Well, this week sure had its ups and downs! It was full of
excitement though! Excitement, nervousness, happiness, thankfulness, tons of
things!
This last week I said goodbye to my last companion, Elder
Burgess and that was pretty sad. We got to be really good friends! I was also
nervous about training, and now I'm amazed at how well it's going!

Last Tuesday we prepared the apartment all day (putting
together beds, dressers, desks, etc) because our apartment changed from being
for 2 people to being for 4. So, that wasn't a super eventful day, but Wednesday
sure was!
Wednesday I headed to Paris to pick up my new companion! In
Paris I got to see my trainer because it was actually the last day of his
mission. The day I started training! So that was pretty cool. Then I met Elder
Haskell and we headed off to Charleroi!

It was an interesting trip, because I was the only
missionary going back to Charleroi. All the other missionaries had never been
here before! So I was the group leader for 2 sister missionaries and 3 elders.
We made it here just fine, don't worry haha.
So, over the past few days we've been going to visit lots of
people, eat at their homes, share spiritual messages, and help people move
towards baptism! Doing missionary work! It's been great!

What else happened this week...well, while walking around in
the city we found this:

I also spoke in church yesterday, and that went well, and we
had a lot of people in our investigator and new convert class! That was
awesome!
I titled this post "Le don des langues" because it
means "the gift of tongues". Oh boy do I know that's real. When I
called home about a week ago, before even knowing that I would be training, my
Dad told me that when I train, I will really see the gift of tongues working in
me and that I would start learning the language a lot faster. Well, the next
day I found out that I was training and my Dad couldnt have been more right!
I've seen miracles with the language this week, and I know it's because the
Lord wants me to do His work and help the new missionary. I know that I'll keep
seeing those miracles too!
I hope you're all doing awesome and you're working hard at
whatever you're working on. Always remember that the Lord will help you along
the way!
Oh, and shout out to Spencer Riggs who got his mission call
to the Scottsdale Arizona mission! I'm so excited for you and proud of you man!
You'll love it!
à la prochaine mes amis!
Elder Daniel Anderson
