We had an exchange this week with the Zone Leaders, Elder Drumeller and Elder Fund! We got to go to Brussels for the day. I spent it with Elder Fund, but we all had a "mangez-vous" with a sister there, Sister Fujiko. She's from Japan and makes the best food. Elder Mendoza has been hyping it for weeks. I ate too much, my stomach hurt the rest of the day!
We also had Zone Conference on Tuesday, which meant the whole zone (all our missionaries in Belgium) traveled to Brussels for the day. All the elders came early to practice for a musical number we were singing. We had about an hour to practice, and it turned out reasonably well. Président Sorensen and others talked about lots of good stuff.
Président told a story about a Harvard professor who would give each of his potential students a dead fish. He told them to look. Then he left. Story goes that one student said he'd seen everything about that fish in 10 minutes. But he kept looking. He started to draw it. He stuck his finger in its mouth to feel its teeth. The more he looked, the more he found. It's pretty inspiring if you actually hear the whole story. Président finished and told us to "Behold your fish!" as he showed us the missionary library. The same principle applies to scriptures as it does to fish. The more we look, the more we learn, and that's why it's important to keep reading throughout our lives. There's always more to learn!
À tout à l'heure!
