Miracles!

Bonjour bonjour ! 

Oh  la la !! Cette semaine était bien passé ya'll. Vraiment c'était trop bon. Mes jours préféré sont les jours charger. Remplir d'oeuvre. So good. 

First off today for P-day we went to the. Musée de l'armée. So that explains the pictures. 

We also ate at this vegetarian healthy restaurant, some lady convinced us it was divine. Pricey but divine. 

Okay to start 

Monday night we went finding. I have to say it was one of the weirder nights. First, i contacted this guy who pulled out a bag with what looked like a fish eye.... yes, you should have seen my face i was jaw dropped and everything. I was trying to talk about prophets and he just whipped out this fish eye thing and started eating. Anyways, we continued on in Vincennes and met this guy who had long hippie hair from Belgium. Sweet man, told us his name was Walter. Anyways he asked us a bunch of questions about the US and about TX and how we were so young... and then me to go to sacre coeur with him , he quickly corrected himself and said shoot i probably can’t since you’re on a mission right ? and i was like exactly ! Plus I've already been! But if you want to hear about the gospel here's our number! He was SHOOK that we gave it to him. Lol, he spoke English and moved like artists do, super slow and with rhythm You get the picture.  We will hear about him later on in the week 

We also had a great leçon with a member Iris who kept putting on Whitney Houston lol. Mom you would have loved it. We ate amazing salads and talked about the Temple, all with sweet Whitney in the background. What a way to bring the Spirit. Haha, don’t worry we asked her to change it. She said yes after 3 songs. Ca va. 

Thursday we met these two sisters, who came from Africa, and their kids. They completely rejected our message at first, but randomly... something changed. Neither of us remember what we said but after they were both like give me that book we are coming to church. We were stunned. Stay tuned for more info ;) 

We also met with this recent convert named Fanny. She is the cutest, she’s SO STRONG. She’s in a wheelchair and her family hates Mormons so she has to catch ride everywhere to go to church and such, so it’s pretty hard to meet with her but grâce à Dieu,  we are able to meet once a week at a park. We read "a summer with great aunt rose" together and it was so tranquil. Out on the grass near the flowers. You could clearly feel the spirit there. I loved it. 

Okay, Friday soeur Bakly and i literally ran around our whole sector for this one women, we were helping her prepare a marriage. Afterwards we made American cookies and taught her and her nonmember friend. It was so fun and also sweaty, working that cuisine in the heat is a trying task. Lol 

SUNDAY ALSO KNOWN AS THE DAY OF MIRACLES 

I just have that one song in my head, "i believe in miracles" if you know the tune then great. Anyways, we had again all our amis (friends) at church!!! 7 !!!! Seriously what!!!! Maria, and her two kids came and Roana- her daughter- was completely welcomed with open arms by the members. Joel, who came and prepared his testimony for testimony meeting, so cute, he wrote down every member that he has ever come in contact with. I was helping him, then Anne Felicita and Helenore, the two sisters we met !!!!!! Ugh they were so fun. They went to Paris on accident, just from mal use of transportation, but they STILL CAME to church !!!! THATS the spirit ladues and gentalman. Et puis, funny story, but saturday i was trying to call Joël, and i accidentally called a differently Joel on the phone. Well, we ran into him the next day ??? Coincidence ? No?? Then low and behold he just shows up at church ! Great blessing. 

Last but not least, and the most surprising of all, Walter, the German man, shows up. Out of the blue!! We had NO contact with him he just came. Lol, he stayed forever and brought Soeur Kennington and i sandwiches lol. He was so sweet and told us that he thinks he’s going to try and live out of a "decked out van" in paris, so we can continue teaching him. Don’t worry we handed him to the Elders that’s for sure. Lol 

But basically it was just such a blessing. That Sunday i kid you know everything was in line with Gods plan. I know things do not happen by coincidence. 

One thing I love about God’s timing, is that he is actively  working on us to prepare us for a time when our faith is tested. These people are prepared! And i can’t wait to see what’s in store for them 

Sunday night we went to Beatrice's house. She invited us and said I’m trying to set up my cousin and my husband’s cousin, so can you set up a spiritual thought about eternal marriage? We were like… What lol. Ok we will prepare something. 

Well we didn't feel we should go that route because everyone at the party was a nonmember except for Beatrice. So we prepared to talk about Alma 7. When we got there, first off, it was so awkward because Beatrice’s husband, Alvin, was filming the whole thing. He kept telling me to shout 'y'all.' Mais, with time it got better, and frank, Alvin's cousin, was super into learning about the Mormons !!! We talked a lot actually about Cain and Abel. Very interesting subject. But after we discussed Moses chapter 5 about their prosperity. It was super awesome. 

Following the dinner, we taught all 6 of them about the Book of Mormon, It was soooo powerful! We read from Alma 7, because it talks about Jesus's life and his gospel. Two very important pieces of info. 

One thing i am so grateful for is the guidance of the Spirit. He is with us every step of the way. 

I encourage all of you to strive to keep the spirit with you by choosing to be an open vessel. Pray to be virtuous and humble and you will be guided !! 

Love you all!!

Till next time!
