Transfers were really
exciting... Haha I was with a group of only elders for like 3 or so hours and
it was... Eye-opening. So glad I have a companion. Elders are great but
goodness they're weird.
It was hard to see Sister
Clement go. She has truly become one of my best friends and we ended up not
being able to really say goodbye to each other... it was probably for the best.
But I really miss her every so often. We made so many memories down here!
BUT. Sister Mizell and I
get along swimmingly. :) She's having a hard time with Flemish but it'll come.
It's weird to be the only one who knows what these people are saying sometimes.
I had forgotten that I'd had such a hard time with it! We've already been
teaching in unity which is something that I've struggled with in other
companionships and so I'm glad that we already flow so well with each
other!
It's so great to still be
here in Turnhout. This has truly become sacred ground to me. I'll be honest,
it's definitely been different without Sister Clement, but telling Sister
Mizell all about it has helped me to really see how much I love this place and
these people.
We're having "crunch
time" with Jb. this week as he is leaving for The Gambia on Saturday and
there are no missionaries or churches there for him to go to until he gets
back. It's kind of a scary feeling, but he's bringing his Book of Mormon with
him, as well as a second one to give away, because he wants to share it. :)
Having seen where he's come from... I'm just so happy thinking about the
changes that he's made. He's using the Atonement. He's really just inspiring. I
want to repent just like him! I want to be just as excited as he is and be able
to answer a resounding YES to Alma's questions of "Can ye feel so
now?"
A- S. has disappeared.
We're not sure what's going on with him but all we can do is pray and keep
trying to reach him... It's hard, knowing that he's had that confirmation that
it's all true, but is choosing not to do anything about it... Lots of praying.
We found a really cool
new investigator this week named Si. - he's Nigerian and he's SO prepared for
the gospel. We went for our first appointment (actually to reschedule because
we hadn't been able to find a joint teach) and ended up having a surprise
member present lesson because his uncle was there and he's a member in
Antwerpen! He has a solid testimony and he just seemed super happy that we were
there! We're really excited :)
Random stuff -
-Nl. got baptized in a
different church yesterday, as far as we last heard... How awkward is it going
to be when we re-explain priesthood power and tell her that she has to be
baptized again? Wahoooo. Haha.
-We taught a Word of
Wisdom lesson to Gt. (one of our Belgian investigators. She has a handicapped
son who we sing for every week. She's super sweet!) and found out that Sister
Clement and I definitely broke it at her house last week - she fed us a dessert
with Amarretto in it. Also awkward! Haha. I knew it tasted different...
SO MUCH LOVE. I miss you
all to the moon and back.
