Well, another week has gone and I've been all over the place. I was in Amsterdam for a meeting with the new mission president and then I was in Brussels for another meeting with him and then this morning I was in Arnhem looking for a run-away missionary who ran away last night.
We have been soooo busy, plus we have a baptism on Saturday!! It is all going by so fast and I've never felt better. I'm loving it.
I love our new mission president and his wife. They are really cool. I was in the kitchen for a long time cooking with Sister Brubaker and now we're good friends and I've had a ton of conversations with President Brubaker. They are wonderful people and it is going to be a good 4-1/2 months.
I am excited for these next few months. I've never been happier or more focused on what is important in my whole life. I continue to have huge moments of realization where I change immensely. I've a very different person now, I'm still the same Sean, but now I'm version 3.0 because I have figured out how to improve myself and get rid of the bad habits.
I love this work and I love this gospel

July 6, 2009
So, the computers were messed up last week and I couldn't email...sorry.
BUT, the last two weeks have gone by really, really fast and yesterday was my five month left mark. It goes by so fast.
Yesterday at church I had a ten year-old girl ask me if I would kiss her...it was really funny. Elder Shumway and I have all the girls in the ward to choose from...they're also all under the age of 16 except one. They listen to us...it's really good and then their parents like us more and then we get more dinner appointments and then everybody is happy.
We baptized the Aalderinks last week. I baptized Gerard and Elder Shumway baptized Hilda. I confirmed Jeanine in sacrament meeting. I've now had 17 baptisms on my mission...who would have thought 19 months ago that I would have had more than one! I still have five more months to go! I got a phone yesterday that a man I found and taught in Den Haag just got baptized. It is going really good. We have another baptism scheduled for the 18th with a young man from China named Jeremy Zheng.
I have talked to the new mission president a few times and we are going to Amsterdam to meet him and his wife tomorrow and then on Thursday we're headed for Brussels for Zone Leader council...it is going to be a crazy week.
Well, I'm excited for the next five months and I'll not be coming home sooner or later than that. I've been advised to start thinking and making plans for what I'm going to do when I get home. So, I need to know when school starts at BYU in January.
