Bonjour bonjour bonjour. la famille. comment ça va?

so this week has been SOO good. we had a ton of miracles and we also got to have a zone conference with elder Kopischke of the Seventy. so thats way cool.

He came and talked to us for a long time. like 6 hours. and we talked about all sorts of aspects of the work, finding, getting amis to church, etc. He promised us that if we had 20 lessons, 3-5 new investigators, and 2-5 amis at Church every week that we would baptize monthly. So me and my companion took that counsel very seriously. and we went back to our area and ALMOST succeeded. we only had 19 lessons this week (which is more than i have ever had in a week of my mission) We were SOOO blessed. we can really see the blessings of the lord as we follow his guidance and are obedient. as we do our best the lord makes up the difference. and so like we were SOO Blessed it was a great week.

We had a rendezvous scheduled with this woman and she ended up inviting her neighbor over while we were there. It was a great rendezvous and her neighbor was very open and was very happy to seeing us again. it was great!

We also passed by this man that was a formal investigator and he wanted to see us every day of the week. We have seen a slow change come over him that has been really good. before he had been in a depression for about a year, and slowly i'm seeing him be a little bit less pecimistic, and unhappy, and more open to the gospel. the spirit can work mighty changes is the hearts and minds of people.

Its all around just been a great week. it seems like this week we did more of what we are supposed to do as missionaries and that is TEACH! it is really motivating too. idk if i'm making much sense but yeah. i feel like sometimes i speak french in english. (grammar and stuff) anyways. uhhh... idk what else to say, Congrats to Amelia of course. and yup thats about it... have a great one!

LOVE YOU ALL
