Hey everyone!
The mission over here in Belgium is amazing! Like I
absolutely love it. The people are fantastic and sooo loving. We are
teaching lots of people.
Sooo okay dutch sayings;
hello= halo or hoi
goodbye= tot ziens
I don't really know how to explain this crazy language, but I love
it and find it beautiful.
Anyways let's see, so miracle of the week. Okay, I hope you're ready for this because it is super super intense, like
blow your mind in-tenseness!
Alright, so in Leuven there is this huge party going on like every other weekend, sooo
basically talking to people in the Centrum (the center of the town)
was like out of the question. Lot's of loud music and such so we as
missionaries, we prayed for some guidance and we had a feeling we needed
to go see this old potential.
So that's what we did. Well there is only
one way to get to his house and that is through this giant park dingus (dutch filler word that like encompasses everything). So as we are
strolling through the park this student runs up to us, drink in hand and
starts to talk to us about the Gospel. Loe and behold his friend also
runs up, who happens to be a man who we had just started to teach and
who's house we had stopped by earlier that day!
Sooo that was super awesome, we had
an amazing conversation with them, said a prayer and continued on our
way to the man's house who we intended to see this week. Anyways, he
wasn't there so we walked back through this same park.
A different guy
starts talking with us, which was crazy. That led to us talking to a
investigator who they (the other missionaries) haven't seen since before I got to Leuven. We also had a conversation with these three girls, I don't know how old they
were, 18'ish I would guess, about the Gospel and yeah, one of the girls took a Book
of Mormon which is super cool.
By this point there were like 5 or 6
people listening which never happens so we had to pull out our
portable soapbox..J/K. :-) We had a very interesting conversation
with them, so yeah, after all of this went down we were stopped by a
family who had overheard our conversation and wanted to learn more, so
we explained who we were and what our purpose was and gave them our
number! So it was absolutely insane!!
I guess what I learned was that
first of all our Heavenly Father has a perfect plan and that this is
truly his work. Also that hard work definitely brings blessings.
Anyways I love you all and hope you have an amazing week!
