Arnhem Is Blessed With Baptisms

Shem Nyamitta investigated the church about a year ago with his sister Beatrice. Beatrice was baptized in January, but Shem wasn’t because he had problems overcoming his problems with the Word of Wisdom. The elders stopped going by and about 6 months went by before we met him again. The whole time, however, he continued coming to church with his sister. We met him for the first time at the baptism of Beatrice’s two children, Patience and Stuart. We made an appointment and when we came by he told us that he was determined to overcome his addiction by the end of the year. As he continued making and keeping commitments though, the process went a lot faster than he expected. He was clean from addiction two weeks before the date that he set and baptism came soon afterwards. He is now clean from the burdens that used to drag him down and he always tells us that he has found more happiness than he could ever imagine.
Wioletha Fuh married a member of the church when she was in Poland and that is when her investigation of the church began. She was taught there for a time until her and her husband moved to Nijmegen. Although she cannot speak Dutch or English, the Lord had a plan to teach her the gospel in Nijmegen. With the help of a Polish member, Sis. Kleftowski, and several ward missionaries, she was taught the lessons and prepared for baptism. She was baptized by her husband, with their young child watching. This young family is now committed to living the gospel together and being sealed in the temple in the near future.

8 Months Down

Courtney has been out for 8 months now my has time flown by. We are slow in getting this up and running but in looking at Sister Jordan's blogspot it made us want to do more to show off the beautiful country where he is at. We hope this shows his dedication and love for the gospel and we'll keep this updated weekly. He has grown by leaps and bounds and in more ways than one haha lol! We are so excited for his progress, and look forward to his e-mails and letters each week. Please write him as often as possible, because I don't want to get another letter from him showing that he didn't get any mail, and his companion got handfuls. We will keep the address updated on the side of this blogspot. Thanks for your prayers and support for him and our family.
