hello! i dont know why you didnt get my email last week. Jamer! well last week was good. my companion and i got to go to the temple on sat because someone he baptized a year ogo was getting married in the temple. it was only us and 2 other missionaries. we went to the sealing. it was really cool. a special time for my companion. we are going again tommarrow for somebody else he baptized.
well the reason you didnt get an email this mon is because we went to Keukenhof! its the place with all the tulips. the whole zone went. we decided it would be funner to take a bike then we can ride through all the beautiful fields, we were the only ones who took a bike and it was the best decision i ever made. Keukenhof was beautiful its like an amusment park full of flowers, trees, water, sculptures ect..and the smell oh my its unbelievable. but the most beautiful part was riding through the giant tulip fields, with the huge blocks of color. really a site to see. one of the most beautiful things ive seen.
we are still working with the oconnor family from america. they are so awesome. the husband is rad. i think they really like us. they have invited us over for dinner again this sunday. we really want to push baptism.
yesterday we went over to an investigators house to help with her house. we have been helping her the past couple of months we call her mamma maria, i dont know if ive talked to much about her but she is great. when we first met her she was totally closed to everything. but now that we know her really well she finally opened up. i think i menchoned her last week. but her parents died when she was really young. and she has no family and was taken advantage of when she was young. it has effected her life severely. she sees no point in living. well we took her to eat over at a members house the other day and this couple really connected with her. it was amazing. she has a problem believing in God because he never helped her when she was young and she was praying 24/7 its very sad. i didnt know really what to say to her. but we all explained it very well to her. and got down to why she is so miserable. she cannot forgive the person that abused her when she was young. so we told her she needs to pray for the desire to be able to forgive. we explained that Jesus Christ took upon himself the sins of the world and through his sacrifice and mercy towards all men that we can be saved and live with God. I wish she could fully understand the atonement, i wish we all could fully understand the atonement. we then told her some stories of forgivness, and explained, how is God supposed to forgive you if you cant forgive someone else? she was in tears. it was good for her though. i hope she can forgive.
well im out of juice. Chip thanks for the letter! yeah man you better hit me up when you get out here. it would be rad to see you!
parents just a little advise: the best way to teach your kids is to teach them how to center their lives around Jesus Christ, and to teach them true principles of the gospel. Well i got to be going now the weather dominates here. chan chan i had a dream about you last night. write me homie. ok g2g 3p
