I'm not gonna lie, all last night there was somebody screaming right outside our apartment. So I am super tired, but I'm gonna hit you guys with what I did this week!

It was a super good week. Found a good amount of friends. We had 6 people come to church, which was awesome. We found out that a missionary is coming home who lives in our Charleroi ward. So we're super excited about him, hopefully he'll help us out with all these friends we have to teach now. 

Yesterday night was fun. We had a pizza party with a member and 2 of our friends and it was a great time. My companion fell down trying to sit in his chair which was super funny for us all. Then during the pizza party, we had a very good discussion about the temple. 

Yesterday was crazy. We missed our bus then we tried to hit a metro, but that got canceled on us. So we decided to walk.Church started in 10 minutes and we were 40 minutes away. I was feeling really down because we were gonna be late. But then I said a quick little prayer. Our friend Ignas pulled around the curb and offered us a ride to church! It was an absolute miracle and an answer to my prayer. 

There's one thing this week has taught me, is that God is absolutely a God of miracles and that he has not stopped since the time of Nephi or of Moses or Abraham or of Jacob or of Isaac. We also ate really good food this week. It was amazing. That's one thing that Belgium seems to do to you a lot of chocolate and a lot of carbs. But on the bright side, today is zone P Day, so we are all going to Brussels to play volleyball, basketball and some pickleball so I am very excited.

One of my favorite scriptures makes me think about the goodness of God. I love sharing this especially during lessons with during a street contact

2 Nephi 27 23 For behold, I am God; and I am a God of miracles; and I will show unto the world that I am the same yesterday, today, and forever; and I work not among the children of men save it be according to their faith.

Au revoir,

 February 3, 2025 This week we had Transfer News, I will be staying in Les Lilas and my Comp Elder Tupana will be leaving (RIP Mon Tahitian!). What I didn't expect this transfer was to be training a brand new Elder! I have no idea what his name is but I can't wait! We pick them up on Thursday.  Other than that we have been really focusing on members this last week sending them spiritual thoughts. Our plan this next week is to bring them a bunch of cookies !!!! Our members here are actually super powerful. Every single one of them has a super strong testimony. Members are super important for this work! It's your testimony that inspires lasting change in the hearts of the people we teach. That's one thing I personally learned this week as we had 5 member lessons where you could tell the spirit was there.  I also had an amazing experience on the metro where I started talking to this one man who ended up telling me he was Muslim. He said that he respects everyone's beli...

 Well I'm officially 20 today! Crazy how fast time passes. I've been alive for 20 years and I can confidently say I've learned more about myself in the last year than I did the other 19. If there's one thing I know it's that you have a Heavenly father and he loves you.  My week was good.This area is much different than Les Lilas where I was before here. There is a lot of retirees and cars, so the people we stop normally don't want to listen, so we adjusted and just started doing door to door alot of it. The ward here is awesome! Yesterday after church we went to the Bourroux's house. They're so cool. Their son is going on a mission here soon and the kids are crazy fun. They have two girls who are just bursting with energy so we built a magnetic house with them. Then Sunday night we get a call from our member Pascal who owns a pizza place. (If anybody comes to Saint Quentin, Bonjourno Pizza is the place to be!) Pascal tells us that he has lasagna for us s...

February 17, 2025 Bonjour a tous! Hello everyone I made it through another week of awesome missionary work! I'll run you through the highlights of the week. So many elect people!  On Thursday I met this super elect person on the metro. We just started talking and he was super interested. He was born into a Christian household but doesn't go to church often. Loves the bible too! I felt prompted on the metro to share with him Amos 3: 7 which is - Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets. - Then I told him that God is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow and that he gave us prophets in every period of time. It was super cool to see a light go off in his brain. Then I bore a quick testimony about our Prophet and the Book of Mormon. Truly one of the most spiritually enriching and faith building experiences I've had on my mission.  One funny thing that happened to us is French class with Alex. We have an amazing member in o...
