Bonjour tout le monde! J'espère que vous avez passé une
super bonne semaine ! Can you believe it! Another transfer has flown by! This
week went by kind of slow actually, but you learn from everything am I right?
We did a lot of porting and a lot of our rendezvous fell through which kind of
stank, but ça va!
I don't have much time (because I procrastinated) so I'm
just going to do a quick little run through of my week!
The Bigelows, our senior couple, came over to Nantes to inspect
our apartment because they also heard we don’t have any heat and we're dying
(don't worry mom I'm still alive and well) and brought us KFC which was super
nice of them!
Favor came to our rendezvous to help us teach and she ended
up bringing Ruth (who is progressing towards baptism and will hopefully be baptized
in a couple weeks!), but our actual ami who we were supposed to teach never
came. So, we thought maybe we would teach Favor and Ruth a short little lesson
so as not to waste their time coming all the way out. We asked Ruth if she had
time to just stick around and have a little discussion before they left (we
also already had a rendezvous set for Friday evening with Ruth). This is the
dialogue that went down between Favor and Ruth:
Ruth: no, is
ok, we can talk Friday...
Favor:
*smacks Ruth’s arm hard*
Ruth: ok we
can talk tonight.
They're such a funny friendship I love being around them so
much! They have become such great friends to me. We ended up talking about
prayer and faith and read in Enos. Ruth told us she wanted to learn how to pray
and read the scriptures really well before she was baptized. She even moved up
her date! She’s progressing so well!
We went finding/were going to go porting (because our rendezvous
fell through) and we ended up stopping this lady who talked to us for an hour and
a half! It was good, but man French people can really talk. She loves Christ and the Bible and accepted
the Book of Mormon very happily! She made the connection that the book of
Mormon is another guide that explains the Bible because she believes that the
Bible doesn't hold everything. So that was cool!! Too bad she didn't give us
her number, but we hope to have her come to church sometime!
Friday night comes around and we went to Favor and Ruth's
house and this time we brought a member Sœur Carré to get to know them and just
have a good time! We taught the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the spirit was very
strong. Everyone shared amazing experiences and it was so wonderful. Favor
ended up making us traditional African meal for dinner which was super nice of
her. In Africa (or Nigeria) they eat everything with chili pepper. So, I’ll
just say, it was a rough night and I’m pretty sure my stomach was developing an
ulcer while I slept that night.
Anyways that's my week and it was super fun. It's the end of
transfers and I found out I'm leaving Nantes and will be going to Orléans serving as an STL (Sister Training Leader). I'm super excited to meet new people and serve the Sisters
of the zone. I'm super sad to leave the
wonderful people I've grown so connected with here. They are amazing, and I
hope to see them again later in the future!
Love you all lots and take care especially with this crazy
cold coming in!
Love,
Sœur Sarah Hunt
