So yep, I'm getting
transferred. I sent Mom the address so if anybody needs it (I LOVE LETTERS)
email her at rheilner@gmail.com. Lelystad, here I come!
It'll be interesting because me and my companion are new, but I hear Zr Adams
(we'll call her Zr AA I guess because her first name is A) is a really
hard worker, so I'm glad. I also got released as ZTL. I'll miss getting to go
on exchanges and going to mission leader council, but I know Zr Spencer is
going to be amazing. I'm still in den Haag zone, so I won't be super far I
guess. Zr A is going to Turnhout in Belgium and Zr W is coming here
with een groentje!

How I feel about not being
Zr A’s comp

EVERYBODY is leaving.
Some of my favorite missionaries are going home this transfer, and then if you
can believe it, my trainer is going home next transfer! Well, she extended
three weeks, but...I told myself I wasn't allowed to freak out until Zr H left,
and here we almost are. She just got called to Maastricht. She's gonna love it.
I'm so excited for her. That's such a great place.
We had a few really
cool miracles this week. We have been working a TON with less active members,
and one of them has been really struggling--she's even suicidal. I may have
told you about her last week. But anyway, she wanted a blessing, and we went
over there with the Elders to do that. So after the blessing, we decided we wanted to show her a Mormon
message, and lo and behold, there's a new one! So we were like, well, it'll
probably be good, so we played it. It's the story of a guy who was suicidal and
how he found the Savior. It's beautiful, and it was EXACTLY what she needed.
I'll share the link of it, because it's awesome and you should all share it on
Facebook or something.
So we were fasting
yesterday, and I realized how badly I miss Mom's pulled pork sandwiches...can I
request to have that on the first Sunday when I get back? I know it's random,
but I don't want to forget it.
Another great miracle:
We were at a dinner appointment, and it was going awesome. They're this young
couple that is just really fun. Anyway, we were leaving, and they asked if we
had any appointments. We told them no, but we had some people to go look
up....unless they knew anybody that needed a visit. Then they gave us this
referral of two Brazilian ladies that are SO CUTE! We went over there and they
invited us right in and we told them we had a book to share with them in
Portuguese. We of course bonded over me knowing a city in Brazil--Campinas. Anyway,
we called the Elders to see if they could meet us with a Portuguese BOM so that
we could give it to them right then, and they did and we brought it back and
taught them about the Book of Mormon and they said they'd read. It was so cool!
We planned on stopping by again this week...we will have to tell the new
sisters to do that. Oh man, soo much to do before Wednesday!
The subject line is
that Heavenly Father is aware of us. I know He is. There is a sister that
served here and went home about 4 months ago who is sort of a legend here.
She's awesome. She has something called "vapor trails," or some sign
that you see that lets you know that God loves you. I thought that was so cool,
but I couldn't figure out what mine was until a few weeks ago. I actually
prayed to know if there WAS something that He did when He just wanted me to
know He's aware. And in the middle of the night, I was woken up by a
thunderstorm, which is one of my favorite things ever. So I considered that an
answer to my prayer.

Last night, I was kind
of upset about transfers. I know it'll be fine, but I was just sad to be
leaving. I COULD NOT fall asleep, which isn't usually an issue for me, but
Wendi Self-taught me that when you can't sleep, it's because God wants to talk
to you. So I was just prayin'. And then I heard rain! Yep, thunderstorms in the
middle of the night. Love it. He's aware of us. AND THEN, I had a prompting to
open my scriptures this morning as I was packing my desk, and I flipped to a
section in the D&C that basically says, just go. It'll be okay and I don't
want you to tarry here forever. He knows.
Well I love you. I
challenge you all to look for a way that the Lord lets you know
that He cares this week.
IK HOU VAN JULLIE,
Zr Heilner
