April 10
This week was a pretty good one. The carnival came to our town and is camped just up the street, so we have to walk right through it to get anywhere. It is nuts. I should be gone by Wednesday, but it is very loud and has a lot of tempting food trucks. I dont know how they can have food trucks with any business when there is a Frituur on almost every street in Belgium.
I am serious when I write almost every street. A Frituur is a place where you buy fries and all sorts of other deep fried things. They love thier deep fryers. Fries are also relatively cheap. You can get enough to fill you up for 3 euro easily. Fries are more of a meal here rather than a side. They are not necessarily as good as everybody makes them sound, but they are addicting. By the next day after getting some frites you want more.

There are plenty of people that we have not gotten contact with yet here, but we are trying. One of these days they will all be home.
We also had a really good week with a couple of our strongest investigators. The one should be done smoking within a couple days. And we finished teaching them all the lessons this week. They are getting ready to take the next step.
We met a couple American students this week on the train. We helped them find their way around the city and had a good conversation about our religious theology and about Joseph Smith and where he got his authority. It was really nice because it was more of just a shallow desire to know why were are knocking on the door. It was satisfying to answer well considered questions.
Today we went to Bobbejaanland with our investigators and members. It is an amusement park in the area. The member got us very cheap entrance tickets and we had a lot of fun the whole day. We had a good fast Sunday.
Urinals here in Belgium are out in the public where everybody can see you. No shame.
