Hello everyone!
This week was amazing!! We talked to so many people. We
stopped them while biking, walking, talking everything. 
Tuesday
we were there and we met a guy, A. He said that he had been praying for
someone that could help him come closer to God. But nothing or no one came. But
then God sent us to him. Then on Saturday we stopped by to make an appointment
and we asked him if there was anything we could do for him. He asked us to pray
for him. He really wants to learn more. Finding the elect is so awesome! We also talked to a lady on the street, and we barely talked to her daughter actually. We had a lesson with her yesterday and she said she really wants to repent and convert (bekeren in Dutch sometimes it's hard to tell which one they mean haha). She was so awesome! We also had 2 other lessons this week with two 16 year olds that are amazing! They can all be baptized! I know God puts us in the right places if we are willing to follow the promptings. I know that if we learn how to recognize the promptings, revelations, we will recognize Him at the last day.
I read something in the Book of Mormon about recognizing His voice. Revelation helps us to recognize his voice, so we will know Him and recognize Him.
We saw a sloth this week. (luiaard).
We have another really cool investigator J. We think he has
autism, so we need to go very slow. We took a member with us. And it was
awesome! He even invited him to come to church and he could pick him up. He
didn't come, but he told us that he really wants to come next week.
We had another member present lesson with our Guyanese family. The
cancelled our two last appointments so I was kind a scared that we had to drop
them. But wow. NO. On the contrary. So let me tell you. She used to believe in
God, but is leaning towards science now. We invited them to pray last
time. And he prayed a lot actually! That even surprised her! So we committed
them to pray every day. Usually she wouldn't be willing to do that, because she
doesn't know why and who she is praying to. But now she said that it wasn't a
hard thing to do. So they will pray every day. And that's a huge thing! The
member shared her testimony and told them to pray. The Spirit was so strong. I
couldn't talk after the lesson because I was in shock of their progression!
It's so awesome to see the change and progress in people. That is literally the
most amazing part of a mission.
My testimony of the priesthood grew this week.
Justin received the gift of the Holy Ghost. I was sitting behind the piano still, but he
was just smiling and he was grabbing his heart. I knew he felt the Spirit.
Another lady got baptized yesterday and received the gift of the Holy Ghost too and my
companions told me that Justin said: 'she got the power too?' He said he feels
sure ("Ik voel me verzekerd"). Partaking of the sacrement was really
special for me too. I was just so grateful for the young man who gave me the
bread and water. My heart was filled with the Spirit and testified to me that
this is the only true church. I'm so grateful that Joseph Smith restored the Church.
Because of Him we have the power and authority to lead this church and perform
saving ordinances. Because of the priesthood I can take from the sacrement and
start again.
I know the Church
of Jesus Christ is restored on the earth again. Built on a foundation of
prophets and apostles, Jesus Himself being the chief corner stone. I know God
lives. He interacts with us. We can talk to him every single day. Prayers helps
me so much. I love my Father in Heaven. Seek Him an I promise you that you will
find Him. He loves you. I love you. In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Lobi,
Zuster
