Hey Everyone,
Well it has been an interesting week this week. And it has seemed like a super long time. We got our new missionary. His name is Elder Caywood; he is from Sandy; Utah. It will be interesting to see how it goes.
We are really working on restarting our area with new investigators and so we have a lot of just plain finding ahead. That always tends to slow down time quite a bit. I got to see President the other day for the last time. he came to a baptism that we had here on Saturday. It was a very cool Lady named Aurélie. She is super elect; a true kingdom builder; which is what we truly need down here. It was very special; probably the best baptism i have ever been too. That was cool.

Hello family.
Well, sadly I don’t have much time today for emails. We are going off to a city called Namur today as a whole zone. It should be fun, but we have to leave ASAP.
Well, to start with. I got transfer news last night, so I know what is going on for the next six weeks and I am very excited about it. Well it will be interesting to see what happens because president said that I need to have things changed up and be given some challenges. So we will see what that means in the future.

Hey,
So sorry about how the email didn’t work last week, I don’t know what happened. I actually wrote an email on Monday and it didn’t work, but we were out of time, so I had to go and couldn’t send it. But then we came back and rewrote emails on Tuesday. That one should have worked, [I don’t know why] it didn’t it says it got sent. Anyway, the ldsmail is super sketchy and glitchy.
Anyway. Things are cruising along. This keyboard is sketchy too, no two keyboards are the same here, and half of them don’t match up with what the keys say. To get a period; I need to hold down shift and press down the comma and semicolon key. Its all messed up.

Hello everyone,
Sorry I missed you yesterday for the emails. It is Pentecost day today, which is a huge holiday and everything is closed. So we celebrated P-Day yesterday but still have to do some shopping and emails today because everything was closed yesterday.
We had a very cool P-Day though. We actually got to spend it on U.S. soil. We got invited by a member, who is actually American, to go up to the Henri Chapelle American Cemetery. It is the largest American cemetery here in Europe I believe. Over 200,000 soldiers are buried there from WWII. Many of the soldiers are from the Normandy invasion but most of them are from the battles that took place on the very ground that we stood on the border between Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands. Actually on our way driving to the cemetery we drove through the very battlefields that they fought at, as we traveled up to the top of this large hill/ mountain. We drove through these areas and it was very humbling, and then our trip culminated when we summited the hill onto the ground of the cemetery, which stood on this big hill that overlooked German countryside to the south, and Belgium to the North, and even the Netherlands off the the East. We took pictures from this point, where you could look out for eternity on this land that was once a battle for freedom. We went through the large cemetery and it was very peaceful and humbling. There was a map of all the battles that were fought in this area and where these people served. I really enjoyed the experience to be there and learn, from the past.
