Hoi Familie!

Another week... I'll get straight to our investigators here, Lilian came to church again, this time stayed for all three hours, and even stayed for the Potluck they call it lunch afterwards.. really sweet, she's made progress every week, and it's awesome to be able to see and witness that. In sunday for Sacrament meeting, there were 4 speakers and they all took a different commandment.. we havenn't talked about commandements yet with LIlian but she got bombarded with Word of Wisdom, Law of Chasity, Tithing, and fasting all on sunday! She didn't say anything about it.. so I suppose all is good with her?! ha ha it was interesting We were expecting a few other investigators in church, but they didn't end up showing.. I wonder now after the fact if it was a good thing they didn't show up! Get everything all at once ha ha.. but no it was kind of dissapointing.. we have a young couple as investigators and I was praying and planning and thinking of ways to get this couple to church.. even went to there house saturday night as a suprise visit to get them to church and we got a soft commitment that "they would probably come".. they didn't obviously so a little dissapointing.. but it's okay, because at ward council the first part of there meeting was all about our investigators and a game plan on how to fellowship them and get them to church.. That was awesome.. We weren't even there.. but it's really nice to have the ward working so hard with us for these investigators. That doesn't happen too much.. As for Rick.. he also didn't come to church, he was on fire and was thinking of people to invite to church with him.. the people that he decided on however anti-ed him.. told him we were a cult and bla bla bla.. and so he didn't come, and he's still in contact with the family from church.. so hope is not lost, but he got bombarded by adversity this past week.. rough.. won't answer our calls, so we have to rely on the member to be able to get another appointment with him and hopefully help him out. Oh and Lilian is from Aruba, and I learned from her that Netherlands is the official language there! That's Surniame and now Aruba and a couple other Islands.. I'm thinking future vacation spots for sure.. =)
Hit another wall with Language.. pretty frustrating, but i've been taking all my free time in the morning and at night in studying the language.. Don't know why learning a language has to be so hard.. can't it just be simple? Come naturally.. something like that.. but alas it doesn't.. just have the comfort that it does eventually come!
Me and my companion it seems like we've run into and talked to many different people who do many different things.. Só i've made a sort of bucket list.. of things I want to do when I get back from things that i"ve observed over here. It seem like every couple of days the list just keeps growing and growing.. one of them was to become a good cook! And i'm been expermenting while i've been over here.. starting to use spices when I cook meat.. and though it may sound simple and is simple for all you natural cooks, that's a huge step for me!! =P
But no.. all is good.. we have a couple other potentials that we found this past week that we will be looking up, and if you all could just keep Lilian and Rick, and our other investigators in your prayers that would be great ;)
Love you all, and thanks for the emails..
Tot de volgende week! I just have to wonder.. who's email will you all read first.. mine.. or the bugs? =P ha ha
