Another Week down!!!


Hello Friends and Family!!
So fair warning this is a european keyboard so this may not be that long because I am typing like a snail. haha But we have had an amazing week here in Gent! I obviously LOVE Belgium sooo much!! The members here are seriously sooo great. We are fed every single night for the most part which means I am going to seriously to gain weight if I am not careful! haha I had my first Belgium waffle the other day and it was to die for!!! you guys are all missing out. along with the frites and the pastries :) sooo yummy! We also had some record breaking temperatures in Belgium this past week too. It was about 92 degrees farenheit zith 94percent humidity. We were seriously DYING.
The flemish is coming along really great actually. I am scared to go back to Holland and only hear dutch because now I am used to it and the softness of the language. we went on exchanges this past week so i was able to go to Antwerpen for an overnighter since we had zone training and it was sooo much fun!! funny story...so the sisters apartment that we stayed at gets super hot at night so we had to sleep with the windows open which just means more bugs. they dont believe in air conditioning too (god bless america) so that made it even better. i woke up the next morning and i literally had a bottem lip the size of asia!! it was like that scene off of hitch or something. haha i still cant figure out what bit me but it took like allll day for the swelling to go down.
we had a really cool experience while we were in Antwerpen as well. we met this young adult named jason and we went and started talking to him about the gospel; he had said he had been praying for someone to come intp his life that could tell him how to be happier (ding ding we have a winner haha) so of course we were excited. all of a sudden he says oh my goodness ive dreamt about you! and of course i was super shocked to hear that. i guess he had actually seen my face before in a dream. kinda cool and creepy i guess haha he is great though and we love to sit and teach him the lessons.
well i love you all sooo much and miss you every single day! i know this gospel is true because i see it change peoples lives every single day! im so glad i have the oppurtunity to be a missionary! ik houd van jullie heel veel!!!
love, zuster brophy
