Well, I don't have a whole lot to say. This week nothing
really big happened because it was basically the same every day. Finding and
studies. Not bad, just uneventful. We had some great studies though! We've had
some really fun discussions as a companionship, always very enlightening.
We found two new amis this week and one in specific is named
Cathy. We met her Tuesday and we had a rendezvous for Thursday morning
at 9h30. We prepared so much for her and it was going to be a good lesson.
We didn't realize that we had just barely missed our bus, time flies. But we
were able to walk with enough time to get to the church right on time. We
checked our phone and she had texted at 9h15 saying she was at the
church. We didn't hear the text, but we texted her back saying we were here and
asked where she was. Emphasizing the fact that she was 15 minutes early. Her
response back to our text was, "Tan pi je suis reparti chez moi."
Meaning, too bad, I went back to my house. We texted back asking if she was
still available to meet, and she said no not possible. LOL ok it's fine, it's the
regular life of a missionary. Hopefully we'll be able to meet with her this
week. Back tracking on the story of how we met, she stopped us on the road with
a religious book of a sort asking us if we were Jehovah’s Witnesses. No. We're
not. Anyways, there's our most exciting story of the week.
Our ward asked JUST, me and Skoozy to sing Called to Serve
in English for Estelle’s-going-on-a-mission-ward-activity-thingy. You remember, she's going to the California, Los Angeles Temple Visitor Center Mission. LOL, I
can’t sing. I wish I could, but I can’t. So, we’ll see how this turns out. We’ve
been practicing every day since they asked us. HAHAHA. Il faut practiquer (you must
practice).
We had the wonderful opportunity to ride an autobus (bus) to
our district meeting in St. Omer instead of riding a train. Thanks to the
grèves (the train strike). It was 1 hr 48-minute bus ride. I don't think
anyone should ride a bus that long, but the scenery was absolutely amazing. So
many farm fields and forests. Absolutely
gorgeous. Seriously, cameras don't do it
justice. Then after D.M. we had to take another autobus back.
Anyways, I don't have much else to add, except that my
scriptures studies have been so much more worthwhile. I can officially say that
I have an appreciation for the scriptures now. If you really try to put forth
the effort in understanding the history, and background of the people, also the
reasons why they did things etc., the scriptures you read will be so much more
worthwhile. Now I actually look forward to reading them. I have so much respect
for all the prophets who worked so hard to preserve the records for us today.
Seriously, if you believe in the Book of Mormon then you'll know everything
else is true. You need to know if God is real. Once you know that, then you
know when He says to keep his commandments and follow the prophets he's called,
is something you actually need to do. All you need to do is what God tells you to.
He knows what's best, he knows what we need, and he loves us. That's all he
wants, is for us to be happy. I'll follow him.
Have a great week! Love you all!
