Geliefde Familie:
That
was my favorite quote from this week. We got sushi with the other
missionaries today, and my district leader said that about the pickled ginger
haha.
What is your new
address?? And when can I start writing to it? I sent a hand-written letter home
with a woman that used to live in Groningen. She was visiting her parents (who
are wonderful) so I got to meet her. I live in her house! I wish I could have
sent home some Dutch things, but I didn't want to be taking up room in her
suitcase, so I'll have to send home a package around Christmas.
So yeah mom if you
could send my winter coat at some point that'd be good. Other delicacies I
want....I don't know, Grammy sent me peanut butter and Oreos that I received at
a zone training and made me very happy. But Eyeliner (the waterproof kind from
Rimmel or L’Oreal that is a roll up pencil) and mascara would be appreciated because
they are sooooo expensive here.
This week we had an
investigator have a vision. Seriously. He was asking about tithing and if he
really was supposed to go through with baptism, and he had a dream! Like Lehi!
We told him to read the two chapters in 1 Nephi because it was so similar. I hope
he decides to be baptized. He's awesome, he just needs to take the leap!
Funny story from this
week: We planned a FHE for a less-active family in our ward. Their daughters
are so cute. It was charades. So we went over there, and I went first. They
LOVED it, which was awesome for us, because we have been so exhausted that we
DID NOT want to get up and act stuff out. But it was perfect because they would
be like, "Nee, Ik ben op de burt! Ik ben!" No it’s my turn! Mine! So
we just sat and watched them and chilled for a bit, which was great.
I had no idea there
was a new temple film. You guys know how I feel about the temple. I love it so
much. SO much. I can't wait until I can go all the time again. That's one
difficult thing about a mission, but it's okay. I'm doing OTHER important
things.
Dad, Grammy told me
the story about how you had issues of not having a butt on your mission on a
bike. I guess I must be more...shall we say "blessed" than you were, because
I am not having any soreness issues from my bike! Blessings from heaven.
Heavenly Father knows what we can handle. I actually do have a testimony of
that. Heavenly Father gives us a way to do everything that he needs us to do.
Sometimes what we plan for ourselves is not reachable, but if it's what Heavenly
Father wants you to do, He WILL provide a way if we LET him. We need to ask for
his help constantly. I am so thankful to be the daughter of such a loving
Father in Heaven.
I love you all so
much. I miss you terribly. Sorry I can't spell the word "because." I
want you to know that I CAN indeed spell it, but when I'm typing fast, it
always is spelled wrong, so sorry about that. Also, if any of you were
wondering, my stomach still makes noises uncontrollably.
IK HOU VAN JULLIE!
Make good choices, be
good people, WORK WITH THE MISSIONARIES! It's SOOOOO much in the members’
hands.
So thankful I get to
spend eternity with you weirdoes,
Zuster Heilner
