Christmas
is tomorrow and I’m exceptionally excited. I have this awesome little pile of
my gifts and stocking and lekker food I’m planning on eating and opening right
underneath our Christmas tree (made from yarn and other assorted randoms lol).
We have appointments for dinner for like, almost all week heh. The members are
super nice to us. They gave us each a Big box of food and treats at a Christmas
concert at the church the other night. :)
Here
they have two Christmas days, the 25th and the 26th :) the first is like time
for families and stuff, and the second is when you go out and visit
friends
and all that. I like it :) apparently they do it with other holidays too.
Easter, etc. I'm all for it. Heck, if one is good, two is better :D
I
got to go on exchanges the other day. I went to Den Haag, with one of the zone
leaders. It was a great experience. I definitely learned alot.
We
Get to do a service project tomorrow were we work at a retirement home :) gonna
sing and stuff. Super cool.
Boy,
i wish i could explain all the things that go on here. It's definitely something
you have to do to under stand. But the best thing is, i know the Lord is in it.
The
other night, my comp. was making a call, and we were standing on a bridge over
a canal, with our bikes next to us, and i looked across the canal,
with
the lights reflected off the water, (cause its dark here from like, 6pm-9am)
and it really just hit me, wow. I'm on a mission. I"m in the Netherlands.
I'm
speaking to people in another language and bluffing through my lack of
comprehension pretty dang good lol. It's a great thing :) it's not easy, but
it's
so
worth it. Seeing the people's lives that we're working with, change and
improve. Man. it makes it all worth it. That relationship with Christ is worth
more
then anything.
There's
a quote in our apartment that i like. it says: ''A missionary is someone who
gives up his family for two years so others can be with theirs for
eternity."
that's the main goal of all we do :) when you
think about it that way, it can put things in perspective dang fast
Sincerely,
