So the first week of the transfer is over. :) Yay. We also
found two new investigators this week. One of them, is a 79 year old man who
has no legs. We found him ringing bells in an inactive persons house trying to
look them up. We're not sure what his intentions are yet, maybe he's just
trying to get more information about the church, but he's really interesting.
And we got him to pray the other day for us, and it was cute.
The other one we found is a headquarters referral. There's
been this big Facebook campaign thing going on on the Netherlands and Belgium
church Facebook page for the finding faith in Christ DVDs for Easter. And the
mission is getting buckets of referrals, and so far most of them have been
going to Belgium, which is pretty cool. Anyway we go to follow up on the DVD
the church sent her, and she actually invited us in, which never happens. Like,
she wasn't even wearing clothes, just a bathrobe and her hair wasn't done or
anything but she still invited us in. How nice. Then she tells us that she's
looking for a new church and we're just like well we can help you with that.
But this week has been super interesting with teaching because I realize how
good my Flemish has gotten since I came here. Like, now I'm the one who can
understand the language and has to tell the companion what's going on instead
of the first week in Belgium when you're just like uh, I don't speak Flemish or
Antwaarps and what the heck are you people saying? So that's a nice feeling. :)
This transfer I decided I need to work on humility, can you tell? haha.
Yesterday we had our baptism. YAY! She was happy, even
though, the same thing happened as the last baptism where we picked someone to
baptize her and then we show up to the baptism on Sunday and the ward has
picked someone else to baptize her. Drama drama drama.
Oh yesterday in church there was a business man visiting who
is originally from Tonga but now lives in California. I was sitting next to him
and he's like I want to bare my testimony can you translate for me, and i panic
and look over with a terrified face at the Elder who is doing the translating
for the sacrament meeting and then he comes over to ask what was going on and I
got him to translate for the guy so I wouldn't have to. Turns out it was the
greatest decision ever because the guy's testimony was like crazy. He was
telling all these stories from Tonga and using giant words and I'm just like
wooo thank goodness sisters can get Elders to do anything for them. :)
Sister Wood and I went out for Chinese this week in china
town.
Guess what the restaurant was called? The Best. We took a gamble and
decided to see if it was indeed the best. It was like in Elf, where he thinks
he's found the worlds best cup of coffee just because they say it is. Anyway,
we had some pretty interesting food. And the best thing was the dessert. Bamboo
pie. It's this weirdo thing wrapped in Bamboo leaves. The outside is this
sticky white stuff, and the inside is this bright yellow vanilla flavored cakey
stuff. It looked like boiled egg but it was tasty. Until and hour later when I
threw it all back up. :)
yes, we did get to watch conference, at least three
sessions. We did not see the women's session or the last Sunday session. But we
did get to see priesthood, it was the best session, I think.
I can't think of anything I want/need. I have been looking at some
clothes but they cost a fortune, not worth it. Only six more months of wearing
the same things all the time. :)
That's all I can think of for this week.
Love you, miss you. Have a good week. be safe.
Love, Karoline
