Still in Kortrijk, Belgium

March 21, 2011

Hello Hello,

Who is that girl in those pictures?!!!! I know that is not my boo boo sister! Wow...anyways it looks like she was having fun :), where are your pics petite momma? It sounds like life is going well your way :) I’m glad; I’ve been thinking about you this week!

Things are good here, at the moment we are enjoying some wonderful lekker sun! If you all don’t mind I’m just going to gloat while I can about the fact that I have good weather and you don’t lol, by the time I walk out of the library here it will probably be back to rain and clouds lol. I am most definitely getting enough to eat, more than enough!!! I am very happy that I was able to stay here another transfer! The wedding was just great! There was a weird Belgian tradition that we did where we waved this napkin around for like 5 to 10 minutes while we sang some songs etc. It reminded me of My Big Fat Greek Wedding lol. A blast! We just had a great time and there were some non members there that we were able to talk to a bit as well, great stuff! The only drawback was that my stomach was not so happy I was on the we all night lol.

Carmen the principle is enduring and growing and is a continuous joy to be around and to be friends with, I love her very much! Alain on the other hand called us out of the clear blue the other day and says he doesn’t want lessons anymore; I think that he must have come across some anti material but we are not certain at this point, we will go by this week and see what happened. Please pray for us and our next appointment with him!

On a better note this week we were helping a member move and a family friend as well as an inactive member of the family were there and we built a good friendship and had a nice time working and talking with each other, both came to church yesterday! The family friend wants to start taking the lessons! At one point during the service he told me of the spirit that he felt and how wonderful it was, it was a great service! Further, another inactive member of the Lemon family came to church yesterday and would like us to come by his place this coming week! Exciting stuff! I know this is the Lord’s work and that He is busy directing us and those around us! I am so very grateful for the gospel and for the new perspective it gives us!

This week I got my new comp Elder Byork.. Elder Byork is a great guy and has some great qualities! Anyhow, I love you lots and oh, before I go - mom you asked about the Easter package; I guess I’m a really sloppy eater because I have stains all over my ties and shirts lol, do you think you could send me 2 or 3 Tide To Go pens? That would be awesome! Oh and one last thing, I have an sd card ready to send you as soon as you send the last one back!

much love,

Ryan Leash
