Well! I don't have a ton
to say this week, other than we had a great week in Périgueux. I'm really
starting to love this little ville. The members are what make it so awesome. I
really like serving in big villes and I have lots of member friends in each one,
but in small branches like this one, you get so close to the members. You
become a part of their large, dysfunctional family.
NOS AMIS
Our amis are doing really
well. We have fixed a baptismal date with one of our amis, Jean-Luc for the
21st of February. He is from Guyane. I don't know if the name is the same in
English as French but basically it is the country just above of Brazil where
everyone speaks French!
Yin is also doing really
well. We invited him to choose a date this week and I was almost sure he was
going to say yes because we sat in silence afterwards for like three minutes...
just staring at the floor. At the beginning of my mission I hated silence like
that, it was just super awkward to me. But now, I know it is an excellent
opportunity for the spirit to speak to people. Anyway, he very gently said that
he didn't know if he was ready. I then asked him what was holding him back. He
thought for a few minutes and explained that he isn't quite ready to commit to
living all of the commandments yet.
I'm sure that he has
received a spiritual confirmation it's just up to him now. We fasted for him
this Sunday and he has a super important interview this Tuesday (and he fasted
that everything would go well) so keep him in your prayers!
TRANSFER #11
Well! As for the
transfer, Elder Brill is leaving me... He is going to Nimes (which is near
Montpellier) I'm excited for him to experience another part of the mission.
Moving for the first time is always an experience!
As for me, I will be
staying in Périgueux and I will be TRAINING a BLEU! hahaha... In terms of the
mission, I'm having a baby! (A missionary straight from the missionary training
center.) When I got the call I just thought, ”Oh, my poor bleu.” lol I'm super
excited for this next transfer. It is going to be so much fun.
Today I'm in Bordeaux and
will leave this evening to Toulouse, stay the night there and then go to Lyon
and stay until Thursday. I'm so excited. I might have some time to see Rachelle
and Annick! That would be awesome.
Well! That is it for this
week! I'm sorry that I can't send any photos... I forgot my adapter. Anyway!
Je vous aime!
Que Dieu Vous Bénisse!
