Hoi Familie :)

Hoi familie!!
It was a really great week for a lot of different reasons! I got to see my area a little bit this week; going on a few different exchanges; went to Kortrijk and also to Leuven; which is right by Brussels.. so amazing how old this country is, night and day difference than netherlands.
I had some pretty amazing expiriences also this week; i don't know if you remember that elder from belgium, that served in our area in utah year and a half ago; but he lives in leuven; so on exchanges i was able to go visit him.. kinda nervous about it; since he's been inactive for the past 8 months, and the elders to leuven called him a couple days previous to ask if they could visit and he had said no.. so didn't know what to expect, but i took the opportunity and visited him anyways, and he answered the door, and it was really great visit. He said that he was really happy to see me; and that i was the first person that he has seen since his mission from his mission.. also said that he'll come to antwerpen ward in a couple weeks to visit me there.. so neat; i never did say goodbye to him, and never told
him how great of an example he was to me.. but i did that night; and i think that he was touched.. really neat; i felt like i accomplished or did one of the reasons as to why i was even called to this mission.. and then heard news from spijkenisse and a couple of people there are going to get baptized, or made those girls; one being pat; so excited to hear that; she had been going through some difficult times but now she caught some fire again.. and then saskia de reus also now has a baptismal date.. so sweet; i really feel like i'm undestanding the scripture out D&c 18: 15-16 more and more as i progress in my mission.. i found all that out the day i was in leuven; and it was the most joyous days of my mission that wasn't a
baptismal day.. it was amazing.. Isaac here in Antwerpen was not baptized this week, but he is definitely planning on it; we all felt like it was a little fast, and we were able to explain baptism a little more to him, and he is super prepared.. loves church, was there again on sunday, and he hinted to me that he was for sure going to be baptized this month.. really neat to see a man truly converted
and for the right reasons.. We are teaching a chinese investigator named ling; she's great; and we have had some powerful lessens on prayer and the plan of salvation,, it's so interesting teaching people without a background of god.. i love it, because it's so exciting to see them find him.. i think back on sun; and i
feel like ling can end up like him! other than that; were dealing with some other investigators; still love them, but our focus is definitely on finding right now.. cool expiriences that i wish I could share; but i'm out of time.. love you all; and thanks for all you do!!
Tot ziens!
Elder Mohrman
