crazy week. so crazy. so all the sad goodbyes were said in st die and i headed off to brussels on wednesday. i don't think i've ever been so excited to go to a new area before in my life. i guess you couldn't even call it a new area because i've already been there before. we got there and i must say that it started as soon as we got off the train. everyone needed metro passes so we rushed to get all that then we rushed to teach someone. basically we're the errand runners for everyone and honestly i love it. i love being so busy the whole day long. i wish i could live the rest of my life just going and doing. it's so much fun and it's so spiritual as well. we go from spiritually packed lesson to spiritually packed lesson and i love every second of it.
we see such wonderful things. one day we had planned to teach a less active member. when he showed up to the rdv he brought his son. his son actually isn't his son. his son is his friends son but his friends died in the war in rowanda. he brought him to us and told us that he wanted to find the right path and that he knows the church is the way for him. he is such a nice guy and i'm happy to teach him. it's cool because as a zone leader we see how things are going throughout the whole mission. today i experienced my first conference call and it's cool to see how all the things trickle down from the top. i can really say that our mission is in a state right now that it's never been before. things are really picking up and i give a lot of credit to president poznanski as well as the group of missionaries that have left or are about to leave. this group consists of elder foley, elder nielson, my companion right now and many others who are excellent. i really believe that with president poznanski's example that these missionaries helped changed the view of the mission and i'm so happy to have the chance to serve with another person from that group again. there's already been 2 missionaries from that group that have helped me a lot and i think elder adams will do the same thing.
as of right now i love life and i love the mission. maybe i could do this forever. i love being busy and always having things to do. if i did choose to do this forever they'd have to let me grow a mustache though. it's funny to find myself in the exact same spot i was a little more than a year ago and it's funny to see how much i've changed but also how much i've stayed the same.
till next week
