Dear Family,
We found out transfers yesterday evening. I will be staying
in Rotterdam with Elder Ellis! This will be our second transfer together. We
will both stay as zone leaders as well. I have a feeling that this may be my
last as a zone leader so I'm definitely going to make it my best! I am overdue and will
probably be put back on a bike soon. Nothing wrong with that! I miss the bike.)
I am very excited to serve with Elder Ellis. A lot of great things will happen.
We had a wonderful week of weather, which meant a lot of people were outside!
Unfortunately, a lot of people are still on vacation, but it has given us
the opportunity to talk with a lot of people and build up a teaching pool
again. We had some great miracles this week! I went on an exchange
with Elder Wang. He is from my MTC group. It was a lot of fun to serve with him
for the day. We set 2 baptismal dates and each one has a special story. Djudja
is from Cape Verde and is a friend of a member named Tony. Tony is also from
Cape Verde but grew up in Boston. Super cool guy. We spoke to Djudja in Dutch
and Tony spoke to him in Creole, we had to translate everything back and forth
because Tony is still learning Dutch and Djudja doesn't not speak English.
He was super excited and agreed to a date right away. The other man
was Johan. He is a 19 year old Dutch kid. Blonde fohawk with earrings, typical
high school kid. He said he knew there was something more and was looking
for it. We gave him a tour around the church and taught him about Jesus Christ.
The coolest thing in the world was when he said his first prayer. Afterwards,
he paused and said, "...I feel something. What is this?" We explained
and testified. We committed him to a baptismal date of 8 September. We also had
zone leader council this past week. All the new faces...I felt really old.
Zone leader Council is always the best! Discussing different ideas to improve
the work. They are all missionaries that I feel especially close to as they
have been either my companions in the past or really close friends. Thanks so
much for sharing the pictures this week! They were great to see. Mom, I am
mailing you a letter soon.
Have a great week!
Love,
Elder Schulte
