Elder Noah Morey: It's all about the WORK!!!

GoedeMorgen familie en vrienden! I had a great and of course another wet week! It does nothing but rain here in the fall and in the winter! but I have to get use to it! Haha I have some great stories of some crazy things! The work has been very slow this week but, it was a lot better than last week! we found some potential investigators and 2 new investigators! there names are Gabby(18) and Jason(17)! they are a couple in College that hang out with a kid name Jordan in our ward that is going to webster university here in Leiden! They came to church and felt good about it, but we need to start teaching them this upcoming week! Hopefully that goes well!!

This week Elder Woltjen and I are teaching this girl named Tessa, she is dating this guy named John and he is a member in our ward. He fell away for a little while and got into some things that he regrets, but we are helping both of them. Tessa is going to be baptized!! Her and John just have to get married first! SO that is awesome!! And we have to help them quit smoking! We are almost there!
Then there is FRITS! He has been an investigator in the church for 3 years and his next step is baptism, he just has some things that he is struggling with in his life, like finding work and trying to have him and his girlfriend to get married! so he said he would be baptized when his life isn't to chaotic, but we know he needs to take this next step of faith! So we are working with Frits!

One of the potentials we found this week was some dude that we found near our apartment! I knocked on this door and a guy answered the door.. he was wearing a white shirt with red underwear on, smoking a cigar! it was flippin hilarious! I asked him if he was religious,( bent u geloofig) and he just looked at me and took a puff of his cigar and looked at me and I just laughed and said ' SO nee ja?' but we talked to him and got his information and he had a little interest so we will see how that turns out! haha!!

I am going to Belgium this Friday!!! going to Brussels for a trip to get our residency there if we ever end up serving there! I am so excited!! I will take a lot of pictures!! everyone says its a boring trip because its just all legality stuff and we don't get to see the city or travel around, but we are going in a couple weeks to get shown around and try real Belgium chocolate and waffles!!

I love being able to serve in Leiden! I truly have seen why I have been called here! I love the Ward here! I am building so many relationships with all of them! they are so loving and have an amazing spirit! I learn so much from them language and Spiritual wise! I am grateful for all the blessings that I receive from my Heavenly Father! I feel those blessings each and every day! I love studying from the Scriptures and from Preach my Gospel! I learn something new every time I read and study them! I know that this Gospel is great blessing in our lives! and that our Heavenly Father guides us everyday! and that he loves each and everyone of us! I love this work and know that it is truly helping me and those around me! This Gospel is true!! thanks for all your support and prayers for me!! Talk to you all soon! Tot ziens!! Love you all!!
