Hallo! and happy early thanksgiving! i just got back from playing some good ol american football with the zone and eating some pumpkin pie! and mcdonalds... good american day! haha it was so much fun though seeing all the personalities of the elders really come out. and i got to be the secret weapon for my team (since elders cant touch sisters) and scored 3 touchdowns! haha it was a great day.  i will spend thanksgiving cooking at a members house and teaching them how to celebrate an american holiday! were really looking forward to it! 

 

this week was so full i seriously cant even remember what i could tell you.. my comp just reminded be that we went on exchanges wed! i got to go up to haarlem in the netherlands with the greenie and it was so much fun! it was my first time working with someone so new and it was fun to see how everything worked out. it was especially fun to be able to really use my language because i can understand everyone in the netherlands! here in antwerpen is another story.. haha the flemish accent kills me sometimes. we went to a dinner appt friday and my comp and i just looked at each other half way through the dinner and started laughing because we both knew we were only understanding half of what they were saying.  it gets frustrating but the only thing we can do is laugh. 

 

we are starting to find a lot more work in the nicer family areas of our city and our ward is super excited about that! we had a joint teach at every lesson this week which makes everything more fun for us and the investigator.  we even got to go to institute with an investigator this week which is always great!  i really feel like a part of this ward now and that everyone loves us just as much as we love them. i love being a part of this church and knowing that wherever i go i can have a loving family in a matter of a few weeks.  ill probably be transferred in 2 weeks now.. but then the process will just start all over :) 

 

i am so grateful to be here in belgium on a mission right now and so grateful for the support i receive from my family, friends and the lord!  have an amazing thanksgiving!!

love you all!
