Week 25

HEY EVERYONE,

It was so good to hear from all of you this week. It is funny because i had completely forgotten what today was until i started to read emails. IT IS THE 4th OF JULY. hahaha I am now really excited about it and me and my companion are trying to think about what to do to celebrate it. Wow it is crazy thinking about you moving out of the house and all the random stuff you will find from the last 8 or so years, good luck with everything. Oh and to answer your question i have not met the new mission president yet i meet him on the 12th because that is when he is doing interviews with my zone, so that should be exciting. Well i have had a really exciting week. It was funny because i had forgotten everything and i had ask my companion what we did to remember everything. We found two new amis this week and we are really excited to continue teaching them. One of them was this man that was sitting on a bench and we were trying to go fast to catch a bus, but we decided we needed to contact him. We are so glad we did. He told us how he is working on stopping drinking and smoking and he really is looking for something more to life. We left him with a Book of Mormon and we are going to see him this week. I love how people who are ready for this Gospel seem to just find there way to missionaries, there is no way that is by chance. Well i have to quickly tell you about my Sunday yesterday. It was fast Sunday so this English lady who does not speak any french went up to bear her testimony but ended up just taking half the time telling us about her week and the man translating for her was messing it up so everyone was just confused. Her week included having her dog sit on cold water bottles so it did not over heat, chasing horses around because she was late for something, and the part where i had to do everything i could to not start laughing she found a hurt badger and took it to the vet and because she did not have a box for it she had it sit on her lap for an hour and she was really happy because it did not bit her. It was really funny hearing her say all this and then the translator trying to translate it and watching all the french peoples faces try to figure out what she was getting at. But in then end you have to love how big of a heart this lady has to save a hurt badger and let it sit on her lap. Anyways also this week all the buses in town changed schedules and stopped running for a day because of the construction. We did not no about this so we kept missing buses and ended up walking everywhere and running to make it to some randez-vous. On Wed this lady called us who was found about a year ago but she said she would call when she could see missionaries randomly gave us a call. We were able to see her and teach her the first lesson she was very receptive and i hope that things continue. I was really grateful this week because at church i was able to just talk to all the members with out any confusion in my french and understanding them. It may seem like a small thing but it was so good to see that the lord is blessing me and as i keep trying by best he is there feeling in where it is needed. I am really grateful for this church and the truths it brings. Thank for all the emails and letters. It is such a blessing to know i have all of you there supporting me. Je t'aime! Have a great 4th of July!
