Fam,
This week was great and also frustrating.
We taught Ruben and
Vincent three times so that was super good. They like what we are
teaching but they haven't gotten an answer yet if this is what they want.
They said they were going to come to church but then when we went to
pick them up they didn't answer the door cause they slept in... But they
really want to come to see if its something they want in their lives.
We had some awesome finding miracles this week. Seriously I have two awesome ones and the second one is unbelievable. The first one is we went to go invite a guy to a YSA [Young Single Adult] activity (its Jovos in Dutch) but we were talking to him and he is actually from Colorado in the same area as Elder Claflin. So we were talking to him about the Broncos and stuff and then we invited him to the jovo activity. and out of nowhere comes this black guy and says where is the Mormon church in Apeldoorn so we told him and he said and what activity you guys talkin bout :) so great. they didn't come to church but they were super positive and we had a great feeling about them. And miracle two. unreal. We were doing bell ups at an apartment and sometimes we forget if we pressed one so we skip the one we thought we just pressed and all of the sudden a guy comes out on his balcony and starts talking to us like we pressed his bell. We made an appointment to go see him next Saturday and he said yeah make sure you bell 63. Then he went inside. Elder Claflin and I looked at each other and were a bit confused... Neither of us had pressed number 63, we skipped it because we thought we pressed it but looking back we pressed the one above it and below it and not that one. It was super cool.
And we set another baptismal date with a lady for the 22 of Feb but we will probably have to move it back. He story is pretty crazy. She tells us the same stories a lot but she loves Jesus and has never been baptized. And she accepted a date to work for it.
Crazy story of the week. Monday night we were going to FHE for the Jovos and we were bringing an investigator. We are probably 3 miles from the station and that usually takes about 20 mins to bike going at a good speed not fast but not slow. So its 7:05 and we have to catch the 7:18 train. CRAP. We head out and now its about 7:07 and we haul. and Claflin almost hits an old lady on an electric wheelchair and we still haul and then he almost got hit by a car. literally a foot from getting hit. then we park our bikes and sprint and hop in the train as the doors close... I nearly threw up. I like couldn't see. Claflin was a biker before the mission. oh and we ate three pounds of meatloaf right before we left! so nuts. We had to make this train for our investigator. then on the way home we have to make the 9:02 train and its about a 7 to 10 min walk to the jovo place. It's 8:56 and I'm like Claf we need to go. By the time we leave its 8:58 and we just take of. Sprinting to catch the train. I couldn't breathe! haha again We just in the train and the doors close. Such a sick p day literally sick. I about threw up again!!! haha it was super fun though!
Pretty solid week though. Taught some good lessons and found some awesome potentials.
Love you guys so much!!
