Hello folks!
This week was gek. It started in Rainville!
I said goodbye
to some of the members. We had some really good lessons with some people. We
had a short lesson with 2 kids. We thought they weren't really interested. But
they knew so much about God and Jesus Christ!! I learned a lot from them. She
said that we need to pray because He created us. Amen. That's the least we can
do. Talk to Him and tell Him how grateful we are.
We had a really cool
experience with a member present lesson. We don't have a strong relationship
with this member. But she bore a perfect testimony and she really followed the
Spirit in teaching. We drove in the car with her, we talked some
afterwards and now our relationship is a lot better. I didn't really love this
person yet but now I do. Later that night we had a meeting. She walked in
and she waved to us. Sister Didier and I high fived each other. Mission
accomplished. That was our goal. Not for her to wave at us, but just to have a
better relationship with her.,
I went to Kwatta on Thursday. Justin came back the day
before so I said bye to him. Wow I love that man.
So KWATTA!!!!
I love it! I
love love love my companion! She is super cute, hard working, diligent, sweet person. She plays the flute and piano! It's great. She's from Canada.
On Thursday we had coordination meeting. Afterwards we
walked to our bikes and I saw the branch president standing by his car. I felt
like I should ask him if there is anything we can do for him. But I ignored it
and walked to the bikes. The thought popped up again. He was talking to the
elders and interrupting would be awkward. But I knew what I had to do. So we
walked back and we asked him if we could help him with anything. He said no. I
kept standing there and he started talking. He had a really rough week and he
told me about his struggle. I'm so glad I followed the prompting. It helped him
and it helped me. It also strengthened our relationship.
We had some awesome lessons on Saturday. Most of them about
the Restoration. There is this guy, who has been looking for a church
and just doesn't know what to believe. It was an amazing lesson. And sister
Spencer's Dutch is so good too! She has been visa waiting for 3 months, so she
didn't speak Dutch for 3 months. I know there is a God, because I know she
could not speak that well without Him. Sunday we had a really spiritual lesson with a 16 year old
boy. I didn't expect a lot (sorry me of little faith woops). But he said that
he wants to learn more about God because he knows it will help him.
I 'm working on not hesitating. I just want to DO IT. Vooral
met promptings. So there was an old woman, really cute. She was just standing
there. looked like she wanted to cross the street. We biked passed her and I
looked back and she looked at me and I was like OKAY TERUG. So we go there and
this lady immediately said are you from Zoetermeer or Zwolle? I was like how do
you know that I'm from Zwolle. Kinda weird. I don't really remember how she
like knew that, BUT we helped her crossing the road.

So I'm glad the Spirit
told me to go back. Because a lot of things could've happened. I know that if
we are willing to follow the promptings of the Spirit we have peace of mind and
we feel good, because we did God's will. I want to invite all of you to not
HESITATE, follow the promptings because that's when you follow Him. I know
Heavenly Father guides us. He leads us. I know He lives, because of that. In
the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Lobi,
zuster Spijkerman
