Well, here I am, sitting in Assen and being pretty happy with life right now, especially missionary work. We had a very adventurous transfer day up to Assen on Wednesday, with all my stuff, including my bike, plus all of my new companion's stuff. I'm grateful that we made it. There was a member at the station to help us with our bags to our new apartment, so that was great. Sister W. is my new companion! And she is wonderful. Very ready to work, very fun to work with, and very great just all around. She's from Salt Lake City and was going to Utah State before, studying biological engineering. We're going to get along great.
Assen is wonderful. It is a beautiful city, and relatively small, which is nice. Our area reaches pretty far down south, to Meppel, but so far we've mostly been working in Assen. We don't have too many investigators yet, it's taking a little while to pick up where the Elders left off 3 transfers ago, but we're working on it, slowly but surely. We still managed to get a couple of on the door lessons in, which is always exciting. The branch LOVES us. Everyone is always so excited to see us, even those who don't come to church often, which is cool. And we love them! Great things are in store for Assen!
Thought for the week, from Elder Hales' Conference talk from last October: "For many, the call to be a Christian can seem demanding, even overwhelming. But we need not be afraid or feel inadequate. The Savior has promised that He will make us equal to His work. 'Follow me,' He said, 'And I will make you fishers of men.' As we follow Him, He blesses us with gifts, talents, and the strength to do His will, allowing us to go beyond our comfort zones and do things we've never before thought possible." (to read the rest of the talk too, click here) It's true! I know it, and the gospel is true too.
