Okay, now, last weeks events! Mostly, we just did contacting as usual, but here are the thing more worth mentioning. On Wednesday, we went with the other Antwerpen missionaries, and a ward member (Br. Schiltz) and we went caroling to a few older women in the ward. We spent about six hours going around and caroling. We sang to a grand total of three women! I know what you're thinking. "You only sang to three women in six hours?" Well, that's what happens when the ward boundaries are huge. We spent a lot of time traveling. We were even in a car. One of the woman lives in Essen, which is on the border by Nederland. It was a super cool experience though! On Thursday, we had an appointment a new investigator. His name is Green. Or rather that's his English name. He comes from Taiwan! He's super cool! On Saturday we had our second lesson with Guido. When we first walked in he had his laptop on and some video was playing. We heard the guy in the video say something about Utah and all three of us were like, "Uh-oh." As we sat down, he turned the monitor towards us and said he had quite a few questions. Just as we had expected, he had run into many anti-Mormon videos on the internet. Fortunately, we were able to resolve most of his questions, but in the end the most we could do was direct him to lds.org, the official church website and also to the only source of all truth, Heavenly Father. The rest of the lesson went pretty well. He is certainly an honest truth-seeking man, which is good. It shows that he really is sincere about learning about the church. Saturday evening we went to the church to watch Het Kerstverhaal (the Christmas Story). It was a simple play and musical performance about Christ's birth. It was really well done! The best part about Sunday was that Guido came to church! He seemed to really enjoy it and the members really took him in! He stayed at the church for six hours! There was a ward Christmas feast dinges after church which he not only stayed for, but even helped clean up! Well that's all for this week!
I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas! I encourage you all to make it a Christ-centered Christmas! May you all have much joy, happiness, and laughter! As for me, there is no better Christmas than one spent in the service of Christ himself! :)
Gelukkig Kerst, iedereen!
