Sounds like you guys all had a fun week! I cannot believe it is December already! My goodness.  This week was actually really great.  I'm excited to talk to you all in a few weeks, that should be fun.  We had a couple awesome miracles this week. We will be working more in Brugge due to the work of an awesome ward missionary leader there. That mission leader goes tracting by himself every Saturday. He's done that for the past ten years. Due to his diligence, 3 people have been baptized and he's found us a new family to teach! Talk about magnifying a calling!  Also a random family walked into church this past week and we'll be meeting with them on Saturday.  We spent last evening with Familie G and it was awesome! Sinter Klaas left some gifts at their home for us as well :). We were so happy!   The Gent branch is wonderful. It's about 45 active members and they are all so willing to help us out with anything.  I hope they like me haha, I love them all so much. I love serving here in Gent. Gent is such a beautiful city.  Brugge gets a lot of attention and a lot of tourism for their history. Gent is the same way but life is still normal here and not as much tourism. People live day to day in this awesome city of cobblestone, castles, cathedrals. I love it.  It's about time for me to get off. Oh! Have a great week!

P.S. The birthday card did come the packages haven't. Thanks so much!

Love, Elder Schulte
