Hello, everyone, I hope you're doing great. 

We had a wild week including getting a new companion and he's so cool. His name is Elder Haubrick. We did a lot of different things this week. But the biggest thing is getting our friend ready for baptism this Saturday! We're really excited about him and his progression. 

In Brussels, right now we actually have 6 French elders, 4 Spanish missionaries and some Dutch missionaries as well, so there's a lot of missionaries in Brussels. It's a lot of fun to talk with them and see them all. One companionship has a new trainee who's from Quebec and has a wild accent, but I love it, he's super cool. 

We saw a cool miracle this week. The first person my companion stopped in Brussels was this amazing lady who accepted the invitation to come to church and she came! She immediately told us that here she felt the spirit and that it was something crazy. She also spent €100 to take a taxi to church, but she says she'll do it every week, if that's what it takes.  Tons of faith and a super cool miracle. 

One of our friends, his name is Jackson and he and his family just got here from Africa and they're going through a tough time, but he says he always has time for the Lord. When I talked with them this Sunday, it was an amazing experience. If you can keep them in your prayers that would be great, it's Jackson and Olga. 

Besides missionary work, I feel like It's just been the greatest experience of my life for the last 20 months. So sorry, if my emails are a little bit boring. Today's gonna be lit, though we're gonna just go play spike ball and pickleball at the church. Then, one other thing that's low-key wild is the Brussels metro has the greatest song selection of all time. So they just play music from the 2000's which are absolute bangers. 

Spiritual thought: 

Friday, we're going to have the opportunity to listen to Elder Caussé. I'm super excited, and this is the first talk he did as an apostle, and I really love it

 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...
