"This is the song that I sang for our Spiritual night at the Ward! They loved it and now I am known as "Le Cowboy"
So this week was full of fun and
interesting in the sense that we did a lot and yet not very much at the same
time!
On Monday night we visited our
special old couple named George and Jeanne. They are 89 and have this amazing
house. They don't get many visitors so they love having us over. The weird
thing is: I feel the Spirit every time we go and visit them. They have
expressed that they have no interest in converting, but as long as we can bring
people closer to Christ and help them feel the Spirit, we are doing our job.
Tuesday we went to Cannes and did
some street boarding for our free English class! We handed out at least 50
flyers and had a lot of people say they would show up on Thursday for the
class! I talked to a lot of people by myself which is very good for me because
my skills need to be improved. We met a man that said he had been on a search
for Christ and when he saw the name of our church, he took it as a sign and
wanted to meet with us again! (We still haven’t heard from him yet so we will
call him tonight!! this man was golden!)
Wednesday was an average day. But we
ran into this big tall man from Arkansas who had the most American accent I
have ever heard! He had been living in France for 50 years!! He was really cool
and it was so nice to hear an American accent again!
Thursday was alright... I got in a
better mood for my companion and I started liking him again. I read a talk on
pride and I asked God to forgive me for being prideful and to help me really
love Elder G and it worked!! We are doing really great! It was also English
class! I was so excited and expecting a lot of people!! But then we got there
and nobody showed up except for a Portuguese member and his daughter.... It was
pretty disappointing... But for some reason, I was still really happy and I
felt like nothing could bring me down!
Friday!
Oh man... we have some drama in the district.... Elder G is the district leader, so
he is stressed about it and it stresses me out and I am starting to lose hair
again.... I am not happy and I am thinking about having a talk with this Elder
if he doesn’t grow up. The Zone leaders have ever expressed that he is being
childish and needs to grow up! Gosh....
Saturday we had samedi sportif (Saturday
sports) but then nobody showed up so that wasted our time lol.... But then we
went home and made about 96 no-bake cookies for the ward on Sunday! They
absolutely loved us!! Everyone wants the recipe now haha so we have to make
copies of that!
Sunday was super great :) I felt the
Spirit so strongly! I was asked to bear my testimony and say the closing prayer
afterwards, and I was so overcome by the Spirit that I had to stop in the
middle of the prayer to keep myself from breaking down and sobbing :') I love
feeling the Spirit like this :) it makes me so happy!
Monday: Now we have to go clean our apartment for the
inspection tomorrow!! Super (not) fun hahaha but that is life! Not too much to
clean thank goodness! It is usually pretty clean :)
This week for stake conference,
President Boyd K Packer is coming to speak to the Nice stake!!! And I will be
at Nice for that!! Super cool!!! And hopefully I can meet Julie Hotz, a friend
of Julia's! That would be so cool!!
Well take care! I love you lots!
