Lieve Familie,
I don’t know if I have ever told you guys this but I really do just love you
guys. I hope that you all haven't got too used to the life without me because
before you know it, I am gonna be back kickin all your necks off so just
prepare for that:) Cool! Oh and by the way... I MISS YOU ALL ALSO!!
So I actually don’t even know where to begin this email- I feel kind of out of
it today because we just spent the whole day in Antwerpen to play soccer as a
Zone and lets just say.. Wow I really got to pick back up my soccer skills;
it’s been toooo longggg! But yeah lets see, life here in Kortrijk and the life
of Elder Cook... this last week was a good and humbling week. It started off
awesome as we taught this businessman (yes dad I am teaching one) and his wife.
They have 7 children and lets just say it is no coincidence that we found them
and have been teaching them. The Father - James is so sincere and just so
awesome to teach. He even takes notes sometimes. But we had an awesome lesson
with him and I am so curious to see how everything will unfold. Keep him and
his wife- Gisselinde in your prayers please:) We also had an awesome
appointment with our kick boxer Steven and he went to church this last Sunday.
He is a stud, but I think this is a journey for him to figure out and as much
as I’d love to see him get baptized, I think it is going to take some more
time- but that’s okay because everyone has their own time and everyone still
has time.
We are also working with that Russian Family and this Sunday one of the 3
daughters came to church! It was her first time back to church in a very long
time and she even gave her testimony during the service! It was also awesome to
be able to teach her during church. We did actually quite a lot of work with the
actives and less actives this last week.
I really am not the best at this typing thing to explain experiences or tell
stories, but each person we are working with and also the members here in
Kortrijk are simply amazing and this time here in Kortrijk is something I will
never forget for the rest of my life. It pretty much has been a "You
had to be there" experience. Hahah
Family I love you guys. This past week I have been thinking a lot about just
how blessed I have been in my life. Blessed with a beautiful family, blessed
with the gospel, blessed with good circumstances during my life, blessed with Finding
Nemo, etc. There are so many blessing we ALL have received in our life and so
many that we see every.single.day. My testimony has grown that we really do all
have a Father in Heaven that loves us and we are ALL, each one of us, His
children. "...For all flesh is in mine hands; be still and know that
I am God." (D&C 101:16) He loves us and gosh do I love you
guys!
Have a great week and know that I will be praying for you all.. (Even you
Bella)! Love you guysss. BE SAFE, make wise decisions, party like its hot, and.....
ENJOY TO THE END!
LOVES,
Big Dude
