Coming and Going

Two new senior couples arrived in the mission on Tuesday, along with an Peruvian elder. Also, two sister missionaries left that morning. One of the senior couples had previously lived here when his father was mission president, he then later served his own mission here and then as mission president himself. It's quite an interesting story. We now have quite a few senior couples in the mission, and the numbers will presumably stay the same until next summer. 

There was another Brussels trip on Thursday and we took down 8 people for various legal things. It was very fun, and we saw the beginnings of the Christmas market and tree in the centre of the city. For the rest, the trip went smoothly and there were no riots, haha.

Our best investigator, from Burundi, will be baptised next saturday, so that will be awesome. He is soooo funny, and just cracks jokes so much. This is his third time being taught by the missionaries and I really hope for his sake that this time is the right time. He would really benefit from church. (Though to be fair, so would most people, haha).

Last night, we played Munchkin with the APs again, and today, we are going to Amsterdam for the turkey bowl (an annual event in the mission where the zones all assemble, one or two together, and play American Football). 

It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves.
