1st letter from Leuven, Belgium - Week 12

No "official" blog email this week, but understandable considering he's very busy learning, serving and doing all the things a Groentje (greenie) does!  Here is what Elder Walker had to say about his first week in Belgium.  :-)  

Madre I love you, sorry I don't have a whole lot of time to talk this week.  I promise that next week I will write in more detail but I'll just do a quick overview.

Belgium is awesome period end of story.  The people are amazing, the food is delicious, especially the cheese and yogurt.  American stuff doesn't even taste real.  Chocolate, I will see what I can do (I may have asked him, while he's there, if he could send us some Belgian chocolate! :-) ) and the scenery is just beautiful.

Okay, so the language is good people can understand me and I'm picking it up pretty quickly!  I still have a lot to learn but I know the Lord is helping me.  Elder Clukey is amazing, he is a great missionary and we are working hard and we have seen sooooo many miracles this week it's just awesome awesome awesome!!  Being a missionary is amazing! uhm yes I got your package with meds and stuff thank you very much! (sooo glad it made it to him before he went overseas!)  uhm I dont know of anything I need per say that you could send to me but I'll think about it.  Anyways I love you so much have an amazing week, tell Troy and everyone hi!

Tell my brothers I love them and I'll write a better email next week!

Leaving on a jet plane (from Reno to SLC / SLC to Atlanta / Atlanta to Amsterdam)

Welcome to Amsterdam, Netherlands! 

 Here is a little excerpt from Elder Clukey's blog:

Well, this week was a fantastic week!! I said my goodbyes to Elder Besendorfer and then picked up my son in Amsterdam! His name is Elder Walker. He is from Utah and is fantastic! He is such a hard worker and really just wants to do missionary work. His visa actually got delayed so he was in California for a transfer. Based on that information he speaks Incredible Dutch! It is such a blessing to have him as my companion! Things are really going well here. We have done some really hard work and are seeing wonderbare (miracles) here in Leuven.
