This email is een beetje laat (a little late) because yesterday was Pinkster, a Pentacostal holiday that no one actually celebrates, but that shuts down the entire city. Quite literally. And we can´t use the computers in our church building (at least for now). So now we´re in Breda for district meeting using their church´s computers. Our district includes Vlissingen, Breda, Eindhoven, and us, so we´re pretty spread out, and we switch between having district meeting in Breda and having it in Eindhoven.
Highlights of the week: Zone Training! That was last week in Antwerpen and it was amazing. We talked a lot about the why of our missions and everything and it was great. We also had exchanges with the Antwerpen sisters, who are leaving this week, but who are amazing. I´m really glad I got to work with them both for a little bit. Coming back was an adventure! We decided to come through Belgium this time, having been told it might be faster, which it might have been if our train hadn´t broken down. But we were able to get on another train, so it worked out all right, we were just a little later than we'd hoped. But we had an investigator come to Church because of that day, so it was all worth it.
Dutch pannekoeken are pretty different from our pancakes. They´re a lot like crepes, and you put stuff in them. And they are super good.
Thought of the week: "Shining through all missionary service is the reassuring faith that the work is true and that the service being given is given unto God. Missionaries serve with faith in their hearts. It is a phenomenon of great power that quietly whispers, 'This cause is true, and to you there is an obligation to serve regardless of the cost.'"--President Hinckley
Love to you all!
