Another transfer in
Leeuwarden means another layer to be painted over this beautiful city.
but this round--we got a new player (the old one had a game over. ouch.
Shout out to Zuster Rigdon who is now returned with HONOR.)
My new companion, Zuster
Clement, might just be the best painter I've ever met. I am very
impressed. We have seen miracles come out of the nooks and crannies of
this great city. It has been a BLESSED transfer so far (five days?).
I have been humbled like
crazy this week. I have realized that my ways are always imperfect.
That's really hard to accept--especially when here I was thinking I had
been making all this progress. And the thing isn't that I haven't been
making the progress that I believed I had been making, but it's
accepting that there is still a really long way to go, so I cant just be
content with my ways. I think that's a big reason that change is so
important in this life--it forces us to get out of the ruts and routines
and patterns that we have been in and challenges us to continuously
improve. It forces us to make choices--to change our behavior, or let it
be, and see if that will help us grow or let us fester. This change has
been one of the harder ones, but I've also seen some of the greatest
miracles.
I cannot explain the
testimony that I have recieved of member missionary work since I have
been on my mission. If there is anything of the most worth that a person
can do for the people they love, it is introduce them to the way that
will bring them back to Jesus Christ. Back to Heavenly Father. And help
them make it so that they can live forever with the people who matter
most to them, "in a state of happiness that has no end." This I know.
Painting isn't always easy, but man oh man is it beautiful.
Stay beautiful--
with love
ZUSTER HOFF
