So Tuesday was a good day! We had district meeting and interviews with President and Sister Robinson. They are really great and enjoy being around them. I first talked to Sister Robinson and within the first couple of minutes I was in tears. I don't know why but she just gets the tears out of me sooo quickly. Haha I feel like I have not been the best missionary that I can be. I find it sooo hard to talk to people on the streets and I am just so nervous because my dutch is not very good. NO WONDER MY DUTCH IS ROTTEN, I DON'T EVER SPEAK IT. So I am changing my ways.
Conference was the best thing ever and totally needed. I wrote down questions and concerns that I had before hand and I am pretty positive that all of them were addressed. Now I just need to do some thing about them. I really needed that conference and I hope you all learned something as well. I know Heavenly Father answers prays and wants to help us through our whole lives.
Wednesday was a great day! We had exchanges with Gent so I was with Zuster Brophy who is the cutest person ever. We have some really awesome sisters here in Vlaanderen. We had this lesson with a new member and her husband who is not a member. They talk soooooo fast it was really hard to understand but by the end we got an appt to start teaching her husband the lessons. He wants to get baptized but is having a hard time quiting smoking. But ya that was cool so now we have a new investigator. We then had a great dinner with Bishop and his wife. I wish I had a picture of them because they are really cool. haha Then we had spanish lessons with the Rivera family, who are members. They are the coolest people and just wanting to get to know them better. I learned how to set up an appointment in spanish. Boo Ya. haha

Thursday was sooo good also. We exchanged again so I was with Zuster Israelsen. We looked up two referrals that we got and they were both home!! So cool!! One of them is wanting to have dinner with us, his name is Wouter and the other lady, Anis, is super cute and from Poland. She has health problems and works a lot so hopefully we can meet with her again because we had a really good spirit with us when we first met with her.
We were sooo blessed this week with meeting potentials and being able to talk with new people. On friday we were doing some concentrated contacting and werent getting much success but the last door that we knocked was this cute old man who lost his wife. We set up a time to meet with him this week. SO excited! AND THENNNNN We did one of the most exciting things ever....We ate foo foo. I wish I could send pictures..(well ill try but we will see) Foo foo is this african meal that is like dough stuff made from startchy plantains and with a meaty soup on the side. SOO LEKKER. You use your hands to dish out the soup and eat it. Its hard to explain but I will explain better when I get home if you want to know haha.
The rest of the week was conference and it was beautiful!! We also met up with this newer inactive member and we hope that we can bring that happiness back into her life. Other than that. Life has been soo good. We pulled a bwatu on bwatu because we had an appt with him and accidentally was late..He usually does that to us.

I pray for you guys daily. Listen to the words of the prophet and the apostels, they really know the way. I am going to try to be a better missionary. Pray that I will have the confidence to talk to those around me. It shouldnt be a problem because Im so loud huh? but it is. Oh well. Transfer calls are next week...I might get moved so I would recommend not sending a letter this week until I let you know next week. I love it here though.
Love you alll so much and hope that all is going well. Keep working hard dad, You are really the best ever. And mom, You should send me some of your jam. Steph, i hope your birthday was great!! LOVE YOU!!!
