| Hey All, | |||
This is going to be a short one.
Today was really cool, because we got go to the temple in Den Haag. It is so beautiful and small. We first did a session in English then a session in dutch. After the two sessions we got to see a beautiful couple in the ward sealed together and their little boy who died was also sealed. I was so beautiful and spiritual. I am so greatful for the plan of salvation and the opportunity we have to live with those we love forever!
That is about all I have time for this week

Dear Family,
This week was a normal one, aside from the fact that on Friday, we had a regional holiday called San Juan. I think I mentioned this last year, but San Juan is a holiday celebrating the life of John the Baptist, and here in the jungle, it's HUGE. Teaching was a bit more difficult that day because most people went to Yarinacocha to spend the day (whereas, in Yarinacocha last year, the day was fantastic).
Everyone goes swimming on San Juan. I would imagine that back in the day, it started out as everyone getting baptized, and it slowly evolved into just swimming...and drinking. I'm kind of glad it's over.
We had a pretty spiritual experience yesterday. In church, a ward member gave us a referral to her neighbor who lives right in front of her. Our last appointment that night fell through and we were close, so we decided to knock and see if she was there. She wasn't, but her cousin was, and asked if we were Mormon missionaries.
We replied with pleasure, yes, and she said that she's been waiting for us to come to her home and teach her family the missionary lessons, in hopes that what we teach can help fix-up her broken-down family relationships. Yes, indeed, it totally can help. We're very excited to visit that family now. We could see the hand of the Lord in that experience.
The mission is coming to a close soon, but to keep me from working less, I've set myself some goals. There are a few people I want to see baptized before I leave, and getting them there will require a lot of work. I know it's possible, and I'll do what I can do see it happen.
How's everybody up there? Sorry to hear that Katie's not doing so well. I'll fast for her this week. I'm glad to hear that the nieces and nephews had fun on Trek! It was a great experience, but, like Mary Kate, I probably won't do it again. But I would totally go back to Camp Helaman and perhaps even the mission field again!
Love,
Adam
P.S. I had a dream that I was getting married to a banana and I crashed my own wedding. Does anyone know what it means?
