The Stairs of Liege

Bonjour from Liege!

On Monday and Tuesday, Elder Madsen and I said goodbye to all the cool members we met in Brussels. This includes the week prior where we had 8 dinner appointments in a row. We didn't have to buy groceries. Haha!

On Wednesday the trains decided to have a strike, so that was really inconvenient for transfer day. Madsen left at 7 am on
a bus to Paris. It was a lot harder than I thought it would be to say goodbye. He was super dope, and I am going to miss him. The rest of Wednesday was spent in the apartment telling the new elders about the
area of Brussels. At 7 pm I picked up my new companion, Elder Kendrick, and the next day we went to Liege.

Thursday we contacted a little bit and just got to know the sector a little better. Our sector is absolutely huge. It touches Luxembourg, Germany, and Holland. Elder Kendrick and I will be traveling a lot. On Friday, Elder Kendrick went to Paris for a meeting and I stayed in Brussels. We went to some of the monuments and then met with a less active.

On Saturday we spent time weekly and transfer planning and did a little contacting.

On Sunday we went to church which unfortunately starts at nine. The branch is super solid. There are 2 branches in Liege. After church we went to a members home for lunch. They live right near the point that connects Germany, Holland, and Belgium. It was super fun. That evening we went and gave someone a blessing. On the way back this man contacted us and he was great. He is approx. 25 years old and was preaching some things that directly correlate to what we Mormons
believe. We were like hey... we believe the exact same thing. So hopefully that goes somewhere. Monday we went to the only interesting site in Liege, stairs. There are 374 stairs that lead up to this super
cool view. I've attached some photos.

Overall Liege has been much cooler than I thought it would be. It is a college town so it is fairly hip.

We have two baptismal dates set up so that is also very encouraging. I love the mission and I have gained a much better relationship with God.

Love y'all and God Bless.
