Week 43 Groningen Netherlands

Wednesday was transfers, and we spent almost the whole day traveling.  I am now with Elder Knudsen and elder Shelton.  We have a nice big apartment, and in three weeks we will be getting one of the office elders and we will be a four man.  So we have had a few good lessons this week since I’ve been here.  We taught an Arabian family who had to have their kids translate for them, but they have only spoke Dutch for 9 months. It was very interesting, but a good lesson.  Yesterday after church we got to go and visit a 97 year old member named Tex to bring him the sacrament! He was so cool!!! He kept telling us the same stories over and over and we have to yell at the top of our lungs to get him to hear us! haha he also wrestled me three times! haha I got a good video of it, so you can see that one next year. GUESS WHAT! Today is my 300th day on the mish!! Me and elder Knudsen are in the same group so we will celebrate today.  

One super cool experience we had this week was in a lesson with one of the investigators.  He is waiting for his wife to come here to the Netherlands and then he will get baptized.  She is stuck in cape verde (shout out to Elder Jarv!) until she gets her papers to come here.  But anyway we were teaching him about the spirit and at the end of the lesson he told us how he was introduced to the church and all that stuff but then he just stops, and after like a minute of silence he got all emotional and bore his testimony to us.  It was a super cool experience, and I'm excited to get to know him more.  

 

I'm loving it here in Groningen!
