They say life is like a box of chocolates.
I don't know who 'they' are but that phrase
really doesn't make sense to me.

HELLO YE
Another week come and gone. This Irish flare
is brought to ye in honor of my favorite member of whom I visited last night in
the beloved city of Antwerpen. Yes, I saw the Schiltz' again.
This last week we performed our fireside 3
full times for the zone conferences in Antwerpen, Rotterdam, and Zoetermeer. It
was pretty stressful having to play the piano for an hour and half straight and
perfectly 3 days in a row but I was definitely aided though it this last week.

| Zone Conference |
We had an incredible zone conference (x3) in
which we learned that coming this summer our mission will be receiving iPads!
The buzz is up around the mission about it and I am excited with all the
training we received but I will be honest, it doesn't faze me that much that we
are getting them. It will make emailing and maps much nicer but I am afraid
that it will become a master and not a servant. Hopefully not though and it is
definitely inspired so things will all work well.

| Dress up on P-day |
We were able to give Jones a blessing this
last week because he was sick but his baptism is being postponed for a while
because his church attendance is lacking. IT is pretty frustrating because we
aren't at church either because of the project and so it is so difficult to get
everything managed through phones and members and then we aren't even there to
support it. We are praying hard to know what to do for him and so we should see
some progress as we are led.
We met with Pepijn again (I think I told you
about him) and he really enjoyed the plan of salvation! We will teach him again
this week and he is really solid in learning and is genuinely curious. Also we
met with the De Bruijns again and will set up their
program tomorrow to help them stop smoking.

| More of Delft - I think |
I really can't describe my experiences back in
Antwerpen this week. I love that city with all of my heart and it doesn't seem
to want to give me my heart back. I loved being able to talk with the members
more freely in Dutch now and to see them all again. They are all excited about
the project too which is cool to see that support from those that I love. We
also taught an investigator from the zusters and she is a self-referral with 2
kids and a husband who all listened to our message. We watched the Because of
Him video and sang for her and she was in tears as we shared the Spirit with
her. She is sooo cool and the part I found cool was that she lives on a street
that Elder Shelton and I have knocked before. She was one of those homes where
either no one was home or at the time or the interest wasn't there. But
Heavenly Father prepares people in His own due time and now she is a solid
progressor that is willing to get to our fireside even if it has to be in a
wheelchair (she has a hip problem).
It is very refreshing to be back in Delft. It
has been a week since we have been home and a week too long haha
I hope you all have a killer week
