Another update by sister Brandenburg:
Time sure went fast! almost serving a month already. We met a lot of people, got to share the restored gospel, grew closer as a companionship, and I had to take a lot of people on the back of the bicycle (being Dutch serves its purposes) I am temporarily borrowing from an elder. I had the pleasure to briefly serve with sister Dundan who supports sisters throughout the Belgium/Netherlands mission (she is back home right now). I also went on an exchange to Lelystad and served with sister Smith. Really nice to see other mission areas as well. Later that week we got deliiiiicious Indonesian food from a sweet sister of the church. Yep, good week. As a missionary it is one of the best things to have dinner at a member´s house, get to know them and hear their testimony about the church.

Preparation day was Amsterdam day. for some
reason you could mainly find me in the cheese shop (free
delicious samples!) and to look more smart, also in the bookstore. in
the city we met some members from the USA who were on a Europe trip.
Always fun to randomly talk with fellow members.

There
were two other great experiences this week. We got to meet someone who
really needed the gospel in her life and she knows its true. That
was really a testimony to me that the Lord prepares people to receive
the restored gospel and its up to us to find them. We also had a baptism
this sunday for the sweetest Spanish lady you can meet. She was being
taught by elder Ocampo (called to serve to speak Spanish, but he can
speak Dutch as well) and Tolman (called to serve to speak Chinese, but speaks
Dutch as well). It was a very special experience to be there. Even tough
I can barely speak to her (due to my lack of Spanish speaking
experience) I do know she is awesome!
Oh, and let us not
forget we ate fufu this week, being prepared by a lovely Ghanese
member). Sister Nyakoh the experienced showed oblivious sister
Lechtenberg and me how to eat it.
