hey hey howell fam
i had one the thee most enlightened, spiritial weeks of my mission
this past week. Steven R. Covey changed my life.
we were able to go on exchanges with the A.Ps this past week. do you
remember elder De Mass. he is from mike and michels ward in slc.
well he is the ap and i was able to go with him. he is thee man. we
had a sweet time together. i'll definantly be hangin out with him
after the mission.
we got a call from the stake patriarch who lives in our ward here in
apeldoorn and his two grandsons want to get baptized. they are 8 and
9. the stake patriarchs daughter, the mother of the two sons, is
inactive. so we will see if we can get her back as well. we taught
the two kids last week and it went so good. they will be baptized in
the beginging of november.
we also had one of our investigators at church. over the past couple
of weeks, my comp and i have been struggle to find ppl to teach. the
lord is now blessing us. we fasted and have been praying. the
investigator who was at church is so solid. his name is van from
vietnam. he is moving to arizona next year to study. he's studying
at a school here called saxoin. there are so many kids there from all
over the world and we are going to go there often.
thee best part of the week was steven r. covey. i recieved so many
insights about the rest of my life. it was such a blessing to be
there. he is definantly one of the ppl that i needed to hear and meet
on my mission. the meeting with him was with all the zone leaders so
it was a pretty awesome meeting. which made it possible for us to ask
alot of questions. can you say, BLESSING
after our meeting there was a fireside for all the members. and guess
who i was able to see. Marco from eindhoven. he is the guy who i
taught then got baptized when i got transfered, i hadnt seen him for
like a year. is he doing soooo good. he is getting married april
23rd to the bishops daughter. he also is the frist counsler in the
young mens in his ward in eindhoven. he will someday be a stake
president.
