Bonjour à tous et à toutes !
Happy to hear from all of you. This week was a good one that's for sure. It was chuck full of tiny miracles.
Le dimanche passè was so amazing, having Oresti be baptized was one of the coolest experiences I have witnessed. It was really stressful trying to put together a musical number, but in the end it went super well. Hopefully you all can see it.
During church our DMP said that ' we as members need to prioritize the missionaries. So they created a calender for us to eat chez eux. Which is so nice but au même temps you're like guys we are fine we're not starving lol. Anyways so we have mangez-vous three days in a row and then one on Samedi last week, which is like unheard of but that's how Cholet is. They were all so amazing. And I have already raved about it in my Individual emails but I had hands down the best meal of my life chez buron. Wow. Actual French cuisine. C'était une galette qui vient de Britain, it ressembles a crèpe but it's more savory. So yeah, and best part she made it with vegan cheese, i was just overwhelmed with Love wow. Then she made a tartine and that was just dairy free heaven. So all in all we are taken care of.
We've been meeting with this one woman, Madame Jacob, she used to be a Catholic Soeur, now she's 77 and extremely handicapped. She has studied the Mormon religion towards the end of her life and claims to be Mormon. She loves Monson and le liver de Mormon alors that's good. She's wanting to be baptized this October 14th. Our soul problem is just getting her to church, we are working with our DMP and ward to find vehicles that are made for those in wheelchairs. So we need lots of prayers !! Keep them coming !!!!
This Thursday we met with an amazing woman named Madame Mercier, she has been really reading the book of Mormon and really wanting to know what it is that we believe. We invited her to be baptized and she sat there in silence and said, "you know what, i just don't know if he was a prophet", well madame guess what you CAN KNOW. So we asked her to pray ofc and meet again and she said let’s do it let’s test tgis theory. She is going to be such a leader I can feel it.
Thursday night I played football with the ward, it was so fun and yes I was the only girl playing. Soeur Peterson graciously cheered me on from the side lines. I loved it so much, first off our ward is amazing at encouraging me because all I did was run around haha. Je m'améliorerai.
Friday we had a rendez vous with José again, but il m'a posé à lapin. After talking with the members, low and behold this tiny little man pulls up and says well I was just curious to know about your church !! Lorenzo !! Well this tiny man had the biggest mouth !! Lol, he was just super opinionated to what we believed. We gave him a church tour and he accepted the book of Mormon, alors on verra.
OH I was driving the other day with our windows rolled down. We were at a stop light when this other car approached us. These two men asked if we wanted to get a beer, we kindly said we don't drink beer, then they asked le café? No we don't drink le café... then he goes... jus d'orange ? Finally I pulled out our card and said were missionaries, if you want to know more about your heavenly father give us a call, they took it and the light went green, that was kind of fun.
This week I studied a ton in my bénédiction patriarcale. I realized that the things I have been blessed with should be used throughout my mission, and all the weaknesses which I have, can be made into strengths if I appliquer the things de dans the blessing. I am so grateful and blessed that we have a literal liahona to guide us throughout our lives. And it is always relevant!! He word is the same but it always applies!
God lives and he loves you. If you're going through any trial, know that he is aware. It is important to know that Christ knows your trial as well.
My dear friend Kayla Hughes shared this scripture with me once, c'est 1 Peter 1:7
7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ
Your weaknesses and trials make you stronger !! Remember that!! Love you all !!
Also the pictures, members gave us some more veggies
Beautiful sunflowers
