Hello, everybody!

I'm still here and I'm doing absolutely fantastic! I'm gonna run you through a quick week of missionary work in Brussels.

We started off our week on p-day, and we went to a car show that was super super lit, we got to see a lot of the new models of cars that haven't even been released yet. 

Tuesday we had a super lit exchange with Elder Van dam from Charleroi here in Brussels, we did some finding and some teaching and overall it was just an awesome day. 

The next day was Wednesday, and we went down to Brussels for our zone conference and we had an Area 70 there for our zone conference named Elder Mccloak, he is really cool. We learned a lot about listening to the voice of revelation and kind of learning about revelation, like kind of how that's a language that needs to be practiced and tested. 

The next day was mission leadership conference, which was super cool. We stayed in Paris overnight. And unfortunately, we ran out of mattresses, so I slept on a cushion which was okay, but I woke up a little sore. I was also sick with a cold the whole week so that was cooking me, but we battled through it. 

Then we came back in on Saturday. We had an exchange with the Spanish Elders and I was with Elder Rocha and I love him so much. He's actually awesome. He's brand new in the mission. It's his second transfer, but he's an absolute dog, he's so cool. We also play basketball with the members of our ward every Saturday. So it's really awesome that we have that opportunity to do so. 

Then Sunday hit, and the miracle happened. We had 9 of our friends come to church, and we missed out on a couple of our families. We had 2 miracles that came from Gray dots and street contacts. But our friends came through, and we had a really good Sunday. Our stake president gave an amazing talk about missionary work, and it was goated.

 June 23, 2025 Hot!!!  It was so hot here in Saint-Quentin this week. I've never eaten more popsicles than in the last week. We only had one fan that worked and it is a mini fan, so yeah. But the Lord's work didn't stop.  We did a ton of finding like normal, we also had an exchange which was awesome. We went to Lille and  did an exchange with our ZLs. I learned a ton up there to bring to Saint-Quentin. Also I don't know why but I seem to find and be companions with people from French Polynesia.  On Friday we crossed this family from new Caledonia and they are so cool. It was Elder Tuua and Tupana who initially talked to them. And then we were near the river when I saw them and we started talking about church and all it was a super awesome experience.  Sunday came around and one of our amazing members brought her friend with her to church! She is soo cool and we're excited to teach her it truly was a fun week.  We just went grocery shopping and bou...

 April 21, 2025 By far the craziest week of my mission!!  I'll just take you from Tuesday to Thursday  Tuesday I called the cops. It was late and we just got done with a lesson with one of our friends (who is a little crazy). So we get done with this lesson and all of the sudden I see this guy sitting on the church entrance right outside. His hands were on his head and there was some blood on his knuckles and he was telling us all these crazy things. Anyway, our friend looks at me and says "it's a demon", so she puts her hand on his head and repeats something in her native language (Dutch). In the end, we didn't know what to do so we just called the emergency line and had some police officers take him to a psychiatric hospital. So that was my Tuesday. Wednesday we got lost trying to get home, then on Thursday we went to Institute (which is like a class for all the young adults in the Paris area). This drunk guy walks in and has some problem with the seminary direc...

 September 8, 2025 Hello everyone. Hope your week has been good. I did a lot of things this week, starting out transfers happened. I am now with a new companion named Elder Jones. He is super cool and goofy. We're gonna have a lot of fun together. I can already tell.  And big news from my family, my little sister got her mission call to Mexico, Pachuca! Megan will be an amazing missionary. We went to transfers in Paris. It was fun to see all the other missionaries again! I got my tite de sejour, which means I'm now legal in France. And to cap it all off, we got to eat at 5 Guys sooooooo good! An old friend from the mission sent me a wedding invitation. He's trying to kill me. Charleroi has been awesome. There are so many people to find and teach. Just this last week we had the opportunity to put one of our friends on baptismal date. His name is Benjamin. The baptism is on the 11th of October and we're super excited. He is super cool. He came to church yesterday. He told...
