How is everyone doing!? Mom i am so thankful that you had such a good birthday! I am trying to send you something but it is taking longer than expected! however i'll try to get it to you soon! Anyway everything here is going super good! This week we had another jam packed week that was topped off with a baptism! So so good. The service was hectic and a little bit everywhere but at the same time he got baptized and everything was really good! His name is Lassissi and he was just so excited to be baptized.
This week we were in France as well. I went on an exchange with one of the Assistants Wednesday in Versailles, Thursday we had a leadership training in Paris and then that night and part of Friday i was able to go and see my son in Compiègne because i had to get my french legality! Super cool huh? So we go to go see them and one of the coolest things was that when i was in Compiègne i saw some of the people that i wasn't able to see before I left! I was really lucky. So yeah this week was just very busy with lots of travel but if was a great week. It ended off as i said with the baptism of Lassissi Kamel. He has been taught since the beginning of the transfer and progressed really well. He comes from Benin in Africa and was a referral from his brother in Sweden who is a recent convert. So yeah all is going really well and i loving Brussels so so so so so much! It is wonderful here. The work is good and as i have always said Elder Gubbay is just a beast! Such a good example. Voila quoi!
I am so happy to see that Ryan is out of the hospital and is functioning for lack of a better word so well. He really is a miracle. It is crazy that he gets a second chance at life honestly. We have been praying so much for him and i will send him a nice little letter asap! I love you all so much. Connor, good luck with your tryouts! I'll be praying for you my buddy! Hunter invite erica to the house to have a gospel talk with the missionaries! Say "hey erica my family is inviting the missionaries from the church over to the house (this night) to talk about the church and Jesus and you should totally come over for it!" and then she'll say "ok sure" and then you'll say "cool" and then she'll be baptized! HAHAHA Carson don't wear the Dora hat...... I love you all so much and again mom happy birthday! I love you so much! TTYL
Love, Elder Hoopes
