So what the heck does Egel mean? Answer: hedgehog. And why is it in my email? This week (on Monday) the Zone Leaders found a hedgehog in there church parking lot so they put it in a box and put it into our apartment to prank us... so basically we had a pet hedgehog for a day! it is insanely cute, but spends 95 percent of its time in a ball. We called the Mission President and told him about this hedgehog (probably the most random thing ever for him) and so we brought it along with us on a joint teaching appointment the next day, so that we could bring it to our conference that night (Tuesday) We even went door knocking for a bit with a hedgehog. After the conference the President took it and it is now a pet in the mission home. haha That's some fun stuff from me for the week.
Because of the attack in Paris, Antwerp-en is on high alert, there are military guys with M16s at every station and in every crowded centrum area, also there are crazy armored trucks in the centrum with 50cal machine gun turrets on top. So yeah things are crazy here! We can't use trains or go to crowded areas until otherwise told, we are going to try to stay south of the centrum where possible next week. and probably the worst part because of the threats is that the Belgium missionaries had to cancel our Turkey bowl... yeah so now because of that I'm even more mad about ISIS.
On the other hand we have lots to do this week, we got one lesson last week and that was with a lady that we probably wont go back to because she wanted to know all this private information about us before she was going to let us back. so yeah we need to find lots of people! haha Nothing too spiritual this week, we had a good conference about teaching the first lesson which reminded me of how special the message of the restoration is! It truly is an unique message of love from our father in heaven! So glad to be able to share it.
