This week is the beginning of a new transfer and...Soeur Hosking and I will continue to be companions, covering two sectors. Which is definitely NOT what we were expecting. We have spent the last two weeks having great adventures but preparing to go back to our own sectors at the end of it and receiving two more sisters here in Liege however because so many sisters left the mission they had to shut down a lot of sister equipes including one here in Liege. So Soeur Hosking and I will continue working together over two sectors, it is a little bit crazy but we will definitely always be busy!!

Working with Soeur Hosking is soo much fun! we see so many miracles together and we are always busting up laughing and singing songs. I adore her. This week we went with the Elders to Enza's house to give her a blessing and it was such  a wonderful experience!! Elder Van Tonder gave her a beautiful blessing promising healing and hope and lots of joy to come! He talked a lot about how loved she was by our Heavenly Father and that He was aware of her situation. After receiving the blessing she said she felt a lot of peace and so much better. by the end of our rdv she said that her symptoms felt a lot better as well. Priesthood power. After the Elders left we had a beautiful discussion about God's love for each of us and what a lifeline prayer is for us personally. Enza has never really prayed and she said she would like to hope God loves her and knows her but she wasnt sure. We promised that if she prayed and asked Heavenly Father would answer her prayer. So she did. Right there with us she said a heartfelt sincere prayer and the Spirit filled the room to the brim with love. It was amazing! I love Enza so much and I love being a missionary and having these wonderful miraculous experiences all the time! 

So on Sunday Soeur Hosking did splits so that we could each be in all the meetings of our own branches, it was a little stressful but I think it worked out all right. I was sitting in our amies sunday school class when there was a knock on the door and in walked Gwen and Williams with their baby!!!!!! I was so excited but no one else in the room recognized them so I was the only one grinning ear to ear and Frere Scheurch was looking at me wondering who it was haha it was the greatest present ever to see Gwen there. All the members were so kind and friendly and now they are in love with her adorable baby. Earlier this week we had gone to see Gwen and she told us she didnt have time to read the Book of Mormon so we shared a few of our favorite scriptures and our testimonies and at the end she said you know the baby sleeps more now and if you give me a copy in English maybe I'll understand better! So I promised to bring her a copy to church and when she came the first thing she said to me is where's the book? haha so I gave her an English copy and she said that she and Williams had already read the first chapter together!!!! oh my lanta I was sooo happy!!!!! I cant wait to see them this week, we are going to invite them to baptism! 

Last Friday we went to Brussels for my legality and it was a beautiful adventure!! The legality office was actually closed. So we have to go back another day but we decided to profit since we were already there and we had time before our train back. So we hopped on the metro to go to Grand Place where the Carpet of Flowers was but...we didnt know how to get there. So we leaned over to the woman sitting next to us and asked for directions and she offered to show us the way since she was headed to that part of town anyway! Then we had a wonderful discussion about what we're doing here in Belgium and she was floored that we left our families and studies for 18 months to move to a foreign country and to teach people about God. Then we walked all the way to Grand Place chatting along the way and then she bisoued us goodbye and I forgot to ask her name. But it was so fun to meet her and as she left she said she was absolutely delighted to have met us! I love being a missionary and living in Europe to meet all these amazing people and to have incredible experiences! I am so spoiled. On Friday I saw the biggest tourist attraction of the season in Belgium and then sat at a lovely little cafe to eat a delicous belgian waffle. Also I forgot to mention that we went into a Belgian chocolate shop and bought a box or two. seriously. So spoiled. It's Soeur Hosking's favorite phrase to say in French :) 

I feel so blessed to be here and to have the opportunity to share my testimony everyday! 

I love you all so much and I am so grateful for your support and prayers!
