This past week we
racked up a total of 4 Thanksgiving dinners across the board of senior couples
and President Bunnell. We end up celebrating Thanksgiving more overseas than in
the states itself ha-ha. And every time it was sooOOOoo good. I have missed
food like that. Something to look forward to back at home someday.
We had our turkey bowl
Monday and it was glorious. PERFECT weather with sunshine and about 40 degrees
Fahrenheit. We put sisters as QB a few times and scored every time (secret
weapon) and Apeldoorn ended up beating Groningen soundly. Almost every zone
member was there and we had a great time together, pictures to come.
Other than that, Elder
Childs and I had just about everything with no proselyting value hit us in the
face this week as zone leaders, as far as cleaning the car, MLC, DLC, zone
vision cards, sick missionaries, travelling to and fro, choir practice, etc. So
we kept busy but on the flipside of the work this week.
However, we had some
cool miracles happen. Wednesday we took over an appointment for the
sisters and taught a solid Dutch guy a strong first lesson and invited him to
be baptized. He understood our message really well and loved the word
Restoration. He said something about it ´klopt´ ha-ha or just makes sense. We
should see him again next week.
Also, Hamid, a great
investigator here with his family from Iran, came to church this week and I
developed such a strong love for him. He was so happy to be in church and to participate.
He has lived here with his wife and kids for 30 years or so, speaks Dutch and
they are all Christian. He is one of those people that lights up your day when
you see him because his heart is of pure gold. Just to paint the picture, we
knocked his door, he said HEYY GUYS shook our hands and told us to come back on
a day that he didn´t have so much cooking to do ha-ha so we did and here he
is.
We had our monthly MLC
in Den Haag this week which was sick because I saw Morrell Cook and Parr again.
It´s nice to have connections through your best buds in the mission
ha-ha.
We were in Groningen
this week and it was POURING rain. Shouldn´t be surprised by that but it was
sooooo rainy. So Elder Childs and I decide to cut our shoes some slack and went
proselyting in klompen for the rest of the time we had there. You can storm
through puddles and your feet will never get wet in those wooden shoes ha-ha
people loved to see it too ha-ha American accents in the rain wearing klompen.
Classic.
Have a great week this
week
Love
Elder Trevan Scott
