We had an awesome week! We received 4 new investigators this week and have 4 more lined up as a result of referrals next week. That is double the amount we found in the entire last transfer! It really has boosted our spirits and we actually have people to pray, study, and plan for, which adds a LOT to missionary life. We feel so blessed.
It sounds like you had an exciting week. I remember good times at the ranch. Dad, remember the first time I drove your car? That was good times. I still have the leaf that was stuck in the wind shield wiper after I almost hit that tree. I think it’s buried in one of my boxes. I`m sure Niki was a much more able student ;)
I got the pictures of Cozette and the Halloween candies this week. Thank you so much! She is getting so big. She looks like a different person, and Heather- the baby bump is looking good! So did the camera shots. I´m excited to see the Hamer photo portfolio when I get back. Dad, thank you for the copy of the talk. I found it really inspiring actually. You sound like a mission president :)
I´m so excited for Bob Nelson. A mission will be so awesome for him. It’s awesome for everyone.
I´m already scheduled for a fireside? Wow. I love the idea of a fireside, but is it really getting that close? I figured out this week that I will only get 3 or 4 more transfers after this one... a strange thought. I miss it already if I think about it.
The weather is starting to get colder, and much much rainier. We get soaked pretty much daily, which makes cute hair nearly impossible. Oh well, ponytails are cute too I guess. Luckily my companion is easy-going as well, so when we´re soaking wet it turns into more of an opportunity for jokes than an actual hardship. The winter coming back makes me think of my first few days in the land, when I didn´t think I`d live through the experience. Now I know that its just part of the adventure.
The Dutch holiday Sinterklas is coming really soon (its basically the commercial side of Christmas) which means that Sinterklas will come bring presents on his big horse with zwarte piet (his sidekick) and leave them in the shoes of the kids. That means that everyone gives the missionaries presents and that the bakeries are full of super delicious goodies for the holidays. They have stands all over the streets for oliebollen (deep fried dough balls) filled with apples, currants, pudding, pineapple, you name it, they put it in it. They are delicious and you can smell the stands a mile away. I´ll have to make you some when I get home.
We´ve been invited to an American member´s house for Thanksgiving this year. It´ll be really fun. The elders will come too, so it should be nice and gezellig. We also already have plans for Christmas Eve. I think the ward will take really good care of us during the holidays.
Well, I love you all a ton! Take care, and be safe!
Ik hou van jullie
Liefs,
Zuster Cherie Gulliver
