6 June 1978 Tuesday
Today was quite an interesting day. We visited Mw Van Campenhout in the hospital & we were able to teach a bit. She really wants to prepare to get baptized. She still has the temptations though to smoke. Also they still feed her coffie & she drinks it. We keep telling her to ask for hot water & she asks but they don’t give it to her.
She has a friened there who works there and comes & visits her once in a while He is a young man and he always smokes while he is there in her room. That is why she wants to, but he won’t give her any thank goodness. Later in the day we taught Mr Mornie the last part of an “E”. He still studys & prays but I don’t know how seriously.
We then went to Eerdekens. Mr Eedekens was home but he wanted to watch football (soccer) on TV. It’s the world series more or less. Walter also gave me a whole series of stamps. I’m not sure how much it is worth but at least 200 or 300 Francs. We started teaching, but then the older son came in with his wife to be. We talked with them then for the rest of the time.
Our appointments wih Jean-Pierre didn’t go through, so we hit up this one call back which we had from a while ago. We had heard from someone that the father had died, but a few days ago when we rang on the bell, the daughter said that her mom & dad weren’t home. Tonight we went there and the older daughter asked us in, but then we found that the two daughters were home alone she said her mom would be home real quick though so we waited.
She was wearing a night gown (she was sick) which was see through and she was always standing in the sunlight so we could see right through. And then the other daughter came in wearing a mini skirt so it was difficult keeping my thoughts where they should be.
The mother did come home quickly but she had friends so she couldn’t take [talk] to us. We found out then that the father is in the hospital and has been in serious condition. She said we could take [talk] to her daughters & went into the other room with her friend, so we finished our drinks & talked to some pretty girls for a while and went home.
