| Day trip to New York! Not really. Otherwise that would be some humongous toilet paper. |
 |
| These wood frame houses are pretty cool, classic France! |
 |
| First cathedral I saw in Poitiers. |
 |
| Just a gorgeous day in Poitiers! |
 |
| Hotêl de Ville on my last day |
So, now I've been in Charleroi for a little bit of time! But
sadly, I don't have too many stories to tell. Except that we had a
mini-missionary come stay with us for a few days this week!
 |
| Me, Vincent Thomas, and Elder Burgess |
Vincent Thomas was his name and he is from Nivelle, Belgium.
He is 17 and he wants to serve a mission in a little bit, so he came to check
out what it's like! It was a little bit of a challenge for me, because I had to
speak even more french than usual, but it was great and an awesome few days! We
did some finding, some teaching, went to meetings, and just had a blast doing
missionary work! I think he really enjoyed it and we all got along great! He
put up with my iffy french, so that was good haha and he understood my jokes,
so that was even better!
After he left us though, I got sick. My companion had been
sick, then a day or two after he got better, I caught the same thing, so we
weren't able to get a lot done this week. It was a bummer! But I'm better now,
don't you sweat it! But while being quarantined in the apartment, I took a
couple pictures of the view from our living room window.

| This is Charleroi! |
 |
| And it looks pretty at night too! haha |
I was better by Sunday, and I couldn't miss church either
way! They have their own church building here, a full blown chapel! It's really
nice too! They have quite a few members here, so it's a lot different than
Poitiers. But, the people here are super nice, so that's the same as Poitiers!
I met a lot of people! And then got asked if I could lead the music in
sacrament meeting because I had done it in an earlier class and they figured I
was a pro haha has anyone else noticed that I seem to be doing a lot of musical
stuff on my mission? That wasn't really my thing before haha except for playing
the guitar a little bit, but I don't really do that anymore haha. But yeah,
church was great, and then we went and visited a lot of less active members and
it was awesome! Everyone is super nice here and I love it!
That's all I have for this week, I know it's pretty lame! I
promise I'll have better stories to tell next week! I have a few from this
week, but they're pretty weird haha. Next week I'll have some really good ones!
Keep smiling and keep being awesome! I'm praying for all of
you! Yes, even YOU.
à la prochaine!
Elder Daniel Anderson
