Cherie's Letter

Hello family!
Well, Belgium is quite the place- a lot dirtier than the Netherlands, but such a wonderful place! I am falling in love with it already. That is so neat that I have an ancestor from this city. It is neat to think that I have some roots here- it is becoming such a part of me here on my mission.

Still no word from my new little greenie- I guess we'll just have to be patient and see when she comes. Until then, Zr Bennett and I are having a BLAST serving together again. It’s really a lot of fun serving together here in the field. We are life-long friends, and are already planning trips to see each other after the mission (on p-day only, of course!).

The Belgian chocolate is DELICIOUS!!! I am tempted to eat WAY too much whenever I have the chance. I'll be sure to bring lots home to share :) In many ways Zr Bennett has been very good for me- she has reminded me of the reality of going home and that I should probably start planning some things- yikes!

Anyways, we are teaching the cutest little Flemish girl, Heidi, who has committed to being baptized, and we are going to teach here mom this week as well!!! The work goes forward in the most spectacular way! I am now able to understand Flemish, which helps a lot- French, however, is another story :) I hear it a lot, but speaking is just not a reality.

Oh and here's my address-
Alfons Schneiderlaan 172
Bus 2
2100 Deurne
Belgium

I love you all soooo much!
Oh, and you can e-mail me pictures now.
Liefs,
Zuster Gulliver
