Geliefde Familie:
Really, this week was
quite busy. I was so tired. I AM so tired. I'd rather be tired than bored
though, so this is good.
Let's see, highlights
of the week. I know some people do it by day of the week...I think it'd be
boring if I did that personally. Hmm. First, the Gouts! Broeder Gout took
pictures of the house and showed me! And he even printed me an A4 sized picture
of Maddie. You must have told him how much I love her because he gave me a page
protector for the picture too. I love it. Also, as always, thank you for
replenishing my stock of American peanut butter candy. Knowing your daughter’s
peanut butter needs is a sign of true love.
Well, this week we hit
a new low for white-trash. Remember when we went to that little town outside of
Moscow and we all got holes burned into our coats? Well I decided I was going
to find a solution so I put black duct tape over the little tiny holes so
feathers don't come out and guess what! It works. I refuse to get a new coat. I
love mine. Duct Tape and all.
There's a really sweet
inactive lady in my ward that we visit upon request of her son, who is not a
member and usually takes the 40 minutes to tell us about how hard his life is.
He says he's got "burn out," a real medical condition here where you
get more vacation time. In America we have the same thing, but you people
probably only know it as "life." I told him that everyone gets tired
and if it's really that bad, then he's probably going to die soon if he doesn't
take it easy and read the Book of Mormon. He's ridiculous.
I went to Mass this
week! Made me think of you, Norns! I felt the Spirit for sure. I love knowing
that Heavenly Father is present wherever people are worshiping him. We had a
really cool appointment with the girl that took us to Mass afterward, too. She
thought we had a special way of converting her by having her read specific
verses in the Book of Mormon...she thought we tricked her just like "Mormons
tricked Ann Frank” by baptizing her....ugh. The internet.
I know that as we read
in the Book of Mormon, our testimony grows extremely. I've seen the converting
power of the Spirit through the Book of Mormon. Read it. I know it's true and I
know that it was translated by a prophet of God. I know it helps us in our
lives. It gives us peace when nothing else in the world can. It gives the
formula for how we can get back to our Heavenly Father and live with him for
eternity.
IK HOU VAN JULLIE.
This is so important to me. I'm so glad they called me on a mission. ;)
Keep the faith, stay
strong, power through, all the motivational things I can say...
Love,
Zuster Heilner

Sint Erklaas is in
Groningen this year! This was the centrum on the day that he came. We were
contacting for a little while before an appointment so we could catch a
glimpse, but we didn't really see him. Jammer.
