Hello to all!!!
Today we went with the Johor
Bahru Zone, and the Singapore Zone out to Pulau Ubin (Ubin Island) and
went bike riding ALL DAY!!!! It was so much fun! The morning we spent
Mountain biking on some black diamond courses and a couple double black
spots. SUPER FUN! We rented bikes, and while mine was not the best, I
made it work. One of the other missionaries who had down mountain biking
in the past was impressed with my ability to ride! It must have come
from my trail riding days on the motorcycle, and my bike riding in my
youth. It was such a blast flying through the jungle riding bikes, avoid
rocks and cliffs and climbing up steep hills. It was the best Zone
activity yet! It definitely helped the missionaries in the zone to bind
together in spirit of unity. I feel that this is one of the most
important things to do. Do something together. In families especially,
sometimes you just need to set some time apart and do something outside
of the normal together. Whether it is a movie, going to the park,
painting together, whatever the activity, I still remember all the times
my father took me out. They are times in which I will never forget, and
will help build immortal families. Eventually if you keep saying
"Tomorrow" it will become an empty pile of "yesterdays". So I am ever
grateful for my parents going out and doing things with us :D
Another great event of this last week was my last Zone
Conference. It was also an all East Malaysia conference, with over 70
missionaries together!!! Wow!!! Talk about an army to feed! It was such a
great spirit there, and the missionaries were so obedient and
incredible and easy to work with. The final testimonies were amazing
(and there was also more than 11) all the final testimonies of departing
missionaries. Including mine :(. It was so great to see missionaries
share about how they've changed, but the most incredible were their
testimonies, when they testified about the savior and how he has
changed. As I gave my own, I could barely speak at times as I spoke
about the power of repentance. I was brought to tears, and all because I
knew that what I was stating was true. It was a huge memorable
experience. Testimonies are huge. President Clark's testimony was
incredible as well. I can't describe. Just pure spirituality :D
Well i hope each and every one of you will find some time to
spend with family, and bear testimony to your children, parents, friends
about the truths of the gospel. It will change your life :D
Your loving friend, brother, and son,
Elder Willem Kampenhout
