Wednesday, we went to Bouin to visit a member who wanted to know more about the temple as she is preparing to go for the first time :) she was so excited to show us around her whole area.
Thursday night we went down to Rennes early for our interviews with President. Then next day we had zone conference and President brought his whole family! It was so fun to see them all. They're so amazing and well behaved. Our assignment this week leading up to zone conference was to write a 3-5 minute talk about virtue because we might be chosen to give it. We didn’t know who he was going to pick so we had to be prepared just in case. I was nervous that he was going to pick me. The night before I heard that the talk was supposed to be in French, I had written my whole talk in English and then translated it to French a few hours before. Fast forwarding through the first half of the conference, our district was going to be singing The Spirit of God in French for the special musical number after lunch. Speaking of lunch, we had McDonald salads which were pretty good. So afterwards they announced that we were going to be singing and then I would give the opening prayer and then I was chosen to share my 3-5 minute talk. While the other Elder, who was also chosen was giving his talk, I realized that it didn't need to be French but I had already deleted my talk in English and so I ended up doing it in French. So, maybe…bonus points? LOL. I totally had a feeling that I was going to be chosen. It went well, and it was fun overall.
Best story of all happened earlier this week. We got a referral from the Lyon mission. The call came from Elder Ruben who I actually know from my private school days at Carden! We chatted a bit. It was such a coincidence. The referral he gave us was a woman from Nigeria. She met the church when she was living in Nigeria. She was helped by a man who was very kind, and who invited her to church and she said she really liked it. So, when she moved to Toulon she was searching where to find the church! She went to general conference there, then she just moved here to Nantes. She said she was searching for the church here but still couldn't find it. Until we got the call from the Elders in Lyon we wouldn't have found her and helped her! We met with her Saturday and she is so awesome! She remembers a lot from past missionaries and she even came to church and made some other Nigerian friends. She seemed like she loved it. We set a date for her baptism for the 25th of this month and we really think it will go through! She's excited and so are we. We know God led her to us and the church. Pray for her as she continues to have a desire to learn and progress!
Anyways that's my week! Hope you have a great one. Love you all!
