This week was a wonderful week! We started out by going to Brussels to meet our new President! President Babin and his wife are just WONDERFUL! I honestly felt their love for us as they spoke to us for the first time. They did a wonderful job at bringing the spirit. I truely did feel God's love for me.
A little update on Sœur Nielson, after the death of her grand-father, things are going much better! She made it through the first difficult few days and she is stronger and more motivated than ever.
Unfortunately this week is transfers and she will be leaving me to go south. I will be receiving a new companion on Wednesday. Her name is Soeur Tane (tan-ay). She is from Tahiti!! Their culture is extremely different from ours and so the last four weeks of my mission will be interesting!!! She speaks french and so I'll get to polish of my french right before I go home :)
This week Fabienne gave us a scare. We weren't able to get ahold of her all week and one time we saw her at the metro and she just waved and kept walking. We were so nervous that something had happened since her baptism. We waited for her by the door at chuch and she didnt came. We went to sit down as the meeting started. RIGHT before the opening hymn she walked in :) Such a blessing and relief. She had just had a busy week. We were able to start her family history and she is so excited about it!
Speaking of family history we were able to use Sister Pack and her passion with family history to get one of our recent converts started on her family history from Africa. It was motivating and wonderful to listen to Sister Packs testimony.
On the metro last week as we were going to a meeting, I was sitting next to a mother with her daughter on her lap. The daughter asked her mom what my plaque was... perfect oppurtunity. I explained who I was and got a little discussion started. I felt prompted to talk about the Plan of Salvation and gave them the PoS pamphlet. I told them that it talks about "Why we are where, where we came from, and where we are going." Right when I finished the sentance the girl gasped and looked at her mother. She said, "Mom, I asked you that question yesterday and you weren't able to respond!" The mom confirmed the daughters story and explained that they had lost their daughter in her early twenties about 8 months ago. Naturally her daughter posed her those questions and she admitted that she was not able to respond. She found it as a sign from God that I was there ready to answer them. We will see them on Tuesday.
I love this work. So many miracles happen daily. I love you all!
Have a wonderful week
Soeur Kohlert
