Hey,
The repertoire
came out this last week and it turns out me and Langley are doing another
transfer together. This upcoming transfer will most likely be my last one here
in Saint-Omer so we must take advantage.
We were not able
to see many of our amis this week because it's week of school vacation for the
youngsters, we were however, able to see our less active, Gwen, and she's doing
great. She's so passionate about her beliefs and truly loves the gospel. She's
reading the Book of Mormon and loves everything that she reads and sees how it
applies to her life, something cool she said during our rendezvous was, "Chacun
pour soi, mais Dieu pour tous." Which means, "Every one for himself,
but God for all." I thought it was well said. We feel great about her
progression and know she's on the right path.
We were able to
see our catholic friend, Stephanette, she's super closed, but she likes
discussing with us, so we understand that it'll take a bit of time to get her
progressing, so we'll see what happens with her.
We did many a
finding and found some new people to teach, one of them being this cool
Brazilian chic we found in Hazebrouck, everyone knows Brazilians are awesome so
we're really excited about working with her and her famÃlia.
We went porting
one afternoon, and this old man opens the door and tells us that God doesn't
rule the universe, but planets do, and miracles happen because of the planets.
He told us that we were both rich because we had nice coats on. And he said
it's not good to do volunteer work for a church. People these days.
Not much else to
say, so hasta luego!
Elder Aburto
