zone conference in Belgium
This week was really cool.
On Tuesday we had our zone conference, in Belgium! It was so awesome going back there again! Our zone conference was combined with 3 zones. Us, Lille and Brussels. Our training went really well. It was kinda stressful at first, but once we started it was all good. We had to wake up at 4 am to make our train! That was rough! After our training and eating was over we left to catch a train to Lille. It was a Thallys, they go like 200mph! It's super cool. We went on an exchange with the missionaries in Arras. So long story short the kid I was with left his tickets for the next train on our last train and we had to go and retrieve them. Elder Player and his comp didn't notice we left. They kept going WITH BOTH PHONES and the WRONG tickets... so we come and there is no sign of them. So I go looking everywhere for a phone and I can't find anyone. Finally I get ahold of one and they were on the train that's going to leave in 5 mintues and it's like a 10 mintute walk to the train station. We sprinted and missed it by like 5 seconds.. so here we are stuck in Lille with no way to get home. Long story short, after 3 hours or searching and a broken zone leader credit card we found some missionaries with a credit card that worked and they bought us tickets at 8pm to get home. We got home at like 10h15 without eating or anything. It was a looooong day to say the least. When we got home it was funny to see the other Elders waiting at the door because i had the keys to the apartment. #missionlife
Wednesday i finished my exchange with Elder Orton. We taught our ami named Natan, he is super cool. Then we taught a lady named Christelle we invited her to get baptized for the 3rd time and she says she still isn't ready so we are putting her on hold for a while.
Thursday was super fun a recent convert from the ward in Rennes moved to Amiens for her studies so we taught her with 2 youth in our ward who will be going on missions shortly, they are super cool. We made "Gospel Brownies" each ingredient was a diffrent part of the gospel it was pretty fun.
Friday nothing too big just teaching and Weekly Planing. Weeee.
Saturday we took down the wall paper and put up some new ones for this lady in our Branch who is moving to Paris. It was pretty hard because the only stuff she gave us too use was eating utensils... Then we went to the church and watched General Conference. Our ami Mathew came, he speaks english he is from Nigeria he wants to get baptized so we are working on that!
Sunday was Easter and an interesting one too. The satellite dish broke so we got see a solid 2hrs of conference total. When our amis came we had to explain to them that it wasn't working.. super fun. But we are going to watch GC later, but from what I saw, it was great!! Love you guys thanks for all your support and emails!
