Bonjour,
It was so good to hear from you all this week. It sounds like things are a little crazy right now for everyone, but Christmas is just around the corner so don't worry. Also i will be praying for all of you. It missed the Nativity Festival this year. hahaha Well this week was so amazing. We saw a lot of people this week and found tons of new potential people so that was really exciting the work here in Paris never stops hahah. Well we had our Christmas mission conference this week. It was such a blessing when i got the letters from home. That was exactly what i needed! It was so great to get the letters and we had a little bit of time to read them and just think. It was so cool as all the missionaries were reading their letters from home, you could just feel the love and spirit in the room. I feel so blessed that you are all there for me and i feel your prays each day. Thank you!!! The rest of the conference was games, the video of the last year, and a message from the president. It all was just so good. Then later in the week we had our ward Christmas party. It was good! The missionaries had to do something so we acted out the Birth of Christ, it was kind of funny because we were all really bad at it, but in the end it went really well. The whole party was so good. It made me feel a little bit at home just talking with all the members and watching the Primary program, hahaha they are always the best. Also we had 4 amis come to it and really got along with the members so that is so great. Ok so the highlight of the week. THE BAPTISM, It was so good. Everything went perfect. I will send you pictures soon. Four people were baptized, it was just such a happy day. Also after they all bore their testimonies and it was all based on how they feel they have joined a family and they want their actually family to be part of it. It was cool to see how much love there was and how the Family really is at the center of God's plan for us. We are so blessed! Well this week really has just been perfect. Oh and it was really cool because last night we were out contacting and we ended up over by the Louvre, but there were to many people and tourist to talk to anyone so we went down by the river and started walking towards Notre Dame. At first no one was down there so we thought it was not a good place to be, but then we saw a young guy who was just walking and we started to talk to him. It ended up turning into a huge conversation and we sat down and talk for a while. It was cool to see how he just was so interested, but he did not know why. He just felt something, but then would keep saying that he just did not believe in a God. Well after we finished talking he just thanked us and we had made his day haha he walked away so happy. It is strange because i feel like nothing was really special about it. We just talked, got to know each other and told him things that i know are true and what has helped me. But behind it all the spirit was really guilding and working with him and us. I guess the experience just showed me that you never really know what is going on in someones heart and how God is working with or helping someone. So we just do our best, be kind, help out, and love unconditionally and we will be bless to see God work the small miracles of each day. Well i feel that i am just rambling on. I just feel so blessed to be here and to have family and friends like all of you. Life is good! I miss you all but the joy that i found shows me that i am doing what God wants me to do. Plus today i went to see Mona Lisa hahah. So i guess we just have to count our blessings. Thanks for all you do. I LOVE YOU!!!! JE T'AIME!!!! Make it an amazing week!
