Dear Family,

This week, President Gomez and his family came to Pucallpa for their final Zone Conference. They'll be finishing their mission at the end of June, and all of us are rather anxious to see what the new president will be like.

When President Gomez came over, they also brought a song with them. A couple of missionaries in Iquitos composed a mission song that we were to sing at the president's farewell talk. As we were singing, I was distracted thinking about my district, specifically the Zone Leaders (I'm their District Leader).

They mentioned that one of their progressing investigators has a violin, and the thought occurred to me, "Why not accompany the song with the violin?" I presented the idea to president and he gave me the thumbs-up for it. So the investigator rented his violin to me and I was able to play the mission song as the other missionaries sang.

Afterwards, I began thinking about how blessed I've been to be able to play the violin not once, not twice, but three times in the mission. Especially in a place where the violin is something very endangered. I remember my patriarchal blessing mentioning something about music and how it will bless me in my life. If the Lord let me play the violin formally three times in the mission, perhaps he wants me to do something more with that talent.

I want to thank Katie again for teaching me how to play the violin. I know I wasn't exactly the best student, but she's been the best teacher. I'm glad you're starting to feel better, Katie! I smell miracles in the near future!

How's everyone else doing? Anyone up to some fun things?

Love,

Adam

Family and Friends,

Happy Fathers day to all the Wonderful fathers that I know!

 

This was the week of traveling. On Wednesday I went down to Brussels so I could eat another Waffle (plus pick up my residency card, but that wasn't the important part).  Then we had transfers in Apeldoorn where I learned to achterop which means someone rides on the back of your bike...  after this experience I now know how close our guardian angels are to us at all times. Seriously, I thought I was going to kill both of us on the bike (plus it took about twice as long as it would've if we walked).

I found a street the other day called Flinstoneplein so I freaked out and took a picture. We started knocking the street and guess what the name of the guy at the first house was? guess..... Ok, I'll tell you

FRED FLINSTONE!!!

I nearly died from happiness! It was a pity that he was really rude... 

Sorry that this is a short letter this week, we have a lot to do today. Also Next week I will be emailing on Saturday because the ward is having a temple day and to be able to go we need to change p-day. I am so excited to be able to go to the temple!

I am glad that Katie can eat now and things are slowly progressing, I know that miracles are coming our way.

I love you all
