Gliefde Familie,
I did a lot of walking
this week. And knocking doors. That's why. It's so frustrating. Most people
here haven't seen "Hastening the Work of Salvation," so they think
they don't need to help us. This work is not us anymore. My companion said, "We
are here to help the members do missionary work, not the other way
around." And also, "missionaries are full-time teachers, that means
members are full time finders." I think she read that in the Liahona or
something. IT'S SO TRUE PEOPLE. A member of the bishopric called me on Sunday
seeing if I could give a talk the next Sunday and I basically took it
as an opportunity to tell everyone that they're missionaries and we need
them.
So yeah, this week was
really kinda hard. I don't usually get home sick, I don't usually feel like I'm
not getting anywhere, but this week I kinda did. But it doesn't matter because
if I focus on my needs less and just do the work, the Lord WILL provide, I know
it.
Temple conference was
so cool. We watched the old video but in Dutch. It was sooooo awesome.
Everything in Dutch. It was kinda hard actually finding the temple, but we did
it and it was awesome. That's my miracle this week.
I love you guys so
much. Miss you! Especially around the holidays, but it's okay because I'm
helping other people be together for eternity.
My companion is an angel. Seriously, she is amazing. She told me president was sending her
to me because she needed a break but I'm afraid it's just as hard here. Maybe she doesn't have to
worry about me, but our appointments keep falling through and stuff. UGH.
Anyway, yeah, I got a new bike. I needed to. I have had signs enough. My last bike actually broke too.
I didn't get a new coat because I have a
wonderful one. Seriously, I am soooooo glad you sent me the one from Russia. I
just wish it had a hood. If you can find a cute rain hat...that'd also be good
for Christmas. Buttttt you know you're Dutch when you can bike and hold an
umbrella. And HOLLA AT ME GURL I can do that.
IK HOU VAN JULLIE!
Love,
Zuster Heilner
