so.... HELLO!!!!!
Hows everybody doing this week? i had another great week! so here we go...
umm on monday, basically what happened is that we hung out and Elder Walker packed... BORING!!! anyways so then the next day (tuesday) we went and passed a bunch of people so that elder Walker could say goodbye and stuff. we had a few rendezvous and we were able to teach Louis, Stefanie, Moses and Marie and also see our Branch President and his Family before he left.
So Louis is this great African man that has had a lot of crazy experiences this last little while. A year ago he was in a coma and the doctors said he had less than a one percent chance to live and wanted to just pull the plug but the family wouldnt let him and he came out of the coma, BUT he was blind, deaf, and weighed 30 kilos, which is like 70 pounds or so... anyways so NOW he can see, hear, and he's the Buffest person i've seen in my life... its crazy, he has such a strong testimony of prayer because he knows thats what saved him and has given him back his life.. HE's a great guy. anyways so he has told us his little workout program thing that he did after his coma to become the way he is, and basically it involved him doing pushups until he was doing about 1000 a day.... so i think i'm going to do that!!! sounds like fun huh? haha...
umm but so like we have some great Investigators that have strong desires to understand god better and its way cool.
So then on Wednesday elder Walker left to LYON. I went with him until Chambery because i had to wait with the elders there until my companion got to annecy because he Was in LUxembourg and well... it took him 11 hours to get down here... yikes! so that was our wednesday...
My new companion is named Elder Mason and he's from Huntington Beach, California and is probably the FUnniest companion that i've had. He likes to play soccer and he's a Pole Vaulter and ya its just been way fun to be around him this last little bit. Especially since we have been able to teach so much lately and just been blessed with SOOO many miracles. so its been fun.
umm Yesterday was probably the best day that we have had this week. We went to church and we had 4 amis there and we taught the GOspel principles class on Prayer and it was a great lesson. Then after that and church the ward had prepared a little luncheon thing (they do it after every 3rd Sunday) so we got to eat with them. Then after that we went and started to pass some people because we really wanted to get new amis and to teach people so we passed by some of our amis and stuff and nothing was really going on well so we decided to do some porting and this Old Man let us in and accepted the Book of Mormon and said he'd read it and that we could come back so that was GREAT!!! after that we talked to quite a cool people but then we went and had DInner and we were still a little lower than our goals, so we went out and passed like a bunch of people, one of them this guy that again accepted the book of mormon and said he'd read and that we could pass by again (it was actually his wife that we were going to pass and she said we could come by another time but if he wanted us too come by too that works!) then we passed by Marie again to share a quick spiritual thought on the way to another persons house and her, her sister, and this other guy that lives there were all excited to see us and ALL pulled out their book of Mormons and asked great questions and stuff it was great!!! They're so cool! and like we just felt like we got SO much accomplished on Sunday it was great and now today we are SOOO tired... its great. preparation day always comes with perfect timing haha!
Well so thats about it for me, thanks for writing me! its great to here from you all! Love You!
