Geliefde Familie:
MTC district! |
We didn't get
transferred.
Oh so Mom, James' area in Hamburg is right next to where your's was. And he loves it. He's like, "I bet I'll meet
people that your parents know!" So that's pretty cool!
I had a pretty
interesting talk with Zr Robinson after Mission Conference. She told me that
there's a reason that I'm here in Lelystad. She also told me that the more
leadership positions she's held, the more her circle of influence increases,
but the lonelier she feels. Sure, she's got President, but who's to say that
his day was any easier? It was really interesting. She said at the end,
"You're a good missionary, Zr Heilner. And you're a good woman." It
was good to know that she really believes that I'm here for a reason.
So want to hear something cool that Elder Ballard shared with the Stake and Ward leaders of the Europe area? He told them to speak their mission language for 20 minutes a day because you never know when you'll get called to use it again. COOL. I hope I use Dutch again.

she's doing great. We had a bit of a scare when she told us her parents don't
know we meet, but then she told us that she did get permission, so phew. It's
going well. We introduced her to more ward members and she loves them.
We found a ton of new investigators. A couple of weeks ago, before we were told not to go door-to-door, we found a really cool African, and we'd been trying to follow up for weeks and we taught him last night finally. He gets it. We were talking about why he can't just keep going to his church and reading the BoM. Why he needs the Priesthood.

One of the members who
was on a mini mission two years ago took us to look up a family that he had
taught. They set up an appointment, and we met with them this week. The mom has
some really interesting ideas about Spirituality and reincarnation, but the son
is REALLY open and cool. He wants to know everything about all the churches,
but he committed to reading in the Book of Mormon and praying about it, so I
know that in time, he'll come to know that it's true.
Mission conference was
awesome. I got to sit by Ethlyn and Zr A. I miss her so much. I realized the
importance of surrounding myself with people of like mind and testimony. Zr A
leaned over and said to me, "Is this what the Celestial Kingdom will feel
like" haha...she has six weeks.
Well, sorry this is
kinda lame, but I love you guys and I know that sacrifice brings forth the
blessings of heaven. We have a lot of new investigators and we're going to be
working really hard to get them to progress. Seeds of faith have been planted
and I hope they grow into huge trees.
IK HOU VAN JULLIE!
Zr Katherine Heilner
She’s got four weeks! This is such a Heliner-Hudson moment! (I don't even remember who caught it.) |
