7:30pm Age 21
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME—Yep it’s been 21 years since I left my Heavenly Father’s presence. I’ve had a revival of my spirits since the last page. Seems that we had an interview and conference with newly appointed apostle Boyd K. Packer. We decided to repent, attitude change can do miracles for you. The city as started to green up for us. Work is of course easier with the proper attitude.
Had to knock off all those wild weekend “s’en payer une traches” (paying the price) in Bruxelles. They broke me right proper. I was living off my companion Rodney Sorensen Pearson for a whole 30 day period. Now is tightwad “Uncle Scrooge Hatch”. We lived for 70 cents apiece a day for food last week. (I was the cook for the whole week!). Hope Elder Pearson does it under a dollar, all would be well.
There is big possibility of a transfer this weekend. 14 Greenies coming in — one year after me — neat. But don’t set yourself too much on a transfer if it doesn’t come. We went to Liège for the Packer conference. Saw a few of the Seraing Branch. Still can’t understand Françis Polman who speaks terrible French (discovered a year after being here and not understanding Polman, it wasn’t me that didn’t know French. It was him who can’t speak it). Took a wild ride home with the Brugniets (branch president in Nivelles) in their Volkswagen. Stopped off to see one of his old “T.J.” buddies he used to tract with. Very interesting. The buddy had just recovered from a mental/problem or something. Real nice couple. Elder Pearson bought himself a bike—much like mine—8 speeds. Red. Belge handle bars. We’ve been applying a New Family approach which I know
