What an incredible gift from our Heavenly Father!

Fam!

Another great week!

Last Sunday Andre and Kjelld came to church and they loved it!! They are coming tomorrow which is going to be awesome. We have a lesson tonight with Kjelld at a families home! I'm super excited! 

Wednesday was an incredible day. I got to work with Elder Cook. He is from SLC. He went to East. We had an incredible day. We taught Ilona and her daughter was there. We taught her the restoration and Ilona was sharing her testimony! So awesome! And so Ilona and her daughter and her two kids are coming to church tomorrow. Then we taught a boy who's mom is a member but he is not baptized. He will come around. He knows its good. 
 
Then we didn't have much time but we felt like we should look up this referral we got from Salt Lake. So we go and the lady was shocked that we were there. She let us in. And she told us that she was friends with the lady that referred her. They were friends through FB. Because they both liked an Ed Sheeran page. God works in Mysterious ways. Her brother has cancer and we taught her the first lesson and it was powerful. We testified of the peace of the gospel and the power of the priesthood. We are going to go back to give a blessing to her brother. She also might come to church. She was such a nice lady and just open to the gospel. She just wants to find peace in her life. 
 
Then we taught Andre the word of wisdom. And at first he was surprised of the things we couldn't do but as we told him it was from God he was willing to try. He is going to stop all of them! Just an incredible day of teaching people about the gospel and bringing them closer to Christ!

We also got to give a presentation on Friday about the spirit and it was a really good meeting. The spirit was strong. The Holy Ghost works differently with all of us. But we have the right to have His spirit with us always once we make that covenant with him through baptism. We must also keep that covenant to have His spirit with us always! What an incredible gift from our Heavenly Father!

I love you all! Thanks for all the support and love!

Groetjes!

* This is part of Elder Bean's letter this week: (Elder Bean and Elder Bosco will be roommates at BYU next fall so I'm sure they were so excited to see each other- they were great friends in the MTC)

*This week was a lot of fun with a lot of meetings! Tuesday we had District Meeting in Zwolle and that was great, we then went on exchanges and I got to go with Elder Bosco. It was so fun, it’s so crazy to see him since we were in the MTC together and we haven’t worked with each other since. We have seen each other at Conferences and stuff like that but NEVER worked with each other except for Tuesday and it was awesome. We drove all the way back to Apeldoorn and had a look up with an older Dutch women. She is so sweet. She led us in and we got to teach the First lesson with her. Even though Elder Bosco and I have never taught together or even practiced together, we taught with amazing unity and it was so powerful. She went on during the lesson talking about how her husband passed away but still feels his presence around her. She told us that she just wants to go on to the next life and see him but feels like she still has something to do here on earth. Everything she said, related to a principle of the gospel. And that happens everyday, people have their opinions and all of that mostly fits right into the Restored Gospel, it’s amazing how that works. This lady is a special lady and is now committed to get baptized March 22. The Gospel Changes Lives.
