Le Temple

April 24th, 2017

Bonjour,

This was a great week.

We had the great privilege of visiting the Paris France Temple in Le Chesnay. It's absolutely incredible. The grounds aren't very big put the church used it the the best of its ability. It's a smaller temple, but it is very special. One of the things that make it unique is the stained glass windows. All of the windows of the temple have the stained glass, it has a nice visitor’s center with a Christus statue outside in the gardens. It was so nice to walk inside and to feel the spirit of the temple. It's very meaningful for all the members here, because 20 years ago, no one thought they could see a temple be built in France. It's great to be apart of this historic moment for the church here.

As far as Brest goes...

We had a nice rendezvous with our ami, Jeremy. He's like a 30 year-old French guy. He speaks good English, so we teach him with the Griffins. We taught him the Word of Wisdom and it went great. He has some problems with drinking coffee, but he committed to start living it. He has a lot of faith and we're so happy for his desire to do what's right. We hope to keep him progressing.

We did a lot of finding again. But we were able to fix some rendezvous with a couple of those people we met on the street, so we'll see how serious they are by the end of this week.  We did also get let into a house while porting. This really nice Hindu lady let us in and we had a nice brief discussion. It was pretty cool.

Well, that's all for this week. I hope everyone does well and may success follow all of the faithful.

Love,

Elder Aburto
