Elder Noah Morey: It is getting cold here, so put on all your clothes...

Goedemiddag everyone!! As you can tell by the subject of my email, it is cold here.. it snowed the other day and unfortunately I did not get a picture.. but I was freezing.. So i had to go buy some winter clothes and some boots.. But besides that this week has been pretty good one! I had some really good experiences during the week! I would love to share one or two with you all!

We had the chance to do some service for a member named Theiss and what we did was we were lumberjacks the whole day, I always forget to take pictures but, we cut down trees in a park so that his parents could have wood for the winter. It was a lot of fun, but also was hard work, hauling logs, cutting the trees, it was a good workout! But it was cool experience for me to get to know Br. De jonge, he is amazing and is super funny, the branch here is amazing and has about 30 to 40 active members and they are all awesome to the missionaries!

Well first off the work in Assen is still a little slow, but we had a good week of Exchanges and of work! On my Exchange with Elder Mikkelsen, we were in Assen and he has served here before and knows everyone. So we did a couple of look ups and got soaked by the rain and hail, which hit us at very high speeds.. We ended up contacting some good potentials and hopefully they will turn into investigators! But after Dinner we went to a less active and investigators house. Their names were Gladys and Eric. Gladys is from Honduras and is a member, her husband Eric is not and is meeting with us. While we were there she began to tell me her story about after leaving Honduras and going Less Active and how her life was getting hard on her, then one day the missionaries came during a hard time in her life and gave her a blessing and she knew that the gospel makes her happy and that is what she wants for her family, she began testifying to me of how great my calling was as a missionary and how much missionaries mean to her.. I felt the Spirit super strong and tell me that I need to have a better outlook on my area and that there are people here in Assen that are prepared to hear what we have to bring them. I am grateful that The Lord works through other people to bless there lives!!!

Being a missionary is great, There are just some things that you learn and do here that you can't find anywhere else. I love this gospel and know that it is true and can make ANYONE happy! I hope you all have a great week!! Love you all!!
