Helllooo!
This
week went good :) We actually spent half of it in Grenoble because
Sister G needed to do her legality there, so we were out of our
sector for three days, which was kinda a big bummer. But I ate a stuffed
waffle and a bagel sandwich which was really yummy :) But we had quite a
few member moments which was great!
Wednesday night we went to our WML's house. Him and his wife
are from Idaho and super nice. It's odd to have a dinner appointment in
all English! haha But they are both awesome. Brother T is a little
awkward so he makes me laugh... :)
Then Thursday we were able to get back to work! We had zone
training and we discussed a lot about goal making and accountability. We have the youngest missoinary in our district. He turned 18
in June and got his mission call before he graduated! Crazy! He's a
nice elder though. So we made goals as a zone. We focused on how many
baptisms we want and a lot on getting members involved in our work.
Friday was great because we had exchanges and I love
exchanges. I went with Soeur M from Nevada. We worked worked worked
which always makes days better, like 100% better. We had a lesson with
one of her investigators who wants to get baptized sooo bad. She said I
don't want to wait I need salvation now! So cool. She is a very sweet
woman but she kinda has some mental disabilities so they have to be
careful and make sure she is ready. After that we went and visited a
less active. She is very old, like 70's but she literally dresses and
wears make up like she is 17 years old. It kinda scared me when I first
saw her, but i love her. She is lonely she said and I guess has had some
problems in her life. She loves to sing hymns and so we sang Be Still
My Soul with her and then we gave her a lesson on her divine potential
and how she is not alone. It really touched her.
On Saturday me and Souer M were on our way to visit another
less active in my ward and we were contacting on the way and we had a
miracle! We contacted M. A student here in Bordeaux. She is
Christian, french canadian and super nice. We asked her what brings her
happiness and she said the Sun! And then we got to talking. She told us
how she is Christian and we talked about the restored Gospel. She asked
about prophets and she said I think it isn't neccessary to have a
prophet because we can go directly to God for questions. She asked me
how I know, how I came to find out. I told her how I prayed. I told her I
read a scripture in 2 Nephi 29:9. God is the same Yesterday today and
forever. Just because we have one word doesn't mean we can't have more.
Then we gave her the first lesson on a bench, I gave her a Book of
Mormon that she promised she would read, and we exchanged numbers. And I
called her last night and we are meeting her today for lunch! I am so
excited. I hope she is prepared to accept this gospel.
Sunday was good. I am getting more into the ward. I love them.
We got to teach YW's. There were only four girls, but it was a great
lesson. One girl who is a little on the edge really opened up. It's hard
for the kids here. They are surrounded, literally surrounded by
atheists, smoking, drinking, immorality. It's tough to be LDS in high
school here in France. They are often the only one. So the girls really
talked about those struggles and we testified to them that they are
never alone, even when they are. It was great.
We also had another young american couple move in. They are on
internship here. The wife is terrified but so sweet. She can't speak
french but the husband served his mission here so it's good :) Anyway I
love Bordeaux so much.
Also I am almost done with the Book of Mormon. I am going to
finish by conference and also I CAN'T WAIT FOR CONFERENCE. I cannot
wait. I know that we have a living prophet today and that he leads and
directs Christ's only true church. I know this gospel is true. I love
you all so much :)
Love, Soeur Roberts
