Monday: during p day we went to the Atomium (I had no idea what that was until I came here to Belgium, apparently it's a big deal.) We went inside and that was kinda cool.
Elder wells started feeling just a little sick so we just chilled at the church. Elder Aburto from the Spanish equipe was sick all last week so I think elder wells caught that. By the time came around to proselyte he was feeling pretty bad and elder Aburto was still sick so the two of them went back to the apartment and elder Ciceneros and I did an exchange. Earlier that day I got a phone call from an unknown number, it was a guy asking if I could come pray with his wife who was mentally ill. So we stopped by the address he gave us and their neighbors let us into the building. When we got to her door and knocked she just started yelling at us through the door telling us to leave and threatening to call the police. We tried to reason with her but she just kept yelling so we just left and are going to have to pass by another day. We hopped on a tram to go to this less actives house that the Spanish equipes working with. He's in an old folks home and isn't able to get to church so we brought him the sacrament. On the tram ride over I met a lady that spoke Spanish but luckily I had elder Ciceneros with me so I just called him over and he was able to teach her. By the time we got home the two other elders were out! So we got to bed kinda early too.
Tuesday: Tuesday's are the day of district meeting and as well our "day of finding," something prez asked us to do every district meeting day. But since the two elders were still sick and were going to be staying home, we couldn't do the district meeting with just us and the soeurs so dm was cancelled. We still had finding day though. We basically spent the entire day contacting people in the street. There's a sister in the zone named soeur Royer, she lived in Metz when I was serving there and then got her mission call to st. George but because she didn't have a visa yet she went to liege in my zone as a missionary. She just barely got her visa last week so she came into Brussels solo today and elder Ciceneros and I got her a ticket to Paris and helped get on the train. So if you see her in the st. Temple visitors center, say hi for me.
Wednesday: elder Wells and Aburto were still sick so elder Ciceneros and I spent another day together. I didn't mind though cuz elder Ciceneros is an awesome dude! He is super funny and always happy! We stopped by dominos to order pizza for the zone conf. Next week and then passed by some peoples houses. No one was home but while talking with people on the way we met a super nice lady from Armenia named Zara. She didn't speak any French and only a bit of English but she loved it when elder Ciceneros said a few words in Armenian that he had learned a few days before. She was almost crying when we left her with a prayer, pretty sweet. We visited one of the Spanish equipes recent converts and his family, they're African and speak Portuguese, Spanish, and a bit of French. They spoke Spanish for a good part of it so I had no idea what was going on haha. We visited this other less active guy that someone from church asked us to visit. He's from Africa and was a doctor until he got in a car accident and lost his memory, right now he's doing a requalification thing. He was really nice and we're going to visit again next week.
Thursday: elder wells and Aburto were feeling well enough to go out today so we got back into our normal equipes. We had a rendez vous with one of our Amis named beaufils, he's from Cameroon and is pretty cool. We had a good rendez vous with him and then we got to see Sylvain. He's actually doing pretty good. Things are looking up for him.
Friday: we went out contacting in the morning. I met a really cool girl from Czech Republic, she was super nice and also almost started crying when we prayed. It's pretty cool the power a little prayer can bring! We visited this guy named Ayi, an African guy that recently started coming back to church, he is super cool and humble! Every time we go and see how things are going in the Book of Mormon he tells us how much he knows that it's true! A member who just barely got back from his mission named Jacob came with us. He served in Spain and has been helping us out a bunch lately, he's super cool! We went to a baptism at the church that evening and that was super fun as well
Saturday: we did some weekly planning in the morning and then went to this 18 year old African guys house named Emanuel. His mom is a member and he used to come to church when he was young but he never got baptized. We met him in a tram a couple of weeks ago and have been meeting with him regularly. He's a cool guy. We had another rendez vous with a recent convert that just moved here from nivelle but that ended up falling through. We got to visit a member family for a few minutes and then went to Kurt albacite's house for dinner.
Dimanche: it was stake conference! And elder kearon came! Beaufils came to church for the first time and liked it quite a bit, he said he's excited to come back again next week. After church we had to finish our weekly planning and do some other paperwork stuff and then went to this sisters house named soeur fujiko. She's from Japan and teaches cooking courses, the meal was pretty good 😋 Jacob came with us too!
I hope that was detailed enough to make up for no email last week 😊😁 stay sweet ✌🏼️
