Bonjour,
This week has been well.
As a matter of fact we did have our Zone Conference
this last week in Lille, and it went well. The big announcement was the
schedule change for missionaries. So now lunch is 30 minutes, instead of
an hour, and our study are slotted in the day which best fits each
situation. So now what President Babin wants is for us to study until
10:00 leave, have lunch at 1:00, then comp study, then language study,
leave, have dinner at 6:00, then leave until 9:00 at night. It
definitely makes more sense, and we'll be able to do more with that
schedule now. P-days now are 2 hours longer, since studies in the
morning have been reduced. So good news for us.
This week we were able to get a couple of rendezvous
in! The first one was a guy we met on the street, named Pierre. He's a
young guy in his 20's. He was really nice when we approached him on the
street, and so we had a good feeling about him afterwards. On Saturday
we were able to meet with him again, we had a pretty nice discussion on
a bench sitting in the park and he had a lot of good questions all
prepared for us. He's a very sincere guy. He's agnostic, but he's
willing to listen and to read the Book of Mormon.
The other guy we met with was someone we actually met
on the street on Wednesday, and he told us to go to his house on Sunday,
and we were able to do so. His name's Alain and is a really nice
middle-aged Frenchie. He believes in God but thinks religion is bad. He
believes more in doing good for people than in going to church. He has a
lot of good views about life and is open to our message. I see good
potential working with him. He also has a really big dog that's super
friendly. I felt like I was at home when we were in his place with his
huge dog all over us.
T'was all the noteworthy. Looks like the Warriors are
doing fantastic. And let's hope the Patriots lose so we can finally get
rid of Brady and bring in someone else new. If Tim Duncan is done, Tom
Brady has no business still playing. The man's gotta retire at some
point...
New year, new goals, new schedule. It's looking like a
good one.
See ya next time.
Love,
