Hoi Familie!
Hoe gaat het met jullie?? I had a really wonderful week, thank you for asking! =) So at the beginning of the week, my companion and I, Elder Da Cruz, we took a step back and we said to ourselves we need to find new people! We've been finding a little bit, but we've been holding out on current investigators and finding other activities to fill up our days.. but this week, we said we were going to change all that, we were going to dedicate the week of just finding, finding, finding! And of course that's not at all what happened =P So many random things kept coming up that ruined our planned day, we went with Isaac and christiana to the "gemeente huis" I forget the word in english, it's where legaltiy stuff takes place.. government building for Antwerpen, but anyways we went there for about 3 hours with Isaac and I served as a translator for Isaac.. super crazy, but everything worked out, and all the problems that Isaac had been having with legality issues were settled, which he was very grateful for since he's been having these issues for a couple months! We then went another day to the hospital for a couple hours to help another recent convert, and just different odds and ends throughout the week.. but we still had our normal appointments with Isaac and cristiana, and with other people as well.. Cristiana is doing really well! We went over all the baptismal interview questoins and she has such a sweet pure testimony! Isaac, blessed the sacrament for the first time yesterday, and they really are just a happy "soon to be" mormon family.. Even though we weren't able to spend so much time on finding like we were planning, the Lord blessed us still with New investigators, a couple of families came out of nowhere, one from suriname, and one from Equador, we had lessens with them, they both agreed to take the lessens.. Sonia, oh man, we had no contact with her for the longest time, called her up out of the blue with hopes that she would answer, she did! She came to church with her two children, turns out one of the sisters in the ward is her sons school teacher.. they really enjoyed church, and she said that she "has a lot of questions" for us.. so we had the goal for new investigators, to replenish our teaching pool.. and we got them, just not in ways that we expected or even planned.. it's amazing how that works, but really, really excited for the coming weeks and the potential this place has to just explode.. We also had a meeting with the stake president and our mission president, as zone leaders that's our responsiblity as well, and it was interesting to be in a meeting like that where decisions were made how to better help the stake with missionary work.. so it was a good week! Really good week, sunday was such a joyful day, when we were able to get sonia to church, she was someone that has been on my mind for weeks!! Praying, even fasting.. that she would in some way be able to come to church.. and it happened, and a lot of miracles happened for her, she was really touched at church.. Kwame and Elizabeth will sadly not be being baptized this sunday with Christiana, they need to wait a couple of weeks, but Kwame came and everything to church, so I hope he handles the news okay.. pray for him!
Well I love you family, your the best, I really appreciate the Kent Williams c.d, going to listen to that as I drive around from place to place! Attached a few pictures, the one with the belgium family is Simon and his family, we went over there last saturday, and had lunch with them, really interesting and a really good visit.; they have respect for the mormons now I think =) I asked for a copy of his report that he's turning in, so that'll be interesting to see what he has to say about us.. had to straighten out some anti stuff with him =P
But anyways, love you again, have a wonderful week!
