Happy early Thanksgiving!

Hoi familie!!!

Transfers.... and... yeah i'm staying, no big shock there =) So christmas in belgium, looking forward to it! Elder Frahm, he also is going to stay with me, we both thought that he was gonzo.. but his prayers were answered and he will now be my second companion that i will have for longer than 1 transfer =O And we are on fire right now, blessings up the wazoo!! it's been absolutely crazy here.. Isaacs baptism did indeed go through, what a great expirience.. humble man.. and he brought all his family to church to see him get baptized! We had a scare though, mid-way through church our ward mission leader comes to us and says that there is no water in the font, but that there's a foot and a half of water in the church basement!! the hot water pipe busted and was spraying water all over the place.. the ward wanted to cancel the baptism, and of course we didn't want too.. were scrambeling to try and find a solution and finally we figured out we could still fill the font, but just with ice cold water.. Well our ward mission leader really wanted to cancel the baptism, but we had him ask isaac, and isaac said "i'm ready, i will be baptized".. amazing.. and so isaac was baptized in ice cold water with his family all watching.. powerful, the spirit was very strong.. I had my first opportunity to translate, i translated a couple of talks that were given at his baptism into english.. interesting expirience!! But it was good.. Isaac shared his testimony after he was baptized, and bared powerful testimony on the book of mormon, and also his expirience a couple weeks ago.. he likened the cold water like how he felt that day.. super neat.. Then he said his next greatest wish is to see his family also be baptized into this church.. it was great, after it was all over, isaac's wife, who just had a kid so we haven't really taught her, she told elder frahm that now that isaac is baptized we can focus on her.. so neat, and the daughters are also super excited and were going to be going over and visiting with them this week as well, with isaac as the joint teach!! It's just miraculous.. that's a good word. =) We have two other baptismal dates at the moment, kwame and his daughter, both came to church also, both loved and had a great time, and kwame knows a member in the church really well, and told us that he will come every week, this is the church for him!! That was super great, as now he has a foundation we can build on, and also a friend in the church who is also super excited and said he wants to help us teach kwame's family! Ultimately, these past two weeks have been hands down the best in my mission, in terms of success seen, production all that.. we had 9 people come to church last sunday! Three times the standard of excellance for my mission.. absolutely crazy and great, and things are just continuting to roll here.. Not much is changing in my zone, the sister companionship is changing though in antwerpen.. an old friend is coming, sister kraemer.. that's going to be crazy, haven't seen or been around her since my first transfer!! It should be fun, everywhere in the zone miracles are happening, it's been so fun being the zone leader and seeing all the different miracles take place! I'm not even scratching the surface of what i could be talking about, but i suppose this will have to do for this week.. life is good, i'm going to try and send you some photos.. this fancy computer at our church has a slot for my memory card!! how cool.. well okay, thanks for everthing, i guess the next email, i expect i'll have the news that i'm an uncle =0 Unbelievable.. in a good way of course =) I'm going to have a great thanksgiving this year, going over to a members home, and they said not to eat lunch before we come over.. theres going to be a lot of food, it's going to be great!! A lot different from last year that's for sure!!
Love you all loads!
