Lieve Familie,
Thanks
to everyone for the birthday wishes and the birthday shout outs that I received
this last week. You really have no idea how much they all meant. I am so
grateful for the continual support that I receive from you guys and am amazed
from the love I feel for you all. I cannot describe it. SOOO THANK YOU!
My birthday week was awesome! It was definitely a whole lot different from
any other birthday but, nevertheless, I definitely cannot complain. Monday
we spent the day with Marnix at the Gym and then spent the rest of the day in
Brugge and then on the Beach in Oostende. Tuesday, the Leman Family had us over
to celebrate my birthday and gosh I was just speechless the whole time because
of the love that I felt. Following that, we took a train up to the Nederlands
for our zone training the following day and had a great zone training about
"Raising your expectations". It was very inspiring. Then it was back
to Kortrijk where Elder Argueta and I truly just love the members here and
ended up having a great week of missionary work.
The work here is definitely increasing. I wish I could tell you all the details
about our investigators that we have found and the amazing spirit that I have
felt bearing my testimony, but I truly cannot put it down on paper. I really
love the work here in Kortrijk. This place will always be special to me.
Steven the Kick boxer is doing good. He seriously is just a boss and I'm
excited to keep teaching him. Benno came to church yesterday which was soooo
awesome and he is making some super progress. Froni en Pedro (the family we’re
teaching) are making some serious progress and I have to say that they have
been my favorite people to teach through out my whole mission. And we are now
teaching this women named Beatrice. Last but not least we are also now working
with this awesome Russian family who are less active, but we are going to do
our best to just bring them friendship and joy! They are sooo chill! Hahah but
YA- all these people have amazing stories and I am grateful for the privilege I
have to help them receive more happiness in this life. After all, you cannot
turn down happiness:) SOOOO YEAH WE STAY POSTIVE AND THE WORK IS GOOD
LEKKKKKERR!
Anyways,
Today
just so happens to mark the day where I can officially say, "hey I only
have one more year left of this adventure." This will get me really
"chuncky" saying, but yes in exactly one year from today I will be
seeing Mom and Dad. CRAZZZZY! Time really does fly. Soo peeps.... coming back
to my sports... ITS HALFTIME! Its halftime of the biggest championship game yet
and let’s just say, I am looking forward to this upcoming second half. Its
going to be a tough second half with ups and downs, but when it’s all said and
done... I know that I will just be saying the same thing I said last time I was
in a championship game- "man I am so grateful and thankful to have
had that opportunity". Gratefulness and always having a smile on your face
is the KEY!
I Love you all so much. More than
life itself. Thank you for the love and support. I am eternally grateful. Have
a great week and please be safe. Party like its hot and YOLO it up. L.O.V.E.S.
Love,
Big Dude
