Transfer news

Transfer news...! My 'daughter' is spreading her wings and is transferred to Wahiawa. Nice 'n cool. I'll be staying in the lovely desert with my new companion sister Pluim. She has been serving her whole mission at the visitors center up in Laie and yes... She is half Dutch! She can't speak dutch though, so I know what is to be expected of me. She even brought a chocoladeletter that her mother send to her. She sure knows how to make me her friend!

We continued doing the awesome work that we did in the previous transfer.  I really want to mention the power of prayer. Let me tell you why. Instead of putting the emphasis on praying that we may be led to the people whom the Lord has prepared, we asked Him to lead those people to us instead. Guess what... It really happened! People literally walked up to us to ask if they could learn more. 

Also, we finished reading the Book of Mormon as a mission. Yeey! While reading, I also decided to mark a lot. With yellow I marked every reference to Christ. But then I figured that I didn't want to leave Heavenly Father and the holy ghost out because they're a team! I put my yellow pencil to my orange one that I didn't use for marking. It really gives you a visual on how much the Book of Mormon testifies of Christ, Heavenly Father, and the Holy ghost. Mainly Christ though.. :)


Speaking about the Book of Mormon... I love how it works so well together with the Bible and how it clarifies many things:
Fulfill all righteousness > Matthew 3:14-15 - 2 Nephi 31:5-9
Be as a child > Matthew 18:1-5 - Mosiah 3:19
Prophets > Amos 3:7 - Jacob 4:4-6
And much more. My favorite (found by some creative elders): Ruth 4:8 - Ether 14:23

Thank you Book of Mormon. you're awesome.

Ok. that was it. Until next time.
