Semper Verum

Late last week, we received permission to watch the Netherlands vs Argentina, in the semi-finals of the world cup, so on Sunday, we told the members in Leiden, and were invited to watch it with the Jongkees family. On Wednesday, we went over there just before 22:00. It was a long game, with extra time and a penalty shoot-out, because neither team had been able to score at all during the game. But in the end, it turned out that my choice of a sky blue tie had been correct, as the Albicelestes beat Oranje 4-2 in penalty shoot-outs. By the time we got home, it was almost 2:00. The next night was also a late night, as we had to drive the Amsterdam elders home after exchanges. 

We had a good time during exchanges, and we taught some really good lessons. We have one investigator from China, that is really really positive. She will not commit to being baptised yet, because she wants to be sure that she will be dedicated once she is baptised, and not divert from the path or fall away from the church. But she has never dropped an appointment, and is excited to learn more. For someone with no background with religion at all, she is really progressing well. Hopefully, she will get baptised before she goes back to China this summer.

Football was cancelled this morning, because people were going to be playing some sort of golf on the field we normally use. But that was ok, because a new sister missionary arrived this morning and we had to go and get stuff taken care of for legality and finance.
