My legs hurt really bad, my butt hurts even worse, I'm super tired and I couldn't be happier! I love it here so much! :)
First off I would like to tell my dad that I sat by an older lady on the
plane and she gave me her food! Ann Rosenthal. She is from the UK (not
kentucky) she has a son in Detroit. Our plane was full also no extra
seats. But we talked and she was so cool!
My first area is IJmuiden! So
cool! Me and my comp get to open it. There haven't been elders here in
like 10 years! Our area is Haarlem also! So cool! The only bad part is
that we have 0 investigators... Bummer... But we have a couple of
potential investigators that we have found. Job and Roxanne. Job is an
old man and his wife just died and he loves us haha we went over to see
him on Saturday and he invited us in and we just talked with him. and he
gave us a drink and it was an energy drink and it wasn't that good but I
drank it cause he is awesome! He plays the Dutch version of Candy
crush! haha so funny!! he is such a chill and cool guy. He loves music
so when we go see him tomorrow we are going to show him some motab and
sick church music! The other one is Roxanne. We found her knocking doors
(since we opened we don't really have options of how to find people so
we have knocked on about 300 doors maybe a little more and have passed
out 4 copies of the Book of Mormon. But in my first two full days we
contacted 102 people. We are challenged to contact 3 to 4 people an
hour. We contacted 102 in 8 hours.. Talk about tired... It is so fun
though! We get rejected so much and I just feel bad for the other people
because they are missing out on the most amazing book ever!) But
Roxanne was so cool. She was telling us a story and she was like last
night I couldn't sleep so I started watching Oprah and she was talking
about having the faith of a mustard seed and then today you guys showed
up! How cool is that?? She hasn't called us back but she has kids and
asked what we did with kids at church and we mentioned primary and she
seemed pretty interested so we will go see her this week!
My trainer is the youngest
one in the field! and we are opening a new city so crazy! He was a
cheerleader at Colorado University and a Tumbler for the Denver Broncos!
He does so many crazy things! This one lady wouldn't accept a mormon.org
card and he was like if I do a back flip will you? and she didn't answer
so he did one and she took a card! He has so much energy even when we
get rejected like 20 times in a row! I love it! The Church members are
awesome! Church was crazy cause I understand a little not that much so I
really have no idea what the heck is going on!
We are in the same area as
Sister Wood and Sister Frandsen. Way cool sisters! Seriously sister
missionaries know whats up and they help a ton!
I love this work and I love my Heavenly Father. He blesses me everyday!
Alles Wel!
