Goodness

Why?
Well we got to go to the temple this week. It was great to go there.

We had two investigators come to church this week, super cool. Heh, during sacrament, one of their phones went off. Super loud and all that. it wasn't 20 seconds after she got the sound turned off that the other investigators phone went off. Funniest thing. It was great :)

We had a member make us pumpkin pie this week, and it was divine. It was her first time making it, and she did a great job. We have a great branch here. I love em.

We have a pet spider. We named him manier spin :). We feed him gnats when we catch em. We’re gonna start teaching him this week. See if he's interested heheh
  



We’re leaving to a Halloween party thing for the zone, so I gotta go.

My District Before Transfers.

I am now starting a 3rd transfer in an area. The first time since the beginning of my mission. heh... I'm so happy about it too.

We have great people here we're teaching. We taught a lot this week, although not all became new investigators. But that's cool. I had some really interesting discussions. And learned a lot.

Elder P. is learning quick :) it's weird to see in comparison how much Dutch I’ve learned over a year. It's sooo much easier now. But still working on it. Not perfect yet. echt niet.

Maar, I hope your halloween is fun. We're doing a district Halloween dinges next pday. Sisters are putting it on.

 But ya, we ate dinner at this Wok plaza restaurant place, with these people from other churches. They’re all young, around my age, a little older. And they were real cool, invited us to eat with. The food was so good. You got to take all the raw ingredients from this buffet bar, and then give it to the dudes and they wokked/grilled it right in front of you. SOO lekker :)

Love

2nd Verse Same as the First

1. How are we?

So with joy and happiness, I stay in Genk. So does Elder P. :). The district is all staying the same except for one sister (the one from my mtc group), she's moving, getting a new sister....

But mostly we get to have another transfer here! :)

We have several investigators that we are hoping to set baptism dates with this week. We are finding more people to teach, and so is our district. They've found a lot actually. As a district this last week we found 12 new investigators :) super cool.

Funny story, we were walking through Genk Saturday, and it was super busy in the centrum area. There were people performing on the street and stuff. We saw this guy who was dressed so that a saxophone was on his head. No joke. He had like eyeballs on it and a top hat on top. He wore a suit, held an umbrella, and walked around playing it as if he was talking from it, following people and being hilarious.. Sadly I didn't have my camera, but it was soo cool. Elder P. thought it was the creepiest thing ever lol.

We also saw people running in some huge run thing in Hasselt. We had to wait like 10 minutes for everyone to pass, so we could cross the road...

Next week we get to go to the temple. I'm looking forward to that :). This transfer will include Thanksgiving. Makes me think of you guys. I hope everything is on plan for Christmas. You know when November starts, so does the Christmas season. (That’s how it should be in my opinion). We are cold here. It got cold all of a sudden. Scarves gloves and coats already. It happened quite quickly actually.
  
I'm gonna run. (sorta kinda)

Love you!

Genk at night.

This, That and The Other Thing

So I’ll start with This:

We watched conference in the stake center in Antwerpen. Super cool. Although we haven't seen the very first or last sessions. Learned a lot. And two companionships from the district had investigators come to watch some with us :) how cool is that?? Plus I gave a baptism interview to one who, if all goes well, will be baptized this coming Sunday :) We’re looking forward to it.

That:
We were running around all over the place this week. Staying over night in Geel, and then exchanges with them, and then in Antwerpen for conference, and the zone p-day the next day. It was still a great week though. Got to meet with P. and A., and we had interviews with the president and his wife. Great to talk to them. It was actually the best interview I’ve had with him ever :)
I also went to Brussels (again) to get a Europe driver’s license. They are having the district leaders do that, so that if they need to drive a car in the future they can.

And the other Thing:
I don't get how our transfers come so fast. I swear neither S. Mel or  S. Rach or anyone has transfers as fast as us. 
We have transfer calls this coming Sunday and Monday. Both Elder P. and I are crossing our fingers to stay. We feel like we have more we can do for this area and the people here.

I'm praying for you all, and I hope you had a great conference. 

I love you
