Salut!
Just another email to let you know I'm still
alive. Life is still great here in Bretagne. The weather has been very
unpredictable lately with each day bringing a blazing hot sun, or a downpour of
rain. And when it rains, it pours! Hopefully the sun comes to stay this summer.
This week frankly flew by really fast. I think
one big part of it was that we took P-day on Tuesday and we spent most of our
day Saturday traveling. Regardless, we had some nice things happen nonetheless,
like...
We got to see our new ami, Anina, again and go
further into the Livre de Mormon. We invited her to come to church and she
came! She was only able to stay for sacrament meeting but she loved it and said
she wants to come back next week.
We got back in touch with Jeremie and finally
had a rendezvous with him. After a little while of not seeing him, we decided
to read a passage in the scriptures with him. It went well. He was able to reflect
and look inward and really see what he needs to change to improve his life. He
seems more sincere and hope he will make those steps to grow and gain a
testimony.
We had a great second lesson with Oriane. We
went over part of the Plan of Salvation and she loved it. She asked great
questions and wants to keep learning more. We passed her to the Sœurs, so we're
not going to be teaching her anymore. She's got some nice potential...
We also finally got in contact with a
part-member family from Perú. The dad is a member and less-active and most of
his kids aren't members. We got in the door and we were able to get to know him
a little bit. His name's Manuel. He seems like a
really serious guy, but he has a good sense of humor. He invited us over to go
eat Peruvian food this week. It should be a good time.
Well, that's all, folks. Thanks so much for all
the love and support and for living good lives. It was Mother's Day in France
yesterday, so Happy French Mothers Day!!
Je t'aime,
