This week has been amazing as always! It has been really cool,
in the last couple of days I have really felt myself losing myself in the work
here. I am more and more centered here and not focused on home or how much
longer I have or anything like that. It is neat to see myself truly focusing on
what is important. Missionary life is truly becoming second nature.
Funny thing that happened this
week: We went to an inactive member's home and talked to him about how he needs
to come back to church and all this other stuff. Anyways, at the end of our
discussion he decides to start talking politics. We quickly started trying to
get the topic back on the right track but it wasn't really working. He asked
why the church didn't stop the U.S. from going to Iraq the first time. I tried
to explain that the church doesn't get involved and other things but that
didn't seem to please him so I finally just told him that it is the last days
and there are going to be wars. He needs to prepare but the way is through the
church and not in the government. I don't know if he really liked my answer but
at least we got him off politics.
I have realized this week that I really love Breda! It is a
beautiful city! I love the people and the ward here. Our investigators are
amazing and making progress. It is hard but so fulfilling. Sister Morris and I
have decided to name this transfer
Operation: Love the Lord, Love
the People, Love the Land
We have decided to write down all the things we love about every
day. Love is the center of everything in the gospel, life, and basically
everything. Think about it, almost if not all the songs on the radio are about
some type of love. But that kind of love isn't the type we are trying to focus
on. We are trying to have the love of Christ for those we come in contact with
and also truly love what we are doing every day. I have begun to try and be
super enthusiastic when we knock on people's doors. If you come to the door
unenthusiastic, then no one is going to want to listen anyways. So I have
decided to be truly happy every time I talk to someone. I love the people of
the Netherlands and if I can show them that love, miracles will happen. The
ward is doing amazing and we are working with them to build their own family
mission plan. It is really cool and I am excited for them to see miracles.
We got to watch the Belgium vs. Argentina game this week!!! We
were so excited to finally get to watch one of the games!! I was sad that
Belgium lost but it was fun to see them play anyways!! Nederland won and that
was most important!! The ward was pretty excited on Sunday!! Our investigator
promised to not fast that Nederland would win. He is getting the purpose of fasting!!
:)
This work is incredible and it is truly hastening!! I love being
a part of this work and seeing the signs of the times. We are truly in the last
days and the Lord is hastening is work!
I can't wait to see what this week will bring!!
