This week was kinda a mess but ca va! C'est la vie! My toe
was super jacked up. It finally got to the point where I couldn’t take it
anymore so we took a couple of visits to the doc. The first visit the doc said
it would probably take surgery to fix the thing because it was so deep but I
didn’t like that idea so we went to another doc. The next one said it could be
fixed without surgery; all I had to do was take some gnarly pills! He was
right. Turns out it was just super infected and the nail hadn’t grown in too far.
With a little digging into my foot, two large pills, prayer, and soaking my
foot in some crazy medicine it was miraculously fixed! Yay. Now I can walk like
a normal person. We missed a lot of proselyting time due to my stupid bug toe,
so I’m glad that is finally over with. I’ll
send some pics of it. It’s pretty neat.
Conference was a bit weird. We watched the Saturday morning
session here at 6 o’clock Saturday night. Then we watched the priesthood
session, Saturday night, and Sunday morning session all on Sunday here. Only
two of them were live feed. The other two were recorded. I still haven’t seen
the Sunday afternoon session. Pretty excited for the Liahona magazine issue to
come out. The church is a five minute walk from our house #Blessings. Transfer
notices come on Saturday. I am pretty sure I will be staying here. I hope so
anyway. I love it here. The people are awesome. And of course I love the food
as well. After yesterday’s sacrament (fast and testimony meeting) meeting I’m
pretty sure I could stay here in this ward forever! The spirit was soooo
strong. Honestly I didn’t understand every word that was said from the pulpit
(Français) but almost everyone that bore there testimony did it with humility
for the lord and for the gift of his son, Jesus Christ. Everybody was crying, sobbing, and really
reflecting on the blessings they have received recently. I hope I never forget
that meeting! It was a life changer.
This last week I also had the opportunity to attend the
funeral of our Bishop’s mother. It was also a real spiritual builder. Once
again not everything that was said from the pulpit made complete sense in my
grand tete (big head) but the spirit was soooo strong. The biggest of sinners
could have felt it!! Many people
attended who were not of our faith. I know they felt something. Hopefully they
have questions for the missionaries! During the funeral I thought a lot about Grandma
Hendrix and how her funeral would of went. I’m sure there were many tears of
sadness but many more tears of joy. Grandma is in a better place! She is in the rest of God who gave her life.
How grateful I am for the plan of salvation! I watched many people cry hysterically
during the funeral. Theirs were not tears of joy because they don’t have the
same knowledge we do. They don’t believe that they will ever see her again. It
really is sad. But that’s why I am here in Belgium on a mission. To share with
people the plan of salvation! The best plan everrrr.
Well that’s about it for the week. Oh yeah, Justin Beiber
was in town last week. People were going crazy. Including me ahhah just kidding. Every missionary hates him, except for me of
course. Kids got a cute lil voice. I got
no reason to hate. I hope ya’llz life is awesome. You deserve it. Love ya to
the moon and back.
