Hello Everyone,
This week has been different than most of the weeks to this
point of my mission. But none the less it has been one to remember. To start
off, you guys will be happy to hear that the sun actually does exist here in
Belgium and there is a blue sky. It really isn't just grey clouds! This week we
were blessed with some great weather for the first time since my first few
months out. And boy am i grateful that it was good, because this week we needed
it.
This was defiantly one of the most testing weeks for a couple
of reasons, one very long days with few appointments and two I don't think I
have ever been so tired in my life. (You got to love it:)) Pretty much everyone
we are working with was fairly busy this week, we still had a couple
appointments but very few compared to earlier weeks. So that left us with loads
of time to get out the door and go find some people who are prepared to accept
the Gospel of Jesus Christ. And let me tell you, it's a lot harder getting yourself
excited for a gap of 4 hours of contacting then getting excited for
appointments. I learned that this week for sure. It really puts you to the test
and puts your character and diligence to the test. To see if you are going to
still go and give it your all even when sometimes you feel like it won't make a
difference. But it does, people notice and people are there and are prepared.
After several days of not seeing a whole lot of success we kept on pushing and
were blessed with around 16 potential investigator this week. That right there
was a testimony builder to me that if we do our part the Lord is going to do
His! I know that, i have experienced it.
We had a super cool appointment with Sargun this week, last
week we asked her to prepare a lesson about faith and she would teach us a
little next time> Keep in mind she is 13. So we show up and after a lot of persuading
we finally got her to start. Holy cow, I can't even begin to tell you how
amazing she did, she knows so much and loves what she learns. That was one of
the most spiritual moments for me and really made me grateful to see that
people actually love the gospel :)
And lastly Friday night was the funniest thing ever. It was
world prayer day and it was a blast. So about 8 or so religions came together
and we all got to share a little bit about what we believe and that was cool.
But the end was awesome, a group of Africans all got up and they sang "go
tell it on the mountain" And everyone, including me, joined in and sang. That
made my entire night, what a blast that was. I wish i could show you that
video, too funny!!
Well, once again short on time so that’s all i am going to
be able to write this week. But thank you all so so much for the birthday
wishes and the letters!! You are all the best and i am so grateful for you!!! I
hope you have an amazing week and remember the church is true!!:)
Love,
Elder Parr
