Geliefde Familie:

I guess I can go ahead
and start this email with:
WE ARE
STAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYING! We are so happy. So so happy. We screamed and
danced and almost cried last night when the APs called. What a beautiful day.
I'm staying ZTL (sister training leader) too and Zr Larson is coming to Almere
so I'll get to do exchanges with her again!
This week was good.
I'll start with the funny stuff and end with the spiritual.

| Canal in Delft |
We went to Delft this
week to visit an inactive member. She invited us. Delft is GORGEOUS. How do I
know this? Because we got hopelessly lost. It was awesome. We had a few good
contacts though. Anyway, we didn't have a map, so I had taken a picture on my
camera of directions from a member that we had gotten at a dinner appointment.
It was going alright until we got to Delft. We realized pretty early on that Zr
A's bike tire needed air. So when we got lost and the member wasn't answering,
we naturally called the Delft Elders to bail us out. We amazingly found the station,
where we were able to pump her tires for free. Then we met up with the Elders
and waited for them to grab the map. While we were waiting outside their
apartment, we heard this GUNSHOT. And I saw smoke under Sister Aston. I'm
cracking up as I type this. It turns out that her bike tire exploded because it
was too full. It was so funny. Her face...she was holding her ear with this
look of utter terror and bewilderment. I'll never forget it, and I'll probably
re-watch it on the celestial movie screen like every day for eternity.
Okay, now onto serious
matters.
E is amazing. We went
through the baptismal interview questions with her and she said she wanted a
stronger testimony of President Monson. So we watched this AMAZING video about
his life:
You guys should
definitely watch it if you get the chance. It is so good. It definitely
strengthened my testimony that he is called of God. He is a great man, and I'm
really thankful that Heavenly Father trusts him so much. I hope that I can
listen to the Spirit as well as he does. He goes such clear promptings from the
Holy Ghost and that is because of how committed he is to always heeding those
promptings. The Spirit trusts him. I receive chances every day to listen to the
Spirit--so do you. Let's all try to be better at listening to the promptings he
gives us so that we can be better instruments in His hands. That's why we're
here after all.
Well, I love you
people. Thanks for sending me those pictures, Mom. You can always send more
too. And yes, I take way more pictures than I send to you.
IK HOU VAN JULLIE!
Veel, veel liefs,
Zr Heilner
