Hoi familie!
Long time no hear!... Not! Seems like yesterday I was at this Internet Cafe reading your wonderful emails! =) This has been a most wonderful week.. great things happened, are happening, and will happen.. Ama.. planning on being baptized this coming saturday.. 6 days.. craziness! I look back on the first day we met her, and I just shake my head in awe.. can't believe that it's come this far, and will go even farther.. truly a miracle from god! We met with her 4 times or so last week.. finished all the lessens, she has no problem with them and is so happy to be getting baptized.. she wanted to see the baptismal font, so after church yesterday, we watched the restoration dvd by the baptismal font, and even before we started watching the film.. she was tearing up, and all she could say at the end of the film, was "it's true.." I am being blessed here.. I will be the first one to admit it.. so cool to see.. seeing the change in people, seeing someone come closer to god, and gaining a testimony in the Restored Gospel is just priceless and never get's old. So this week we will be busy meeting and strengthening Ama every day, so nothing will happen, and planning her baptism.. a lot of people are excited for it here in Den Haag, the other missionaries here have a lot of investigators on the edge, and for them to be able to see a baptism will be absolutely huge for them! Good things are happening here! As for Rosa, man, the devil.. he just sends all sorts of things at people, and Rosa got hit hard this week with tribulation.. but.. we did our best to fight through it, and we weren't able to make an appoinment this weekend, and it was looking like we weren't going to be able to see her at all because she was a little sick, so we decided to buy her some flowers, and bring her over a couple of church movies, and we dropped them off.. We didn't know if it would be awkward or not since we really don't know her that well, and we don't have a steady or any sort of a program with her yet, but using a baseball analogy, we went for a homerun, and she loved it! So appreciative of the flowers, said that she is crazy about flowers, and she was so grateful because no one ever does kind of thing for her, so me and my companion think we hit a triple with that kind deed.. and so she's still positive, and hopefully.. hopefully.. i'm praying for it, hopefully we'll see some good progression from her this week.. we really want to get her to the baptism and then to church this week.. I think once she comes she'll not be able to leave! Well.. that's pretty much the updates with those two wonderful people, have some potentials that we have appointments with this week.. we'll see how it goes.. Love you all.. thanks for all your support! Today I get to go to Spijkenisse and visit Familie De Reus with my Brazilian buddy Elder Da Cruz, looking forward to it!
Alright, have a good week
Your son, brother, and friend!
Elder Mohrman
