To Assen

So, here's the verdict on transfers. I'm leaving for Assen (sounds kind of like awesome, I don't think that's a coincidence) on Wednesday, via Leiden to pick up another brand new missionary, fresh off the airplane tomorrow. So I'll be training again! Assen sounds great, and the accent is sure to be different. It's been closed for the last 3 transfers, and they've never had sisters before, so it will definitely be an adventure. Sister A. will be staying here and training too! I'm way pumped for the baptisms scheduled for Saturday. I won't get to see them, but I've had the privilege of being a part of the whole teaching experience, and that has been wonderful. We're revving up for more miracles in Assen.

On a prompting on Saturday we went by a referral that had seemed not too positive (but we were going to give them another chance). Met a man on the door a few doors down in a wheelchair instead, and he took a Book of Mormon. We testified of the Plan of Salvation (and of course the Resurrection) and set up a return appointment. The people we went to see weren't home. So always follow those promptings, you never know why you get them!

Stay strong in the gospel. Always. Some of the hardest appointments I have been in have been with members who have decided that they have something better and are now inactive. What could be better than eternal life? The gospel is true. The Church is true. Not everyone in the church is perfect (actually, no one in the church is), but it's still true.
