Another day, another week.. Oh boy!
Life is just great. I seriously can't complain about anything. I
don't know what it is, but god just keeps sending miracle after miracle,
and keeping us busy! So much happened this week, Looking back on it,
it's a little difficult to know where to begin! It was transfer week..
said goodbye to Elder Neilson and Elder Bjork.. My first two companions
in the MTC. That was a lot tougher than I thought! Probably one of the
hardest goodbye's I've had to say so far on my mission. It's crazy to
think there gone, there done! And because there gone, that means I'm
next =O But it's okay, that's why god is so great, he's keeping us busy
so I don't have to think about it! =) Advice that I got from different
people entering into my last transfer was to just make sure I have as
many appointments as possible, visit the members, visit whoever, just
make sure I'm indoors visiting with people, so I took that to heart,
since appointments are my favorite part of this missionary thing, and we
had 16 member lessens this week! That is easily by far the most I've
ever had on my mission.. and the most I've ever seen.. so neat to be
able to visit all these people, to find out who these people are, what
makes them click, and build the friendships and relationships that will
last my entire life! I told one family at church yesterday, Love them
with all my heart, so i told them that I leave in about 5 weeks, and I
wanted to make sure I came over at least once a week before I left..
they said yes, and I've done that with a number of families here in Den
Haag.. super cool, so i'm setting it up so I'll stay busy til' the end
of my mission! But not only on the member front is things going really
well, Ama.. oh bless her heart.. she came to church once again, we had
three lessens with her this past week, and she is just getting more and
more enthused about this gospel and church.. she is getting excited for
her baptism coming up.. she doesn't retain everything that we say, so we
have to review a bit, so there are question marks about the 18th if
that will go through or not on that day, but for sure she is getting
baptized this month.. I'm so happy for her, I love that woman so much!
Every wednesday we have what we call "Portia day" where Portia our
member friend who always comes on joint teach with Ama, she cooks for
us, and makes us ghanian food.. but this wednesday we told her she has
done so much for us, were going to cook for her! And also Ama is
planning on coming, so were going to make them a true blue american
meal.. good thing my companion can remember what a true american meal is
=P ha ha But I'm excited, just a good feeling when you serve people!
And Rosa.. oh wow, had some really neat lessens with her this past
week.. she is the cleaning lady for another member that we visit, his
name is george, and so past week is when we were finally able to teach
her, and wow.. some powerful lessens! She said that she had been
feeling down the whole week, but when we went over and started talking
to her, she felt peace.. we had another appiontment on saturday, but she
had to call it off because of family issues, but she called us, and
said how much she really wanted us to come over, and so we suprised
visited her yesterday and had just a wonderful visit! She is on board
for sure about learning about the church.. I'm excited to see where it
goes with her, but I have a very strong feeling that she will get
baptized, she's prepared, just when is the question.. I would love and
pray that she does before I leave, but if not, that's okay, I'm just
super grateful that I have the chance to teach her.. maybe she'll be
ready by the 15th of september, when mom and dad come.. that'd be cool
right? See a baptism while your here ;) But again we'll see.
Other than that, not much more to say.. just livin' the life.. one
day at a time.. Thank you all for your emails, they were wonderful and
great! And I look forward to hearing how all your weeks were next
week!
Love your son, bro, and friend
Elder Mohrman
