Week one in Fance, Belgium

ok well this is on a french keyboard and i really don't want to try to figure anything out so the grammar will be terrible. ok so my first day in paris was a little overwhelming. they hand us boms and tell us to hand them out on the metro. me and elder barr successfully tag teamed a lady and gave her a pamphlet. we are stellar. that day went by super fast and ended with an american burger. the burger wasnt so american the bum was like a crouton, like the things on salad i cant spell of do parenthesis. we woke up the next morning and took a tram into paris. after seeing notre dame, i hope my mother puts pictures up it was pretty stellar, we got to meet our new trainers. my trainer's name is elder thomas and he is such a sweet guy. i'm very thankful to have him!

i took a train into belgium, im serving in brussels in case you were wonder. Brussels is the capital of Belgium. The first day we went contacting and had no success whatsover. I'm definitely fluent when it comes to being rejected. The days went by and we really didn't have much sucess. We got stood up by all our all appointments until we met with Nadia. She is an African woman. the lesson went very well and we taught about the gospel of christ. the gospel of christ is faith, repentance, baptism, receiving the holy ghost, and enduring to the end. Let's just say i endured to the end with this lesson and asked her to be baptised at the end. You may think it was just blue fire, they call greenies blues in the Paris mission, but no it was real. She accepted the baptismal invite and we told her we would pray about a date. Mission work is easy right? ha ha. right after that i was on cloud 9 and we talked to an African guy named goody. he actually reminded me a lot of dalton goody.

Our other golden investigator is named ludovic. He is super interested and is friends with a member named samuel. we are going to teach him tomorrow and have a baptismal date that we will run by him which is the 24th of november. he has already read all of first nephi and he is apparently posting a ton of stuff on his facebook from general conference. Can you say golden? I think we will teach him the restoration tomorrow and then i will once again pop the baptismal question. keep tuned for the results in the next e mail

Brussels is amazing. of course it is super filthy and I would never raise a family here, but it is so sweet. there is history, as well as fashion, everywhere. oops mom i just bought another pair of shoes. dont worry they are very fashionable you would be proud. my companion is very cool but i do miss elder barr, wilson, and the others too mostly them, but i miss the soeurs so much as well. it is just me and thomas in the apartment but thats ok we are good friends already. we had our first burrito fete on sunday. burrito fete is when you make burritos because we all get pretty hungry for that good ole mexican cuisine. you will see everything in the pictures. i will explain everything more then. oh ya GO GIANTS!!!!

Love you,

Love elder oliverson
