Bus Crash!

Bonjour à tous ! 

C'était une bonne semaine that's for sure. 

We had such a fun busy week. It's like that all the time but you know this week was special.

First off last pday we played spike ball. It was absolutely just the best. Played it for the first time in forever.

That night we have a rendez vous with a member family, and on our way we got into a CAR CRASH. It was nuts, we were on the bus, talking to this women, when suddenly the bus slammed and everyone fell. There was a car that swerved out of the other lane into a pole, his whole front end was demolished. Right after the crash he just left !! What !! Mais ça va, ça va. The rest of the night was great. 

*funny highlight 

We bought a watermelon this week ( pastèque ) and we were wondering what makes a good watermelon!! We thought we could turn it into a good contacting skill, so Every time we saw someone with a pastèque we asked them what makes it ready? And then we somehow transition into talking about Jesus Christ, we have received some really positive results. 

Thursday was so fun, we did OFII, which was a physical we needed to receive, and guess who was there... my entire MTC district :`) 

Yes I saw soeur Larsen and yes I had the best sun dried tomato baguette of my life. Afterwards we got free yellow kiwis it was wonderful. 

That night we literally had the best finding experience. Because soeur bakly and I have to go on a lot of exchanges, I get to practice my French a ton ( we were both in the same incoming group ). And we just had a great experience sharing our testimonies of the book of Mormon. It was truly powerful. 

SATURDAY. 

Okay so we went to the temple with Joël this Wednesday and it was super amazing. Felt the spirit so strong. But two days later we get a call from Joël and he said that frére Lethuaire called and asked if he wanted to go again to the temple this Saturday, so we went again !! Lol.i And when we went y'all was so cute he wore all white.

 But I kid you not, I KNOW that the priesthood is the restored power of God. 

So we went the second time feeling a bit timid, because we weren't sure what exactly we would teach him. We decided to create a family search profile so he could set up his family tree, he is SUPER interested in that. Anyways,  before that happened, frére Lethuaire asked him if he wanted a priesthood blessing, and he said bah oui! He received IN THE TEMPLE a priesthood blessing from two amazing gentleman. It was truly amazing. There were lots of tears. Then we sat in the waiting room and were reading together in the scriptures. He sat next to me and asked about the sacrament prayers. I told him, Joël !! You can bless the sacrament ! You will be able to have that power and authority! He was stunned. 

Shortly after that I ran into sandrine nakata 's father and cousins !!! We all got a picture it was super. I don't remember who but one of them told me to wait to get married haha. It was funny. 

Sunday 

Sunday was bliss, but I will say I gave one of the WORST contacts of my life... And it was in ENGLISH. No matter how hard I tried I couldn't speak !! Ugh it was the funniest thing, the couple was so patient and they actually said they were super interested so we're meeting with them again this week. I'm not joking I said maybe four words a minute it was so dreadful, but we were all laughing. 

It reminds me of that one scripture in doctrine et alliances that states he will give a portion of his knowledge to those, and as I thought about it, I was meant to talk to them at that moment. Because honestly if it had been anyone else they would have said heck no what language is this girl speaking? 

God works so many miracles. I am so grateful that I can SEE THEM ! I'm so gratefful that I'm aware of his hand in my life ! 

I love this gospel it's so true ! 

Miss you all, thanks for your Love 

Soeur Dunkley
