This past week has gotten a lot better missionary work wise. We
went through our whole area book and found old investigators that would
be worth looking up, so now we have a fat stack of look-ups to do and
that should keep us pretty busy. We are also trying to focus on some of
the inactive members as well. We have a TON of inactive members that
live in our ward area, which is like half of Belgium. They are just as
important as the new investigators so we are going to try to look some
of them up this coming week.
On Wednesday, we had to travel up to the Netherlands so that I
could do some legality stuff. We were literally on trains from 8 in the
morning until 9 that night when we got back. It was a long freakin' day!
I get more tired after a long day of sitting on trains doing nothing
than a long day of biking and walking around.
You know how I am always complaining about the horrible smells
Belgium has? Well, this past week changed! I realized how much I love
being in Belgium. Picture this.... It was sunset, and we were riding our
bikes through the centrum of the city on the cobblestone roads with all
of the cool European buildings, and the smell of waffles in the air. Yes, you could literally smell waffles just riding around that part of
the city. I could definitely get used to that. And folks, THAT is how you
Belgium!
Today we had our Zone P day in Antwerpen and we trained for the
upcoming Turkey Bowl. We balled hard! Our zone is gonna win.... Not a doubt in my mind!
So, haircuts here are ridiculously expensive. Like 40 bucks! Elder Cockbain has never cut hair and I figured I would save myself
some money and do it myself! How hard could it be? It was all going
swell until I needed Elder Cockbain's help to finish it off. He was
literally cutting my hair for THREE seconds when I heard the clippers cut
a huge chunk of hair and he said, "Oh fetch!!!" Something nobody
getting their hair cut ever wants to hear. Haha. Basically to sum it up, I
have a huge bald spot on the side of my head. A pretty nasty battle
wound! Or maybe a racing stripe! It's bad! Like really bad, but I saved 40
bucks so, BOOM! (Photo above)
This transfer I have the sickest district ever! At our district
meeting on Tuesday, we had a blast with each other. We all get along
really well and always have a grand old time. Well, I don't have much time
left, so I gotta go! The church is true and God is your loving Heavenly Father!
Love you all,
-Elder Steenblik
