Dear Family,
How
is life after Christmas? This week was a lovely Christmas week. I told
you a bit about it. One funny thing. Did I tell you about out Lunch with
B last Monday? She almost fed us raw chicken and then, while
trying to cut through the bone with a very dull knife, hits the chicken
and gets chicken grease all over Soeur M. It was hilarious to say the
least! We wanted to get the knife away from her but she insisted.
I told you about bringing Christmas to B and
D on Christmas Eve. Still one of the best experiences. D
is eyes light up and her smile so big was a
tender mercy from the Lord. It was such a blessing to be able to do
that for them. We also visited a less active from Bulgaria and she told
us the history of her country and made us a traditional Bulgarian meal
on Christmas with beans, pickles, bread and this cake with cheese stuff
on it.
Christmas Day of course was wonderful because I got
to talk to you! You are all so wonderful and I love you! We chilled with
the T's most of the day. I love them :) It was a really nice,
peaceful day.
On to the cool stuff! Actually there isn't a whole
lot. We had quite a few lessons that fell through. People are just too
busy with the Holidays I suppose. But we decided to go knocking on some
doors. We found the address of an old ami, but the number of his home
was missing! So we ported the whole street looking for B.
Everyone said no and then told us how terrible we were for trying to
give them Salvation. It's fine. BUT we get to a small apartment
building and Soeur M beeps the button of this one apartment three times
on accident. But someone answers! "Hello?" "Hi do you know anyone named
B who lives around here?" "Yes." "You do!!!????" "Yes" "Wait are
you B??" "Yes." So we get in! We found him!! Unfortunately we
lacked another woman, so instead we set up a lesson for next week :) We
were so happy though! We hope we can help B progress :)
We finished the Plan of Salvation with S! He
is doing really well. Understand everything, but one thing he struggles
with is knowing for himself if it's actually true. So we told him to
pray about it and that we'd follow up on him on Wednesday. Also, we told
him we really want him to meet with the sisters in Angouleme so that he
can continue progressing. He agreed so hopefully we can move his date
up earlier because he is not going to be in Eysines for another three
weeks! boo!
Anyway, that's about it. Yesterday there was a
lesson on the Hastening of the work and the members got really excited.
We hope we can really help get them excited about sharing the gospel
with their friends. They can do it. Just because they live in France
doesn't mean there aren't people ready to accept. Also I ate frog thighs
yesterday. And ostrich and kangaroo.
I love you all so much! You are in my prayers.
EVERYDAY. The gospel is true and it is more and more clear to me every
day I'm here. I love you!
Love, Soeur Roberts
