Hoi familie!!
I'm emailing for the first time in 8 months somewhere other
than the Antwerpen church! And emailing for the first time on a
normal keyboard, not one of those french ones and it is difficult!! I've
forgotten where everything is on this thing! But i am in den haag, I came
last friday, and it's been great so far. Love my companion, he's a great
guy and were having a lot of fun together, today we were playing ping pong on
our little coffie table =P We've also already seen some miracles!
They had an investigator who's name is steven. He's from ghana, and i had
my first appointment with him on saturday, I asked him different questions to
see where he was and what not, and he said that he had prayed about the book of
mormon and knew that it was true... pretty cool, so i asked him what does that
mean or affect his life, and he said that he now needs to follow the teachings
of joseph smith because he's a prophet.. so I told him that the teachings of joseph
smith say that we need to be baptized into the church, and he was all for it,
and so we set a baptismal date with him for in a couple of weeks!! Not bad for
a first day huh? =) He's a really cool guy, reminds me a lot like
charles, someone who just gets it right from the get go, they had only had a
couple of appointments before the one on saturday, so we still have to teach
him everything, but it's going to go super fast.. he came to church and
everything, so he will definitely get baptized this transfer. Also had a
cool expirience, a sister missionary who served in den haag a while ago, told
me to look up some investigator she had when she was here, but i had forgotten
the name, but on sunday that lady came to church randomely, she said that she
had a feeling that she needed to go, and she asked for a blessing, so i gave
her a blessing in dutch, and then after making an appointment with her, I found
out who she was.. don't believe that was coincidental! And also an
investigator that i had the first time around, a cool chinese girl, has agreed
to meet with us again, once she comes back from vacation.. she's a cool story,
and that is the person, I really hope will progress.. so cool things
already! It was hard to leave, but it was time.. i don't feel antwerpen-sick,
like i felt spijkenisse-sick, probably because it was dragged out for so long,
and i'm back in a familiar place.. it was interesting to be back in church, and
seeing old faces, recognizing them, but not knowing there names any more;... a
lot of people recognized me, mainly because i gave the sacred grove cards out
the first time around, they said "óh your the card elder".. well, i
think that's all i have to report today, and all that i'm willing to type, this
keyboard is starting to annoy me!!! but i love you all, thanks for
everything! And looking forward to hearing from you guys next week!
