Bonjour, Bonjour, ça va?
It's going well here, the
temperature changes every single day. Last week it was cold and snowy, and this
week felt like spring. It's like I never left Utah...
En fait, with pretty much everyone
we're teaching right now, it's easy for them to accept the message, but not so
easy to commit. Everyone basically is having a hard time reading the Book of
Mormon. So what we ended up doing in most of our rendezvous was explain the
importance of reading the Book every day. We got everyone to commit to read
again. Pierre is interesting, he doesn't like the format or the way the Book is
written. The old style of writing throws him off. He likes reading the
pamphlets a lot I guess cause of the pictures... it's hard to get him to
understand that if he wants an answer, he needs to make an effort himself.
Our less-active, Gwen is going
good. She's been reading and praying and wants to come back to church again in
the near future. She's doing awesome.
We got back in contact with an old
ami who was in a relationship with our other ami, Rhode, he's Sylvain, and is a
super sweet, humble guy. He dropped of the map for a long time, but we were
able to get a hold of him. His life is a little complicated, but we feel really
good about him.
Elder Langley is not a bad driver
for a kid from Arizona. To talk about food for you, papi, I did have lengua a
couple weeks ago, it was so good! They eat it a lot here, too. Something else
that's popular is raclette cheese on baked potatoes. It's pretty good. The car
is automatic. Goedemiddag is Dutch.
Other than Paris Saint-Germain
destroying Barcelona in the Champions League there's not a lot more big news
here, à plus!
Fraternellement,
Elder Aburto
