Happy Fourth!

Time flies, I feel like I was just writing last week's email! I feel like that's how time is out here - it just gets faster and faster. Even though I always think there's no way it can continue getting faster! Glad to hear your fourth was fun, mine was pretty un-America-y, haha. :)

Well, this week was another preparation sort of week. We had lots of good plans but many fell through and our backup plans weren't super great... So this week, that's changing! BUT we were able to see a lot more inactive members this last week, which was AWESOME. And we scheduled return appointments so we're meeting with them all again this week!

Li. is doing super great. She couldn't make it to church because of visiting family but should be there next week! We met her husband. He seems really nice! We're just praying and praying for his heart to be softened.

HS. CAME TO CHURCH. It was amazing! And he loved it! And he wants to come again! It's amazing to me how far he's come since I met him in April. Truly amazing.

We set up two appointments with Jy. for this week, and they WILL go through. I'm going to pray so hard for that. I know he's so close! Just has to get serious.

Our musical number was forgotten yesterday, which is a bummer because we got JoVos in on it to help us! (Diederik and Ronan) and it was going to be great! We'll just do it another time. :)

Not tons of time... Let's see here. Sister Verdegem and I are starting to truly become great friends. We were working together, and it was going all right, but wow, it's amazing now!  ALSO. This was the most successful Speak your Language week I've ever had. It helps to have a Nederlandstalige companion. :)

I read Elder Holland's talk from the Saturday Morning session of last conference for my study this morning and wow. I feel so privileged to be out here and to "[suffer] it" just a LITTLE bit like Christ did. What a great talk! Go read it or watch it, it's SO good.

 

LOVE YOU SO MUCH!
