Well this week was definitely
an adjustment...
Belgium is weird!!!
haha :)
So Monday we
were invited to eat lunch with the N'Tamag family. She made this HUGE Haitian
meal, and boy was it good! Then we went and taught Lucien with a member. He had
read and was really interested in Joseph Smith's story... I hope things go well
with him.
Tuesday we were
also invited to eat for lunch and dinner. The members in Evry love me so much
haha :) We also went and said goodbye to Eddine and Samra. She is so ready for
the gospel!!! I'm still a little sad I'll miss her baptism, but I'm so happy
that it's happening!
Wednesday: After
almost 4 hours of hot, standing room only trains I arrived in Namur... my dying
ville. Elder Anderson is from Cinncinati, Ohio and like I said before just got
finished being trained. Namur is a TINY town compared to Evry and the
transportation sucks... It kind of reminds me of Dunkerque haha but Namur is
prettier. The apartment is gigantic though, so that's pretty nice. For the
moment, we only have two amis, Romuald and his 9 year old son Dillon. So these
last two weeks have been filled with a ton of contacting. We have a couple new
potentials now so we'll see this week what becomes of them.
We had a ward party
the Saturday I got here. There weren't a ton of people, but our amis
came and we had a pretty good time.
Right now the Euro Cup
is going on and Belgian fans are nuts!!!! The town has set up a giant screen
and Fan Zone type thing right next to our apartment....So every time Belgium
plays we don't sleep... Luckily they just got eliminated so we'll be able to
sleep haha ;)
So when I got here I
heard that our Bishop and Ward Mission leader were both pretty dead and didn't
really do anything to help us out. Well that doesn't fly with me! So we get
here and we have already had a meeting with the bishop to come up with a ward
mission plan, our WML has helped us teach like 4 lessons, and is going nuts
sharing the gospel, and everything is looking up. All they needed was a little
kick and now they are pumped :)
One day we helped two
members move. They were both getting furniture from the same person, so they
rented a moving truck and called the missionaries haha :) We were helping from 7:30
to 2:00...... but it was fun! I got to know the members better and we got a
couch and two nice chairs out of it (one of the members were getting rid of
them to fit the new couch so they gave them to us!).
Another day we went
out porting in a town called Dinant about 40 minutes away and when we get there
we find out that it's the birthplace of Alfred Sax (inventor of the saxophone)
I know what we're doing next P-Day!! ;)
I'll be sending some
pictures of Samra's Baptism that Elder Tarbet sent me. I'm so proud of them!!
Love you all!
