Namur
This week was a ton of fun! So on Monday we started teaching another family they are called the Mattys family! They are super nice! They have a son with autism and he is so funny! I understand like every 5 words he says! We are teaching 7 separate families right now! We have a million Amis it's hard, but awesome at the same time! On Tuesday day we had District Meeting in a small town called Namur. We had to make the "main meal"... and.. we totally forgot haha. So we stopped at a gas station on the way there and bought chicken noodle soup and just microwaved it! It worked so we didn't even care. Our District is pretty boring haha. We played basketball after it was pretty fun/funny. And Namur is a super cool city. We had to wait for our train to come so we got to go shopping for a little bit! They have a million stores there. It's a lot nicer than here. After that we taught a lesson to a family we reactivated. Their last name is Bouvais. They are super cool! They come from Mexico originally and they made us super good Mexican food! We talked about prayer being like a phone call. We did an example Guymon was himself and I pretended to be God. They thought it was super funny. And there was a Tahitian staying in our apartment on a exchange. He is so tight his name is Elder Taroura. Wednesday I think I explained this a little bit last time but we are going around neighborhoods and putting letters in peoples mail boxes. So we did that in the morning. It's interesting.. Then I convinced Elder Guymon that the Megladon (giant shark) is real. He never wants to go into the water again. Then we went porting. Everyone was mad that we put stuff in their mailbox haha. Then we ate at a members house. Their names is Vanhulst they are really nice to us! They made suuuuper good food! I think it was cheesy potatoes.. which are like my favorite! On Thursday our DL pulled a fast one and was like "we need to do exchanges right now so get on the next train and Elder Beck is going to Namur.." So.. I went on a exchange to Namur. It was interesting if you want more details ask. When I got to Namur there was a go cart race going on and people were dressed like Mario Characters and racing throughout the city it was so tight! We taught a guy and he was just suuuper hammered. The Namur apartment is super cool with a view of the whole city! Then we went porting and we knocked on a Jehovah witness door. And he tried telling me that the Book of Mormon talks about Jehovah. Then I said "well if the Book of Mormon is true then that means Joseph Smith was a true prophet of God" and he was just stunned. And instead of bashing with us he just said come back next week. haha. Im glad I don't have to go over there again because he seemed crazy. Friday I went straight home to good ol Charleroi. We did weekly planning. Got bailed on. Cooked dinner. Elder Guymon ate raw chicken and got sick haha. So we stayed home all night.. Pretty lame. Saturday we get a call from Patrick at 6 am saying "we need you at the church to do a service project." so we headed over there and cleaned the church for like 3hrs and it was pretty cool. Our bishop pretended to be Darth Maul with a broom stick it was probably the funniest thing I have ever seen. And I got it on video. can't send it though sorry. Then we taught the Mattys family again! They really like having us over! Then we went porting for a little while and then met up with the other Elders and went porting for like another hour it was pretty fun! Sunday was daylight savings and we accidentally set the clock the opposite way haha. But luckily Elder Guymons spider senses went off and we woke everyone up on time and we all got to church on time! We had 4 Amis at church! And 3 less active families again! But we had to go porting for a long time yesterday! Like 6hrs of porting it was fooorever! My feet still kill haha. Today we got sushi for lunch! It was sooo good! And that's my week for ya! I hope you guys have a good one! Do something funny for April Fools and send it to me! Love you guys!!!!
