Mijn geliefde familie en vrienden,
It´s been a great week, with one thing after the other! One of those weeks where you get to Monday again and just wonder, where did the time go?
It all began with great interviews with President Bunnell on Tuesday. He is truly an inspired man, and he gives really great advice. Then on Wednesday we had a full day of appointments, which was a blessing because it was about 0° Celsius the whole day! Although none of the appointments went how we were expecting them to, they went pretty well and it felt good to put in a long day of work.
The next day we did some service helping an older member clean up his backyard, and luckily it was a bit warmer. He was super sweet and made us delicious Indonesian food for lunch afterward. :) That night we traveled to Den Haag to sleep over with the sisters there because the next day was...
MLC! Mission Leader Council. This is a meeting in the mission home for all zone leaders and sister training leaders where we discuss how we can help the mission, be better leaders and better missionaries, etc. It was a great day with plenty of discussion about where our mission culture is at now and where we want it to be, and how we can help it to get there. There have been some big groups of young missionaries coming in lately and very soon there will be some big groups of older missionaries leaving, so we are really working to establish the values and other things we as older missionaries have learned before it´s too late and we´re gone. It was interesting to take a moment to reflect on how much I really have learned, but also how much more I could improve before I leave. There´s still time!

The next day there was a baptism from the missionaries in Hengelo, which was great and our investigator Glory even came! She had so many great questions and had a great time. The person getting baptized, Anje, has a great story too- she had been an investigator for almost 10 years! It´s a long story, but where it began and also where her decision came from to finally be baptized was a desire to read the Book of Mormon and then a testimony of the book after she had read it. It was amazing to hear her testimony, and I would just like to add mine that I know that the Book of Mormon is the word of God. As President Benson told us, there is a literal power that will flow into our lives the moment we begin a serious study of it. Read it every day! Ponder on it! Approach your study with questions and expect answers, and then watch as your faith is strengthened. I know mine has been.
I love you all, have a great week!
