Week #11 in Amsterdam, Netherlands and Final Post!

Hey team! 

This is my last email I will be sending as a missionary. I end my mission next week and my parents are coming and picking me up on Dec 13th.

My Mission has been such a blessing in my life. I am so grateful for everything I have experienced here and for everyone I have met. This week was an interesting week. We had some highlights and not so highlights. 

The big news is that Thomas our investigator will not be getting baptized this week. He has some concerns and wants to work those out before he gets baptized. We are still teaching him and love him!

I got sick this week so that has been fun. Sister Roberts and I made a pie for it! We are professional bakers.

Yesterday and today and tomorrow we are celebrating a Dutch holiday Sinter Klaas! So we have been doing gift exchanges and eating a ton of chocolate and seeing Sinter Klaas everywhere. Super fun.  We had a party yesterday with our Relief Society president and another couple in the ward. We had such a blast!!!! Needless to say the Christmas season is in full swing here.

I am so thankful for the Time I have had out here and look forward to my last week as a missionary and working hard till the end!!

I have gained a testimony of the gospel and of Jesus Christ while I have been in his service. I am so grateful that I decided to come on a mission. It has changed me and helped me learn more about myself, others, and of the Lord. I love the Lord and the scriptures. I love the Gospel. I know that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the restored church on the earth. I know that the priesthood was restored in this church and through it we can be baptized and truly follow Jesus Christ. 

I love you all and hope you have a great week!!
