My cologne: Waffle- President Robinson

Hello Friends and Family-

Wow what a great and exhausting week! We are staying crazy busy over here in Rotterdam and it is great. We are preparing for Serenity's and Usha's baptism for this upcoming Saturday and they are soooo excited. We brought them to church because there mom was sick yesterday and they are starting to make lots of friends with the other kids in the ward and everything. Because we see them so much and have become so close with them, it almost feels like we are their little moms. Haha we both have gotten really attached and I am scared for the time when we have to say goodbye! We told them yesterday that in about three weeks one of us would probably have to move somewhere else, and they both just stopped talking and wouldnt do anything for like 5 minutes. It was so sad! Definately a hard part of a mission- saying goodbye to people! But we are super excited for the baptism and will take lots and lots of pictures :)

Nederland got third place and it was super fun to watch the game on Wednesday night! I am stillll recovering from going to bed at 2am but...in the end it was all worth it even though they lost to Argentina. We went to a members house and did face paint, wore our orange, and ate some good food. It was super weird...it almost felt like I was a normal person for awhile. Haha On Friday we were able to see a really cool miracle. We received a really awesome member referral. Broeder Vermeer told us that he had some neighbors he wanted us to meet. So we made an appointment and went over there and he introduced us. They are sooo prepared! We talked alot about the Book of Mormon and The Plan of Salvation and we have a return appointment for this upcoming Wednesday night. It was so cool to see the spirit work through them and to see how much they wanted to know more and more about the Book of Mormon. We are super excited to see what happens as we continue teaching them. We also had interviews this past week with President and Zuster Robinson- oh how I love them! They are so hilarious hence the quote in the subject line. I had walked in the room and it smelt like waffles and I said something to President and he goes- Its my cologne. hahaha I died laughing. It was super awesome to sit and talk with him about the work and everything. Other than that, we are just staying busy and are booked with appointments this week. We barely even have time to go finding! But I love you all so much and I hope you have a great week!

Love, Zuster Brophy
