What a great week.
It all started on Wednesday with a great
rendezvous with Thierry. We went over the gospel of Jesus Christ with him in 2
Nephi 31. He loved it and it all made sense to him. It was his birthday the
next day, so we went over and gave him a card and a little gift. He recognizes
us as servants of the Lord, but also as his friends. It was nice to spend some
time with him on his birthday.
Then we found this awesome new ami, Audrey.
She's from Gabon and she's a very believing Christian. We had a short first
rendezvous but it went great. She met with missionaries a good while ago and
was very happy to be able to talk with us again. She seems pretty cool.
We met up with a potential, Mohammed, and we
had dinner with him at Flunch. The food was alright, but the discussion was a
lot better. He's a young Muslim man, yet he's very open-minded. He very
willingly took a BOM and said he'd read it. So, on verra.
Then we had a soirée familiale with a
less-active family on Friday with some other members. They hadn't been to
church in a while, so we went over to see how they were doing. It went pretty
good. We emphasized the importance of the sacrament and taking it regularly.
Well, it turns out, they made it to church on Sunday. Go figure.
On Saturday we had a Finding Day in Lorient.
Turns out, it was the last one for a while. It went good. The branch had a lot
of members come and help us out.
Today is Monday and with the new mission
president things have changed and we got the news for next transfer today.
Well... I'm leaving Brest to another area. But the area won't be foreign
to me because I've already served there before. In fact it was my "Bleu
ville". Yeah. I'm going back to Brussels for my last six weeks as a
missionary and I'll
go back to the Spanish équipe. My new companion is Elder Dorado, from Canada. We'll be white-washing.
It's a dream come true. Christmas came early this year. These next six weeks
will literally fly by.
God bless.
Love,
Elder Aburto
