Ok here is the low down. This week I was
bombarded with emails of people getting home from missions, getting married,
going to school, living a life that I have forgotten how to live, and getting
older and wiser in the process. So today, the short length of this email will
tell more than any amount of words could say today. Speaking is silver and
silence is gold. (email title)
Transfer week.
Missionaries are now to travel alone between cities. Internationally. Missionaries
that don't know Belgium with 3 bags and a bike. It was a nightmare, but things
will get better with the system. Luckily no one was lost or taken. It's
especially intense sending sister missionaries alone, but everything worked
out. Eventually.
We had less lessons
this week but they increased in quality. Quality over quantity is a huge
underlying theme to missions in Europe. So I guess that makes it a good thing.
We taught a cool girl named Christel and her sisters Linda and Belinda (yes
those are their names). And they couldn't believe we were 20 and teaching them
and they wanted us to tell us everything about God's plan. I like them a lot,
haha, chill, fun people who investigate seriously. The best mix.
We met with an
investigator yesterday whose basement flooded and she was really upset because
she planned on going to the gym and washing her car but couldn't. But instead
of complaining she switched it up and used the basement water to wash her car
and lugging buckets of water up gave her 1.5 hours of fitness haha. She posted
it on Facebook and became famous. I thought it was great.
This is a packed
transfer with weekly conferences and trips to the Netherlands. Au revoir. But
it should be good. Today the zone is coming to Antwerpen to play sports and eat
pancakes then tomorrow we are having training here. All of which is on our
shoulders but the best way to take potential stress and responsibility is with
composure and confidence and so everything is working out fine.
Alright, that's it.
Enjoy the picture of my master parallel parking job this week. You become real
good in Europe you know.
