This week has been a good one. We had zone conference and the best part wasn't even the buffet of food! You talked about reaping some awesome rewards for my mission but in zone conference we talked about responsibility of the priesthood and dat ik naar de hel zal gaan als is niet hard werken! I never thought i could be so overwhelmed just listening to someone talk. But after I thought about how much Heavenly Father wants us to have and that i accepted this in the pre earth life i realized it's not impossible but it is when I'm by myself. Which as long as I'm not dumb will never happen.
In my interview with Pres. Gamiette he reassured me that the rewards were totally possible as well. I had to give a lesson in my first zone conference too! They picked us right before the meeting started. It didn't go bad but it definitely looked like i was knew. Pres. also told me that almost all the older missionaries are leaving very soon. Then he asked me, So Elder Van Meeteren, who will be left to train the new missionaries? ...uh oh. So i don't know exactly what that means yet but i guess it means i should be figuring out how to use the area book a little more...
We still teach that Henk guy with no legs. He is really a solid person. There's no doubt in his mind that as soon as he can get out of the hospital he's coming to church... too bad everybody else we have taught has legs. However we did have an awesome lesson with a new investigator...awesome means somebody actually invited us back.
You don't need to worry about me missing out on any cool historical sites or cultural activities...because Suriname has no historical sites and the culture.... well i don't think anybody that lives here really knows what surinamese culture is. It's just constantly hearing something new everyday that you had no idea about. Did i say anything about pawgwa yet? I dont know if that's how you spell it but it and Indian holiday were they throw paint on you. Yep. i now have a ruined silk tie.I 'll send you those pics asap. But i really need that info soon.
Ok i love you and miss you all. I hope you all feel what I'm doing has blessed your lives as well.
Love
Haydne...or how ever you spell that.
