It is snowing!
This has been a pretty eventful week! We have been working
really hard and it has been paying off. We had a couple super cool miracles
this week, even with all of the craziness
Friday night we looked up a referral, and since he wasn't home
we knocked in his area. His neighbors had somehow all read anti material, and
the other side of the street were all non interested muslims. We were pretty
convinced that it wasn't the best area. We still had 15 minutes, so we said a
prayer to ask for some guidance. We had a very slight feeling to head back down
the street, and the 2nd door we knocked was super excited to talk to us, and we
will be headed back this next week!
The very next day we were looking up a less active member
who supposedly just moved back from a long vacation in Africa, but we had
forgotten to write his house number down. It was getting pretty late, and we
weren't sure where to go to next. As we were walking to find somewhere to
knock, I had a prompting of "that door." We knocked it, and the
daughter who opened the door let us in. It turns out that the father had
studied with the missionaries in the past, and his schedule has just recently
become more free! It was pretty crazy to see how God helped us in those small
amounts of time to find solid investigators. It also really strengthened my
testimony with the need of the Holy Ghost.
We taught one of our investigators the Law of Chastity this
week! And even more interesting is that he is gay... And it actually went
really well! He took the challenge to live it for the next 10 days, and so we
will see how that goes.
It is also definitely winter. It snowed really hard
yesterday during church, so when we got out we had 2 or 3 inches, which is
pretty abnormal here. We biked back to the station in the snowy slush, which
was quite an adventure. All of the trains were cancelled, so we ended up taking
a bus to Etten-Leur, a city inbetween Breda (where the church is), and
Roosendaal (where we live) to look up a couple of referrals. Neither of them had
interest, and so we ran back to catch the bus to get to the station. It didn't
come... At this point it is no longer snowing, but pouring rain, making all of
the snow nice and slushy. So we walked for 30 minutes back to the station in
Etten-Leur, and finally made it back home at about 6. It was quite an
adventure. But lots of fun!

Have a great week! Enjoy the Holidays!
