This week, if you haven't guessed, has been very much a week of miracles. Let's just start at the beginning and go through. I might skip some, but you'll get the idea.
We'll start with a side of Memorial Day. Last P-day some members plus a former missionary who was in this mission but left from this ward, and who just got back so who is now in this ward again (try and figure that one out) came and picked us up and took us to Drielandpunt, the place where three countries meet. It happens to also be right next to the highest spot in Nederland, some lofty 325m or something crazy like that. It was hard to breathe with so little oxygen clear up there. Then we went to Margraten, an American military cemetery. It was sweet.
Tuesday was district meeting and we got ahold of one of our investigators again! We set up an appointment, which happenedon Friday, and he's doing really well. We had dinner with some really great families, our ward is awesome. We were also able to set up appointments for this week with a few less actives and we're really excited about those. Thursday we met with another investigator. She is so so solid and so ready. She's reading the Book of Mormon plus rereading a lot of it. She's about as strong as it gets. We love her. Friday we had 3 lessons! Which is a lot for us so far. All of them went really well. Then last night we went by another lady in the ward who had two friends over. We shared Helaman 5:12 with them and she testified about it and they were both touched. (And now, my sons, remember, remember that it is upon the rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must build your foundation; that when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea, his shafts in the whirlwind, yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you, it shall have no power over you to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo, because of the rock upon which ye are built, which is a sure foundation, a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall.) They took Books of Mormon and we've got a return appointment! Life is good in Heerlen, and everywhere else, I'd imagine.
Thought for the week is from President Robinson from last week: "You follow this example (talking about the boy who had the loaves and fishes) when you, like the boy, give whatever you have in His service. The Lord magnified the boy's service to feed the 5000 and He will magnify you and your service as you serve your mission."
Keep up the good work, living life and being awesome!
Liefs,
