Lieve Familie,
Wow it was so good to see you all yesterday and to hear from you all! You all
look so great and just sooo soooo happy! It definitely was one of the best days
I have had on my mission of just feeling so loved and cared for. So thank you.
I would say however the hardest times always come right after the best times..
It’s just how the Lord always seems to work. So this morning was just one of
those.. Wow I really really miss my family this morning. hahah but getting back
into the missionary life and missionary mode shouldn’t be that hard for me.
Well no call last night, which means no getting transferred! I am actually
extremely happy and grateful for that because I just love the members here and
just wasn’t ready to leave. My work here in Kortrijk definitely is not done. So
Elder Argueta and I will be pounding out another good 6 weeks here
together! As for the members... I think they were more excited than we were..
After getting dropped off at our apartment by Marnix- he is SO SO SO
HAPPY that we are staying- we found another Member sitting on
our doorstep waiting for us to get home to give us cake! Haha she knew
also that we had the chance of getting transferred and well lets just say that
we had a good little party right outside of our apartment at like 10 a clock at
night because of the great transfer news! The love here in Kortrijk is just
growing and growing between the members and us. It is crazzzy. They all told us
that we are no longer missionaries to them.. We are like family. So awesome and
just so amazing!
In other news... Last week we just had a good'ol week with the members-
going to Brussels and performing the HAKA with them in front of the Stake
and ended up getting first prize! Haha yea it was awesome! - I think a member
is going to put the video up on Facebook soon...
About the mission work here- things
are going great. Elder Argueta and I are really gonna work our butts off
to build this little Branch up here in Kortrijk. Now that we have
full trust and love from the members we are just that much more motivated to
get some miracles and bring some more love into the Branch Kortrijk. We have
found a new stud of an investigator named Steven. He is a world champion kick
boxer and lets just say he is exactly like the guy in the movie Never Back
Down. He has his own Kick boxing gym and lives in the back of it! So LEGIT; We
taught the first lesson to him and gave him a baptismal date for the 21 of
June. He accepted and this week we plan on going back to go train with him and
teach him. In other words I am super stoked to work out with this guy! And
teach him of course:)
I love you all like crazy and it was just so great to see you all yesterday.
You all know that I miss you like crazy and have so much love for each one of
you. Make good choices please and do the right thing! Support one another and
never let anything negative or not positive come out of your mouth. Positivity
kills all negativity... DUH! So just be happy, Smile, Live life, Laugh, do
something dumb, I don’t know.... just never stop smiling people and don’t worry
"Everything will be okay in the end; And If everything is not okay,
then it is not the end." I love you all.
ENJOY TO THE END
Much Love,
- Your son, brother, friend, and lekker
ding... Elder Cook:)
