Bonjour tout le monde!!!!!
I just wanted to start out this email by letting you all
know that I am SO HAPPY. I have never been happier in my entire life!!! The joy
I feel I just can’t even put into words. I was sitting next to Soeur Harding
and Soeur Martinez during conference (since my companions were listening in
French) and I just realized how HAPPY I feel here. How happy I am that I have
met all of these incredible people, missionaries and amis, who I never would’ve
met otherwise. I love this gospel so much!! I love being a missionary!!
And I LOVED conference sooo much. It was so incredible! My
favorite session was without a doubt the Saturday Morning session. I looooved
the metephor that the Korean seventy made about the man with palsy!!
Missionaries and members working together is sooo crucial in this work.
Speaking of the importance of members, we ate at the family
Marvons on Friday, and they pointed out that Frere Marvons father had read the
ENTIRE Book of Mormon and wanted to get baptized. He is an old ami from a long
time ago that we wouldn’t have even known existed without their help! They also
pointed out several families in their apartment complex that had met with the
missionaries in the past and would be ready to meet with them again. It’s so important that the missionaries and
members work together!
And remember how I told you last week that Sovita and
Florence had a problem with the word of wisdom? Well. At our last appointment
before Sovita broke his foot, they decided that THEY were going to teach us the
next lesson. So, we gave them some Word of Wisdom brochures and they said they
would prepare the lesson. ça y est, Sovita broke his foot and was in the
hospital, so we weren’t able to have a lesson until Monday, and it was only
with Florence. She understood the Word of Wisdom PERECTLY, and the fact that
our bodies are temples so we need to take care of them. She said that giving up
smoking and coffee was no problem at all, and she was happy to do it! She said
that in the hospital, Sovita started taking hot chocolate instead of
coffee--something VERY untypical of him. So yeah, apparently they don’t have a
problem with the Word of Wisdom at all!
I love you all!! A la prochaine! :)
