Hark all ye Nations

We had a really great experience on Sunday, when we went to look up a potential investigator that two other elders had found. At first, she was unwilling to let us in, talking about the risks of letting three strangers into your house. So we said we would meet at church some other time, and then we returned to our car. As we were in the process of pulling out, we saw someone walking along the street and one of my companions joked that it was probably the potential. It was. She told us that she had felt like she needed to talk to us, so she left her house to go find us. We re-parked the car and walked with her to a bench and talked a bit. Shortly thereafter, she invited us in to her house and we taught her about the restoration of the church. She asked a lot of really good questions.

The rest of the week was pretty good, but we had fewer opportunities to teach than normal. But we did teach our baptismal date. The Christmas packages for the missionaries are slowly piling up in the office. We already have a dozen and three tables are almost covered. I cannot imagine how many there will be for 150 missionaries.

On Thursday, we took the train to Brussels again. This time, there was no protest/riot, so it was a lot calmer in Brussels. We took the missionaries to see the centre of the city and get some food before we had to go take care of legal stuff. It was a very fun trip, though we missed our train and had to wait around in Antwerpen Centraal for a bit, but I did not mind, haha.
