondering why I'm emailng
you today it's because this Monday is a national holiday called "Kings
Day", pretty much every one wears orange and is drunk and I honestly
don't know why it's even a holiday or what actually happens on kings day
, all I know is it's on a p-day so we had to switch our p-day to today
because they want us out proselyting all day on kings day...so that's
exciting. I also am going to Germany on Kings Day for a dinner
appointment so that's something else exciting. Yay for small countries!
Anyways,
not much has happened since last Monday...So this email might be pretty
short...sorry. I am learning my way around Assen and it's growing on
me. I love the people and the atmosphere of the city. Our apartment is
right by the centrum so we look out our window and see everything going
on. It's been raining today but other than that it's been pretty nice
weather. We bike literally everywhere...I absolutely love it. My thighs
are hating me though haha.
There are still
some invesigators I haven't met yet because we haven't been able to get
in contact with them since I got here a week and a half ago, but I hear
they are great. I am excited to meet them. We work with a lot of less
actives and do lots of service. But it's great. We are praying for new
investigators too. We are working hard and having fun. We come in each
night exhausted and plan and get ready for bed then pray then we are
out...then we wake up and do it all over again and I have to say there's
nothing else I would rather be doing with my time. A hard thing about
missionary work is that the days are almost exactly the same and you
have to be diligent and have the same energy and excitement about each
new day. It's great. It makes you appreciate the small little miracles
so much more. I love missionary work and I love being a missionary! Ik
hou van je allemaal en tot het volgende week!
Liefs,
Zuster Harris
