Transferring,
Planning, and the Ripple Effect from Paris
Today all the flags are half-mast in Holland
in tribute to the attacks in Paris that happened on Friday. The news is
obviously ballistic over here, but I think it might be even worse in America
with the presidency campaigns and debates about World War III. We have been
kept up to date about things like that because a suspect was just arrested in
Brussels and this last week we opened Brussels in our mission. I can only
imagine what is happening in the Paris mission.
Paris is closer to where I am sitting now than
Boise is to Salt Lake.
Last year we had the Je Suis Charlie attack in
Paris also which sent high alert status into Antwerpen, and I made it through
that one ha-ha so hopefully things stay that way. No missionaries have been
affected in the Paris mission either.
We have had a lopsided week this week full of
lame things to write about.... We had transfers Wednesday in Utrecht, always
making for an adventure since the station is in the middle of its 30 year
renovation overhaul. You can never get away from construction, even outside of
America and I-15.
The last few days we have been planning and
planning and planning for zone training which this Wednesday is. Elder Childs,
Zuster Bush and I have lots to do still but the training should be good. Our
time is crunched hard.
But never forget JOSE. She is still killing it
and one of the coolest people I have been able to get to know on my mission. We
taught her about President Monson and shared his Dare to Stand Alone talk, and
she loved how he can lead us and how he is a person ha-ha. We have gone through
the baptismal interview questions preparing her for her interview this week,
and she has been writing everything down and studying it to know. Bless her
heart. We told her it isn´t a test or anything but she wants to know as much as
she can. She has her dress, jumpsuit, program and everything picked out for
Saturday :) It will be such a cool service! Makes for a busy week!
Because of that, no much funny business has
happened. Lame, I know.
Remember the importance of prayer:
´´Is prayer your steering wheel or your spare
tire?´´

PS I dropped my camera in the church in Zwolle
and the battery fell out so until I get it back I have no new pictures...
