what a fast week here in brussels. we had our exchanges with the assistants on monday which went by super fast, mostly because they were really short. I will tell a little story from monday night. So i was with Elder Coffey who is an assistant and we were heading home from a different part of paris and we began to talk with a lady on a train. she was a scientologist but super open and really nice. our stop came and we both kind of panicked and just jumped off train without getting the ladies number. we were both pretty bummed but there was nothing we could do because the train was off. luckily we gave her a book of mormon so we weren't as ashamed in ourselves. we got out of the gare and elder coffey checked his pockets and realized that there wasn't a phone in any of his pockets. he ran back into the gare trying to find the phone and he didn't get it. i bet you can guess what happened next.. yes i called it from out international phone and the lady on the metro answered. we met her the next day and got the phone back. luckily the lord knows we're young and gave us another chance
the baptism of una was the next big ticket this week and it was super good. the ward came out and supported and una was loving every second of it. we had to do the act of baptizing him twice because the guy baptizing him forgot the lines but other than that everything went super smooth. it was cool because the person i trained (Elder Eldredge) actually found him. so basically it was like an alley oop. he throw the ball up and i dunked it. haha. but really it was cool because he came from strombeek and gave a talk and everyone was really supportive. things are really going so well in Brussels except it's getting to be really cold. i'm sure i probably whined about the heat and now i'm whining about the cold. i love the cold just not when it's rainy. the dry utah cold is certainly where it's at. well i guess till next week
