This week we had two finding days one for Nivelles and one for Charleroi. Then we ended up NOT having exchanges so we found a lot on Friday as well :') Two things that President Sorensen wants us doing is talking to 20 people each day and using the Book of Mormon when contacting. You would think these things are things we would already be doing, and we do usually try to talk to everyone, but as we've been keeping track of how many solid conversations we have had and introduced the Book of Mormon in every conversation, there has been a huge difference. Our conversations are longer, people understand more of who we are, and they are way more interested in our message.
One girl we talked to this week, Celina, was 17 and I gave her the Book of Mormon and asked her to read Moroni 10:3-5. She read it over and over and said "I feel the same good spirit as I do when I listen to really good music" and she accepted it and told us she would begin reading it, not just the introduction, but she would read the whole thing. People are cool.
Another guy we met, Victor, accepted the Book of Mormon as well and told us he was excited to share it with his family. He said his parents would be very interested and that he would begin reading it and call us with questions since he is too busy for a rendezvous right now. I mean I hope he does, bien sûre, but it's really just cool to see their initial reaction "oh I've heard of that..." to how they feel after they hold it in their hands and know what it actually is.
A lady we ported into saw it in our hands and asked about it. She is too busy, even at night before bed she said, to read it. So we are going to read it with her whenever we can go to Tubize. She will read in Italian, we will read in English, and we will discuss it in French. I'm excited. The Book of Mormon is so so powerful, wow!
Christiane is doing really well, she hasn't been able to come to church sadly, but our last rendezvous she really opened up to us. She shared her concerns and what she isn't so sure about, we just talked and after I asked "Do you want to get baptized?" Because it kind of felt like before she was just dragging it out, and she said "Oui, Bien Sûre!!" So that's where we are at, she will be getting baptized in August when the Desmedts get back from Vacance. 😊 She is also making us the Nivelles specialty tart this week and her son is going to play the piano for us, he is actually coming in the room while we are there, it's tres chouette.
We had a primary activity on Saturday, there were only five kids but it went so well! They wore their badges to church and tied their dad's ties and it was so stinking cute. We had them do a door approach too and it was hilarious.
I ate a lot of cereal this week. And me and Soeur McBride did a lot of weird things and laughed a lot so I think we killed it this week. Except when it was like 17h45 and she couldn't decide whether she should say Bonjour or Bonsoir so when they opened the door she said "Bonsœur" and therefore introduced us as nuns right at the get go. Hahaha.
My poptarts are gone but I'm having Mac and Cheese this week bud. See ya!
