We worked pretty hard doing those flyers this week... and still nothing, but it was a REALLY fast week.
On Monday night, G______ cut our hair (the girl from the family just reactivated...) it was a pretty good cut but she used scissors everywhere... not a real problem, but I'll probably need to get another pretty soon.
On Tuesday, we went to Namur for district meeting. Namur is a super cool city. There's a big pretty river and a huge citadel on top of a hill in the middle of town, but district meeting is pretty lame. No one in the district is that friendly or interested in talking. sooooooo district meetings are kinda a drag.
There was an old RM visiting here this week so we saw him a couple times. He was hanging out with Patrick. He made me really want to get an iphone when I get home. He was a super geek and admits it. Elder B___ and him talked about zombie movies for forever.
We visited a TON of less active members this week and 2 of the families came. It was legendary! I dont want to brag but Elder B___ and I should get a gold medal from all the stuff we've done this transfer.
A member in France called us and asked us to help her old nonmember parents in the garden... and we couldn't get ahold of them for a couple days.. and then she called us again and said "actually, you cant help them anymore cuz my dad got a hemorrhoid" so she gave us all the information to go give him a blessing. SUPER NICE old guy. I really like him. He's having surgery today and we're going to go visit him later in the week.
On Saturday, we visited a family that met the missionaries a billion years ago. Back in the day just the mom was interested and the dad said no. When I first got here we passed by and they were super happy to listen. The dad read a book about God and it talked about the Melchezidek priesthood. It said, "if you ever meet people who hold it they will be the "happiest and most powerful people in the world". The first time we went, we blessed their home because they were fighting a lot... the second time (Saturday) we gave his wife a blessing. He FREAKED out when he noticed that we used the Melchezidek priesthood. He said back in the day, when the missionaries came, his ears and spirit were closed... but now they're open.
The kid that we are teaching said that he wants to get baptized but he doesn't want a ceremony... he just wants it to be his dad and the missionaries and his brother and the bishop. So we'll do that for sure. His family and the other family I just talked about both came to the baptism Saturday night. The other ward had a baptism on Saturday night. They liked it.
Then on Saturday after the baptism, we went to the B______(the girl who cut our hair)'s house for a FHE. It was SOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH FUN. I love their family so much. We laughed sooo many times. On Sunday G______ bore her testimony about coming back to church and how much we (the missionaries) helped her. It pretty much made my mission. She cried a lot... luckily, I had tissues.
I'm sad that Elder B___ is leaving. I really liked him! but im getting a new comp named Elder S______. He's going to kill me. (That just means that he will be William's last companion...in this mission, maybe all missions, a missionary in their last transfer is a "dying" missionary.)
It's weird that I'm in my last transfer.
What do you mean everyone is excited to have me back? Yeah, I'll give a talk on June 8th. What's the topic?
I'm giving a talk next week. I'm not that excited about it. It's Easter Sunday so I want it to be good... you know?
well....
