Baptism comping!

March 27, 2011

Wow! I received some great letters this week! Even some pics! I feel loved :)!
Thanks so much! Well mom about being transferred, anything that arrives here in Kortrijk before the 27th of April will find me. My address, I’m
Anticipating will change at that point. I’m glad that you enjoyed the pics etc; I have another set when you send that one back, oh and thanks for sending them all back out - I like to look back at the pics every now and then so I really try not to delete them. Thanks again! That’s very cool that Khris stopped by, how are things with him? Be sure to send some love his way for me! You and dad sure do look great over there at the sock hop :). Danielle is looking as pretty as ever, very exciting stuff happening with her, Getting a job, and the license, Miss Independence!

Scripture reading is going good here! I’ve put my Book of Mormon reading on hold as conference comes closer. I’m trying to get prepped for this coming conference by making sure that the messages and counsel from last conference are fresh in my mind. I’m so excited about next week!!!!!!!!

Well, in other news things the work is going pretty well :). Carmen will be baptized on the 9th of this next week! I am so excited! Then Alain had some real concerns earlier this week and he told us he did not want the lessons anymore, we had no idea what the issue was; thereafter he had received his first Liahona he found a talk directly addressing his concern which was tithing. To further clear the matter we took President Lemon on joint teach to his house and we were able to completely clear up his issues :)! What a blessing! He will be baptized on April 30th!

This week we did a look up out of the area book and found this man home, his name is Faustino and he speaks some Dutch and some English so we were able to communicate and have a great first lesson at the end of which we extended a baptismal invitation and he accepted :), we will keep you posted as Faustino progresses!

We helped the same member of the ward again with some moving etc and were again able to enjoy each others’ company and talk a bit about the gospel etc and unfortunately were not able to find time to share a formal message and yet inactive Sarah, and investigator Richard were in church again, along of course, with Alain and Carmen! It was great!
Things with Elder Byork are still interesting and yet we are making this work and that is all that matters. Those were mostly the highlights of our week :).

I love ya’ll very, very much and am looking forward to talking to you soon!
Much love,
Ryan
