ahhhh! Running out of time!

June 9

Kinderdijk with the Utrecht gang!

 Stroopwafels in the pouring rain with sister Hoff.

 Cool ranch Nederland style.

We have to go catch a bus to our dinner appointment so this may be quicker than usual but here we go!

This was a crazy week. We started it out with two exchanges - I spent Tuesday with Sister Stevens in Dordrecht and Wednesday with Sister Rosenlof here in Utrecht. I sure love working with these sisters. They're amazing and I learn so much from them! I'm doing my best to help them in the ways that they need it. I love them a lot. :) Anyway, the rest of the week was fairly normal I suppose, except for Saturday and Sunday which consisted of travel and stake/regional conference and wow. It was crazy! But really great!
Well... Li. is doing really well! She wanted to come to stake conference but some family ended up coming to visit for Pentacost weekend and she wasn't able to. She said she's definitely coming this next week though! She has the cutest little kids - one is Gi., who's 6, and he said he wanted to come with her to church. It was the cutest thing! We just need to help her husband see the light and this whole family could be brought into the fold!
Jy. is still as excited as ever to be baptized. His date is getting closer and closer and we're actually a little bit nervous we're going to be cramming a bunch of lessons in the last week before because his work schedule is crazy! But it'll be okay whatever happens, the Lord is in charge! 
Today we actually had a lesson with a referral that Li. gave to us - Vi. She's also a young mother. We had a great first lesson and she said that she doesn't want further visits right now simply because she's super busy at the moment, but she did say that she was excited to read the Book of Mormon, and that she wouldn't have taken it if she wasn't going to read it. I know it will touch her if she's open to it!

Stake conference was really great! We had a hard time hearing in the Rotterdam building but it was great to hear some words from our apostles and other leaders! Also I got to see a bunch of members from Dordrecht!

 

Please go watch the "Prayer" Mormon message. I cried. Also, I heard John Legend on the bus this week and it was a tender mercy of the Lord.

 

LOVE
