It's been quite a slow
week but this next week will be just the opposite because we have to travel all
over. Tomorrow and Thursday we have planned exchanges here
in Antwerpen and again in Sint-Niklaas,Wednesday we go up to Nederland and
Leiden for the Temple, Conference and then Friday we go to Brussels for
legality purposes and again Brussels on Sunday for stake conference.
We won't even be in Antwerpen very much but we get to see other missionaries
which I am real excited for.

| we got soaked here haha dripping wet |
This week Elder
Peterson and I have been real sick with colds and I had a nasty head cold for a
day. It was nice though because it only lasted for one day and then lately it
has just been lingering. Not super fun though. It has also been raining like
crazy here the last 3 or 4 days and so its like a flood everywhere and you don't
dry off because it is so humid.
We had several lessons
for this last week planned but unfortunately most of them fell through. Belgium
is really strange because no one is ever home. Ever. Even when it is pouring
rain and inside is the only place you want to be, no one is home. So we have
had a real hard time with that, especially with bringing members along for
lessons and then the investigator doesn't show up after we have confirmed. Kind
of frustrating. We are still seeing great success though and have had a lot of
Facebook referrals and talk about family history to people.
My Dutch is getting
better and we had the chance to meet again with President and Zuster Robinson
this last Tuesday. Zuster Robinson helped me a lot with advice over the
language and keeping faith high. In each lesson there are truths and restored
truths and as long as understand those and teach those in Dutch well, people
will feel the Spirit. So that has helped this last week.
Conference was still
really good and last night we watched the Sunday Afternoon session
since it was already midnight here when it was live. Elder Bednars
talk was my favorite. it was funny but one of those talks that drills you
hard.
The food is still good
here and i haven't eaten anything i haven't liked yet!
Sorry this week has
been so boring. It's just become routine now but its still really great.
Next week will be much
more interesting.

| we got to watch the National Belgian Futsal Team play |
Dad
that's cool you got to meet with the governor. and go to Utah. i miss those
family reunions and wish i could be there. i get more homesick over things like
that than anything else.
I'm not gonna
lie Saturday was the worst.
that was the day it
rained for 4 hours and it was cold and we had to look up a lot of people so we
were dripping wet. you don't dry off either so we stayed wet all day. i would
hope it would be like 5 but my watch would say 2:30. it was the worst. and
we had no lessons that day so we knocked doors and contacted but you cant hear
what people are saying because people driving down the cobblestone streets are
really loud. honestly every person i saw on the street i hoped would just shoot
me dead haha it was brutal. I'm actually making it sound a lot worse than it
really was but i need to write it out so i can vent it haha i was frustrated
with everything and elder peterson was happy Saturday so that
frustrated me even more haha not good... but i got over it, yesterday was good
and I'm learning more in church and it is sunny today.
i really have nothing
cool to say haha its been quite a lame week
Elder Reese
it was pretty this day
after the rain storm.
also european streets
signs are funny because they don't tell you where you are going but they tell
you where you are NOT going haha
