Lieve Familie,
I love you. The love I have for each
and every one of you just seems to grow and grow. It humbles me to know that I
have such a lovely, caring, supportive family who inspires me! You are all
awesome.
Well things here in Antwerpen are just newwwww. My son
(comp) is a bosssss! Couldn´t have gotten a better young missionary. Elder
Wilson is his name and he is from Calgary, Canada. He is the definition of “hipster”
so he is really showing me some new hip fashion! HA. But it’s been a fun first
couple of days back here in Belgium. We got left with absolutely nothing and
the apartment seemed to have gone through world war 3 before we came, including
a huge invasion of mold through out the shower- couldn´t think of a better way
to end my mission:)
So far we have just been walking around A TON (we
both don’t have bikes yet) and doing lots of contact/knocking doors. In
otherwords.. Were doing the typical missionary work here. Back to the BASICS! I
really am loving it. Elder Wilson is pretty funny when we are working because
he is not yet used to it, everything is just new for him! However, it is
awesome to see his “greenie fire” and high spirits while working. It’s
also nice to not have to worry about giving trainings or spend lots of time
planning. Finally just get to chill with my comp and get work done. Were just
hoping and praying for miracles here and planning on picking this city/area
back up on its feet.
Saturday and Sunday we had stake conference so unfortunately
we haven´t ready had a chance to meet too many members, but I did get the
chance to see many close and dear friends of mine from Kortrijk and Eindhoven.
It was a glorious re-uniting! I couldn´t wipe the smile from off my face. I
love my mission and all those who have been a part of it. I hold them close to
my heart.
At stake conference I came across a good friend of mine
who I hadn´t seen in about 18 months. We served in the same district at the
beginning of my mission. After we were talking for a bit she simple said.. “Wow,
you have changed.” I was a little caught off guard by her comment, but then she
corrected herself and switched the word from change to grown. I believe I have
grown lots in the last 2 years or I should say- I have learned a lot the last 2
years. Being with Elder Wilson has also helped me realize.. Him just beginning
his mission and me finishing mine. The mission has given me the opportunity to
grow. To grow in a way that I would have never been able to have unlesss I came
out. I am so grateful for that. My testimony has grown lots and also my love
and understanding of the Gospel. Its true!
Love you all! Have a great week, be safe, keep preparing for the
homecoming, and ENJOY TO THE END!
CHRIST LIVES.
Love,
Big Dude
