so i´m emailing a day late because the COOLEST thing happened sunday night. we saw this cute little old lady walking on the street so we decided to talk to her. We gave her a book of mormon and she also mentioned that she was moving the next day, so we offered to help. she accepted! so we went yesterday and helped her move! it was the coolest experience! She is 72 years old and had to pack up all her things and try to move with only the help of her son and one moving guy. She really needed our help and we were able to get tons done! She was so grateful for our help and kept calling us angels. We´re going to go visit her next week when she´s all settled into her new house! another funny thing was when we were packing up the truck, the moving guy was really impressed with my truck packing skills and organization of the boxes haha and he kept asking if i had done this before.. i guess delivery driving at byu paid off hahah.
also sorry not sorry for my punctuation/capitalization in this email. continue
baaaaassiiiccaaallly we had a really good week of missionary work! i picked up sister elggren on wednesday and we taught some amazing people. coolest thing was on tuesday night zuster klenk and i were at the station dropping off our bikes to prepare for transfers the next day. we saw this young, punk looking guy sketching and zuster klenk had actually seen him a couple times throughout the day and we both knew we needed to talk to him. well his name is Geis and he didn´t seem super interested but he did accept the tabbed book of mormon. he said, "het doet geen kwaad." we gave him our number, but i didn´t even think to ask for his number. i don´t know why. THAT NIGHT he called US and said he had read the chapters under the tabs "Wat verwacht Jezus Christus van mij?" "Bestaat er een God?" and "Kent God mij?" and kept saying that the book is "mooi" or beautiful. We made an appointment with him and taught him on Friday. Turns out he´s only 18 and is the freaking coolest!!! His younger sister died last year and he´s not religious so we had the chance to share the plan of salvation lesson with him and also were able to help him understand who Jesus Christ is. He is sooo open and cool!!
We also met with Guido on thursday. Guido is also soooo cool! He´s the one we met a couple weeks back who was taught by sisters in Zwolle. He is not religious either, so we had the chance to talk about who Jesus Christ is with him. I love helping people understand what Jesus Christ has done for us all and how he can help us! It´s amazing. Breda is really cool because most people here aren´t religious or are religious but don´t practice. So we get to help them find that purpose to their life. Anyway, Guido and Geis are sooo cool and so open and had so many questions. I learned so much from both of them and am so excited to continue to teach them.
Another cool miracle happened when we were riding our bikes back from an appointment and we saw a woman walking along the sidewalk. We pulled over and started talking to her and she was so excited that we are religious! We were able to give her a Book of Mormon and make a new appointment for this week :) It´s so cool how God puts so many prepared people in our path every day.. we just need to recognize the opportunities.
anywho. enjoy your livesssss!!
