Hello, Hola,
Bonjour, Goedemiddag, and what not,
It's been
another fantastic week over here in Saint-Omer. It's hard to believe
that it's already mid-February. I've been in this ville for over 2
months now. It's also hard to believe how fast time goes. Before I'll
know it, it'll be time to leave Saint-Omer.
This week we
were able to see Lebrun again. His wife was on vacation at her mom's
house, so it was just him this time. Man, it was a great lesson. He
understands so well and he just takes everything in. We gave a soft
baptismal invitation and he accepted without hesitation. I'm so excited
for all that we're going to do together with this young couple.
We also saw
Pierre again this week. He's the agnostic guy. The lesson came out
pretty nicely. He came prepared with a lot of good questions, a lot of
which I've never heard before. He's a really deep thinker and he feels
like he already lives a happy life. We've seen this a lot with people
especially over here in St. Omer, that people feel like their life is good
enough and they don't necessarily need God. With Pierre we just tried to
get him to understand that if that's not the case now, it'll happen
later, that there'll come a time in his life when he will want to know
if there's a God. At the end of our rendezvous together, we were able to
get Pierre to pray for the first time in his life. It was pretty cool.
A couple nights
ago, we went with Baptiste, in the priests' quorum to go contact a
couple of referrals that his family gave us. The first guy told us no,
but the second person open the door and let us in. It was a younger
couple who were friends with Baptistes older brother. They were both
really young and surprisingly believing. We gave them a Book of Mormon
and they accepted to read it. It was great.
Yeah life
definitely is good for a missionary, even if you're serving in St. Omer 😀.
Happy Holiday Of
Love,
