Love Love Love.

 

Ok so this week was amazingg! where to even begin.. This week has left my heart exhausted! Too much love! but as President Brubaker tells us all the time, there is always enough love to go around :)

 

We had our first baptism in Gouda!! Hossein was baptized saturday evening and it was a wonderful service! He bore his testimony at the end and it was so wonderful to hear how much he feels the love of his heavenly father during this hard time in his life (he is the one from iran that has no family and no friends (besides the members now) here and doesnt speak dutch or english..) but he is fitting into the ward great now and im excited to see where his life takes him! he should be going to the temple to do baptisms next week too!

 

We also had mission conference with the whole mission this week to say goodbye to President and Sister Brubaker.  i got to see my whole mtc group and it was so fun! We were all just so overwhelmed with love the whole day we couldnt take it! I am so impressed with the wonderful people that i serve with. We really do have the best missionaries in the Belgium/netherlands mission!

 

And the last biggest news of the week... TRANSFERS! i will be staying here in gouda and sister G is off to den haag.  but the scariest part... Zuster Schwab is coming to serve here with me. She was in the mtc with me! She is the sweetest thing in the world and im excited but two sisters that have just barely gotten used to the culture trying to teach all these people in dutch...! i should be wayy more overwhelmed than i am (maybe im just in shock) but i know that now i HAVE to learn this language.  So i will be eating sleeping and breathing dutch from now on so i can continue to see the success that we have in Gouda.  lots of prayers please :)

love you all!
