Wow...we had a great week over
here! Felt like the end of a movie where everything just works out. It
was so awesome. We got transfer calls and I am headed to Aruba for the
3rd time!!!! I will be companions with sister Hardy! Craziness!
We
went to zone conference (our last one with the Egberts) in Curacao last
week! We flew there in a TEENY TINY 8 passenger plane. I have literally
been in buses bigger than that thing. It was soooo fun and i got to see
sister Cole and sister Davidson! I love them both! It was awesome!
Saturday we had a baptism! That day was NUTS. Buuut i will go into that later!
Bonaire
is doing so awesome!! Mainly I just wanted to let you know about how
wonderful the Relief Society is doing here! My heart was sooo warm after
this last Sunday. Sister Burrup and I taught relief society two weeks
in a row, and this last week the President herself taught it. It was
such a success!! We talked about ministering and during the lesson she
even said "wow, these classes are a lot more interesting than what we
used to do". Hearing that just filled my heart. Before, they would just
read through something random in a random Liahona and now they are
having excellent classes with lots of participation. It is now very
spiritually uplifting! Also, Sister Burrup and I had a baptism on
Saturday and it went very well. Luis is so converted! Bonaire is really
starting to thrive.
Wow has my testimony grown
this week! We have seen so many miracles this week, mostly on Saturday.
So our investigator Luis was supposed to get to the church at 3:30
because the baptismal service started at 4 and he knew to be there
early. Well, at 3:15 we received a call from a random phone number
(because he doesn't have a phone) and it was Luis! He was borrowing
someones phone to ask us for help! He was stuck at work about 15 minutes
away by car! He was SO stressed out and just begging us for ideas.
Well, the person who owned that phone needed to leave and we lost
communication with him. We hopped right down onto our knees and begged
for help. We didn't know what else to do so we just went over to where
he lives about 15-20 minutes after we had talked with him thinking that
there was no way he would be home, BUT HE WAS! It was a miracle. Later
on he told us that some dutch lady saw him completely stressed out and
frazzled and offered to take him home. He just dropped everything and
left work without permission from his boss or anything. He said he just
yelled "BYE BYE" to his boss and his boss was so confused as to what was
happening. Well, he got home, got ready and everything, and then a
member picked him up. He ran back to his work with the member to explain
what had happened and the member had actually known his boss and was
totally calm and okay with it! He even congratulated Luis even though he
isn't really very religious himself. Then he made it to the chapel
right at 4. It was amazing. He said he was praying the whole time and
just wanted to cry because it was so stressful. He kept saying over and
over again that he wouldn't have missed that baptism for anything in the
world. It was a beautiful and flawless experience! God truly answers
our prayers! And Luis is SO converted!!!
That is all i can really think of, but life it good and I am happy! Have a great week and don't forget to read your BOM!
