Beste Familie!
Thanks for all the emails! Very nice, and wonderful.. I enjoyed them immensly! Great hearing from you all and your expiriences from this past week! It's a great exciting time! You've been hearing of all the miracles that i have been seeing for the past few weeks, and now this coming sunday Jen Onzo Chako from belgium will be baptized, and Moniek Rattan from Suriname will be baptized the sunday after that, so in less than two weeks! Sonia is preparine also to be baptized, she just needs to get married to her man.. complicated situation, but I think she will be baptized in April, and for certain her daugther Joanne will be baptized on the 8th of April a little over a month.. amazing, amazing amazing.. I really don't know what to say about these people, there just doing really amazing, all of them were in church, Sonia came for the first time to the investigators sunday school class in dutch, she had been going to the gospel doctrine class, and she loved it! Because it was simpler, smaller, gave her an opportunty to participate, which she did, bore her testimony in the class, very beautiful. We had an appointment with her last friday, and we talked about being positive, I thought of the hymn "count your many blessings" and so we were at the church and I told her to wait a sec while I got get a hymn book, and when I came back and showed her the hymn, she said that she was just barely singing it to Elder Da Cruz.. It was a neat lessen, because it wasn't a lessen that is on the teaching record or required to teach before baptism.. it was a lessen completely based on what she needed.. it was powerful, and she says multiple times, over and over she wants to be baptized, she wants to be baptized.. Amazing.. just need to have Martinez, her man to soften his heart, and they'll be a great family in the church; Sonia, Moniek, and also Jen, all have been fellowshipped really well by the ward, it was monieks first full day at the church, and we really made it a point to introduce her to everyone, and many people said after to us, that they want to stay for the baptismal services of both jen and also Moniek's.. Really great!
Well this past week went to brussel's twice, first to pick up Elder Da Cruz's passport, took the opportunity to see some sites in brussels =P And then I got a call from my mission president, and he assigned me to a 'secret mission', where I was to return to brussels this week.. I guess a change in law over here in the netherlands and belgium is that american driver licenses are no longer valid to use.. so the area office over the cars, were threatening to take away all of our vehicles. So my president sent me and another elder to brussels to see if we could exchange our american liscenses for belgium ones.. which we were succesful in doing.. problem is.. they took our american licenses and it takes a month to get our belgium one (so i'll probably be done being in an area with a car).. and we signed everything away on french documents, and they believe that we "surrendered our licenses" so were probably not going to be able to exchange them back at the end of our missions =0 Which means i'll probably have to exchange it back when I get to the states, which will probably be messy.. but the office elder are working on it, and figuring out what we'll need to do to get our american licenses back! It's a weird feeling to know i'm not technically legal to even drive in America! But it'll all work out, no problem =)
Yesterday, we went to a fireside, and the speaker was a jewish business man, talked all about judiasm, and what not, very interesting. Enjoyed it a lot. Wish I could tell you more about these things and other things that have happened!, however i'm out of time! Love you loads,
Your son, brother, and friend!
