My dear family and friends,
I'm almost out of time this week, so here's a quick update!
Koningsdag (King's Day)! It's the king's birthday, and to celebrate everyone brings out their junk and it's basically a giant yard sale at various places around the cities, plus food carts and booths run by businesses. We went to Emmen and set up a table with Books of Mormon, pamphlets and the like, and then gave them out and talked to people all day. We were working as a district, so with 4 other missionaries. It was fun!
Lots of other appointments, appointments falling through, contacting, and all that other good missionary stuff. The work is a bit slow here at the moment, but we're doing what we can to change that! And after all, "attitude determines altitude." I know that that is absolutely true. Missionary life can be quite challenging, and so can everyday life. However, we have a vision of what we are trying to accomplish, which is the same vision the Lord has given us for where he wants His church to go. As we have faith in this vision and then make the necessary goals and plans, then put in our best effort, we see success. It is the same with anything the Lord has asked us to do our become - what is your altitude this week?
Sorry for the quick letter, I hope you all have a wonderful week.
