Hope you are all having a great week so far! Here it is definitely almost winter! We had to scrape ice off the windshield a couple days now!
But other than that things are good over here in Rijswijk. Des and I had a very busy weekend so its been nice to take things a bit slower the last couple of days.
Last Friday was my brother's birthday. I can't believe he is 19! Luckily he was in Hoofddorp for a concert that night so we were able to swing by after the wedding (Speaking of which, it was beautiful.) and see him.
Love ya Bri!
Saturday we went to Arnhem for the first pioneer's breakfast from Zwolle. It was so great to see everyone of course, but also just to hear the stories and be able to laugh and be encouraged... To know you aren't the first person in your situation, that you aren't crazy for thinking/feeling the way you do.. The best advice I got was about just enjoying the stage you are at. (Come to think of it that's pretty good life advice :D)
Its easy to compare or even wish you were doing better/seeing more but if you focus only on that you'll go crazy. Its better to enjoy the experience and look for the advantages of where you're at.
anywho. the rest of the weekend flew by too. we went on the streets here, went to revival services in Delft and were able to hang out with friends.
And this week.. like I said we have been taking it easy.. a friend from LT, Vilma came over Tuesday, it was great to see her... Des taught me how to make monchou cake... way too yummy! Next time I will take pictures :)
The next couple weeks will be kind of busy so I'm not sure how much I will be able to post... but I would still love to hear from you! And I want to thank all of the people praying for us. It may not seem like much but we are learning how much it really is!
