The real missionary work has started! Together with my new sweet companions Sister Nyakoh (from Ghana and Belgium) and Lechtenberg (USA) we get to do a lot of things. We get to teach people who are investigating the church. You really have to take their needs into account which makes it special and personal (my personal favorite is the Plan of Salvation wherein families can be together forever.. Yeah!). We also support the (members of the) church, we do service work (really nice to see that by doing small things for people it can bring a smile to their faces - priceless). Last but not least... roaming the streets and knocking doors! to find people who are interesting in the gospel of Jesus Christ. This can be done any moment of the day and it's interesting to meet many different people with their own way of living. I find it enjoyable to knock on people's door and they appear to be Jehova witnesses. I can remember the good old times when I opened my door for them and talked with them for a bit. How the tables have turned!
I
never knew that walking through the city includes a free birdsafari as
well! We found some fine specimen in their natural habitat. Learning
something new everyday.

We
also got our bicycles this week. I have a temporary one and Sister
Lechtenberg her tires were finally fixed (if any tire-slashers are
reading this: stop doing it, be nice, be cool). Anyway, due to
safety reasons we have to wear helmets. As a Dutch person who was almost
born with a bicycle, the picture shows how I feel :-). Oh well, it most
certainly is a new experience! With our bicycles we are able to be much
faster and therefore do more missionary work. Woohoo!
