We found out the other day that Elder Dunn is headed to Paris! He'll be the new Paris Zone Leader there, and I'll be staying in Nivelles with a new companion, Elder Van Den Berghe.
We had our last few exchanges with Charleroi this week which were lots of fun. I was with Elder Darrington, then Elder Belka for his last exchange. We had a lot of rendez-vous and talked to lots of people. And it was great to learn from a missionary such as Elder Belka right before he headed home. You learn something from every person you serve with, but that day I remarked just how bold he was while we taught. That's something I'd love to imitate.
After church on Sunday we visited a member and her less active son and his family. They fed us an amazing lunch, then we showed a video about the voice of the Spirit. After talking about it, we proposed we come back next week to talk some more and answer some of their questions. They loved the idea! So we're looking forward to seeing them again and teaching them more about the gospel!
Passez une joyeuse nouvelle année!
