It's way nicer and bigger. Elders took our old place. I feel bad for them... I will miss our tiny home and good ol' Stalingrad. But last week was a bit crazy moving and building furniture. I don't really like doing that I decided.
Tuesday and Wednesday we went on exchanges with Limoges, which is where Soeur L is serving so I got to be reunited! It was great. We just did a lot of contacting, but Limoges is so pretty. It is so clean and there is no dog droppings anywhere! It's all over in Bordeaux. And Yes. I did step in some. But only once. Anyways, it felt like old times. I love contacting with Soeur L. She's great.
Thursday was crazy because we had district meeting, taught English, then went to the apartment and started building stuff. It is super far away so the travel was long.
Friday we were going to have a lesson with A, but she keeps standing us up or canceling last minute. She keeps saying she wants to get baptized, but if she doesn't put forth effort we aren't going to waste our time. We'll see with her. Anyway, we built a lot on Friday too, and had a Lesson with a recent convert in our ward who is just wonderful.
Saturday, we finished building almost everything except for one bed, but had a lesson with A :) The thing with A is that she just wants to go slow, which is fine except when your salvation depends on it! We often get on the subject of faith because she loves it and that is what she struggles with most. She actually also brought up this time how she wants better prayers. We talked about specifying things, instead of being so broad. But she also doesn't want to ask for a million things all at once. So we compromised :) she is going to pray to ask if there is a life after this, more specifically, what we taught her in the Plan of Salvation. She will do that. We are winding down with time though. She leaves next Saturday, so we are sad. She wants to follow Christ but she is scared. She has faith, she doesn't know how to use it yet though. Anyway, we are going to have as many lessons as we can with her before she goes.
Sunday we went to a less active members house for a little piano recital. It was great and we were surrounded by non members and they liked us :) mostly because we told them how great their kids were and talented and gave them chocolate. So that was fun :) Anyway, sorry this week was so boring. I decided moving is the worst! I can't wait to be settled in and get back on schedule again.
It is the Christmas season. Remember our Savior Jesus Christ and everything He has done for us. I love Him and I am so grateful for everything I have. For YOU, this GOSPEL. We are so blessed to have the truthfulness in our lives. I love you all so much and I hope you know that!
Love, Soeur Roberts
