Hoi Familie!!
Dwight and Natasje's baptism did indeed go through! It was really super and amazing.. couldn't have gone smoother and been more spiritual.. They asked me, if I would give a talk at there baptism.. so I did so on the Holy Ghost.. my first ever talk on my mission and in Dutch!! Bummer.. almost made it a year ;) They were so excited, and also the ward. They were baptized right after church, and most of the ward stayed to support them.. also, we had 4 investigators show up! Tom came, Pat came.. and two new investigators that we got this week, Naika.. and Robbie... Couldn't have been better for these people.. Naika.. called us actually letting us know that she was coming to church.. she's from curaco, and after having a great lessen with her with a couple of sisters from the ward, I had another lady from the ward introduce herself to her as she's also from curraco and it turns out that they were neighbors.. in curraco.. they freaked out, lot of hugs.. kisses.. papioments.. the language there.. absolutley crazy. Naika couldn't beleive it, and the other sister couldn't believe it.. and Naika is super excited to now meet with us, and we have an appointment with her on thursday!
Another new investigator that we got this week, was Bas.. he was the referal from a returned missionary passing through here about a month ago..Pete Arens.. and we stopped by after a few weeks, and he finally let us in,and we were able to get to know him and teach him.. he opened up, and told us about his life and his problems.. and we were able to share scriptures out of the book of mormon about the savior and let him know that god loved him.. he got emotional and we were able to explain our purpose what we do.. lessens that we share that sort of thing.. and he thinks it's all a great idea, and wants to go further to see if he can find the peace he's looking for.. absolutley an amazing lessen! Amazing expireince.. It was great to get some new blood into our teaching pool as we've been riding all these
great investigators that we've had these past few months.. Really excited for this up and coming transfer! Which will be in Spijkenisse for a 3rd transfer.. excited about that, and also excited about my new companion.. he's from Brazil.. his name is Elder Da Cruz.. and He speaks about 5 languages.. just a master with language.. he's going on his 6th i'm going on my 8th, so not too much of a gap, and he has a lot of expirience already, we'll be able to take off with a running start hopefully! ;) Thanks for all the birthday wishes.. doesn't even feel like sep 3rd is my birthday.. my birthday it feels like is sep. 8th.. my year mark on the mission =P But I got two packages so far and one of the envelopes and also the birthday card from grandma and grandpa bell!! Thanks so much!
Love you all
Tot ziens
Elder Mohrman
