Week 13 (Charleroi)

Transfer weeks are weird. But they're probably worse when you or your companion leaves.

On Wednesday, Elder Blake and Elder Johnson left early in the morning to go do the companion transfer, so Elder Mendoza and I woke up alone. That night Elder Johnson came back with his new companion, Elder Labbé. He's from Québec, so we now have a native French speaker in the apartment which is cool!

We also had a ward BBQ on Saturday, so that was delicious! A bunch of people from both Charleroi wards were there, as well as some of our amis! The only issue was that the next day was Fast Sunday, so it was a little more difficult than usual. But we went home with leftovers, so it was totally worth it! It was also good for our amis to be able to mingle with the ward and make some friends.

Today we were finally able to meet with Freddie, who we met early last transfer. We haven't seen him since because he's been busy with work or something, but today he told us that because he couldn't come to church, he watched this broadcast of a sacrament meeting instead. He's also read a bunch from the Book of Mormon and he's super interested in the gospel. He's the first person I've met on my mission who's this ... comment dit-on ... excited about the gospel. It's inspiring. And I'm excited to keep helping him come into Christ!

À tantôt!

They desperately needed more shelf space so assembled new shelves.

Their table (brown one in the back) was broken, so they finally assembled the new one.
