Hola amigos,
How is it going? It's going pretty good here in Mulhouse.
Outside of the fact that Les Bleus choked last night... It's been pretty hot
lately. But that is beside the point.
This week was very fulfilling because we finally had
interviews with the boss and her husband, or Sœur and President Babin. Sœur
Babin gave me some reassuring words in our interview. She told me being a
District Leader is not a big deal. If I behave and act like a missionary should
act in the first place, I have no worry to have a leadership position because
being a good missionary is already being a natural leader. It was good to hear.
Right after interviews, we had our district meeting with the Babin's. I gave a
little formation about the power of the spirit. It was actually a big help to
have President there because he always participates and he always has something
insightful to say. I learn something new and useful every time I see him. He's
awesome.
The next day we had an exchange with the Belfort elders. I
was with Elder Farnworth, who's a bleu missionary. But you know what? We saw
great success together. We found a Malagasy family while porting in an
apartment building. It was the first time that I saw success while porting! We
also found a really cool Italian lady in the same building! I was astonished at
what the bleu had done. It was amazing. The Sœur missionaries also found us a
Kosovan dude who speaks English and Albanian, which is perfect because we have
a lot of Albanians in this ward. We have a rendezvous scheduled for later this
week.
Yesterday, our bishop sent us out to a neighborhood 20
minutes away from the centreville of Mulhouse to find a man he met at school.
He said he felt he should send us out there to find him in that day. He told us
he was Peruvian and his name was David. He didn't know his address but he knew
the area where he lived. We searched for like 4 hours and walked a very long
ways... But we couldn't find him. We'll go back soon to keep looking for him.
The only way we're going to find him is by the spirit.
And France lost yesterday. But it's ok, Papi, because the SF
Giants are leading their division! Let's Go Giants!!!!
I am very tired today because we walked a LOT yesterday. So
that's it for this week.
¡Adiós!
Elder Aburto
P.S. We call the greenies “Bleus” because back in the day, the new members of the French military would wear blue coats.
