How I Met Our President

I got a new bike from Elder Sudweeks and her name is Mindy the Iron Maiden. Taking over the Elders area has been an adventure. So many investigators, potentials, LARC's it is crazy. But has been fun... so many more doors which means more opportunities and more people to testify to. We are seeing progress with our own investigators. They all have their own struggles and personal obstacles but are all working their hardest to come closer to the Savior. They all have strong testimonies and doing what they can to move forward. It is amazing to see them changing and growing. This last week was a bit of a haze.... I was able to meet our new mission President and his wife this weekend. Took a trip to the ER... after hours of pain and finally calling someone they thought I had appendicitis. Well all hospitals around the world are all the same. You wait for hours to see the doctor and the verdict is some weird thing that has no explanation or something you could have told yourself. I am fine, just so you know. By the time I saw the doctor, the pain was gone and so it was some weird thing with no explanation. So finally got home at 1am, and thanks to our ward mission leader and his wife who came to escort us to the hospital. But because of this, the president and his wife came to Gouda the next morning for church. They are incredibly sweet and caring. Full of energy and excitement. I am looking forward to working with them more! Well sorry for just a lame and short e-mail but that is all I have for you guys this week. Living life in the Netherlands to it's fullest. Talking to as many people as we can. I love you all and hope you are happy and healthy. Have a great week! -- Zuster Young
