This Sunday, we sat with a friend of the Howells and Markhams, during the third hour, and answered his questions and explained about the organisational structure of the church and about the prophet and the origin of the Book of Mormon. It was not standard PMG lesson, but we covered a bunch of ground and he expressed interest in having the Book of Mormon and coming back to church and even potentially following the lessons. It was great: we now have a potential investigator. For us, any kind of investigator is good news, haha.
It was weird not having President Robinson in the office (he was absent because some of his family is visiting the Netherlands) on Monday. We did not have the usual correlation meeting, which was also weird. We did have a yummy soup, courtesy of Sister Winmill, so that was something normal. I received replies to the two e-mails I sent on Saturday to missionaries: from Elder Dooreman and from Sister Croese. It is always interesting to hear from other missions around the world. In the evening, the four of us (Elder Loorbach was here again) went to the Howells and ate mac & cheese with them and the Markhams and then spoke about eternal marriage and about families. It went really well and it seems that we all agree that marriage is a good idea ;) haha
District meeting was fun on Tuesday; I really felt the spirit during the roleplay part, when I was "teaching" elder Cooper about our Heavenly Father. It was awesome. We also learnt/talked about obedience and about using the Holy Ghost to help people put off the natural man and come closer to Christ. After the meeting, we ate pancakes and hashbrowns (awesome!). When we got back to the office, we checked the mail and found a big envelope for me from Judith, containing a lengthy letter and stamps! :D (She is so awesome)
Wednesday and Thursday were not so busy, except for trying to figure out the best way to get to Brussels by train, on Friday and also how to order the tickets for everyone. I can't wait to take the train again after so long. Just too bad the Thalys is so expensive...
On Friday, we took the train to Brussels, leaving here at 8:20. We picked up 3 missionaries on the way, at Rotterdam-Centraal, Roosendaal and Antwerpen Centraal (elders Moomey, Bourne and Robinson). It was weird to see elder Bourne again, seeing as he used to live in Antwerpen a few years ago, but he's cool. We met elder and sister Romig in Brussels and had them activate their residency permits and then we exchanged driver's licenses. After that, we went back to the centre to look for food. I bought a postcard in a book shop, with the three other elders, while my companions went to buy a waffle. On the way back to the train station, we saw a guy with dreadlocks getting chased down the street by two policemen, the first of whom was brandishing a night-stick. They were going fast: I guess the first guy really did not want to get arrested. A police car followed in hot pursuit, with its sirens blaring. We could still hear sirens as we walked into the station. That was pretty weird.
This morning, we played football in Wassenaar, and that was fun.
No comment, haha
What happens every Brussels trip? People fall asleep (or pretend to at least)
More sleeping
Elders Robinson and Moomey
