Dear Mom, Dad, and
rest of the children,
So this week was
really a great week! Like probably in the list of top 5 best weeks in France.
Probably.
So Monday night we
finally found this less active who we have been trying to get in contact with
since last transfer! She was home and immediately she started talking about the
gospel. It's been about 15 years or so. Maybe 20. But she is so nice and wants to
come back. Awkward thing #1. Her ex husband, who she despises, is in our ward
and #2 She has statues and paintings all over her home of nude women. Like some
of it is not "art" if you know what I mean. Good thing the elders
didn't find her! haha yeah we don't know how to handle that... But we were so
happy!!! :)
Then Tuesday we had
another less active miracle. We regularly visit this sister from Bulgaria and
this time her less active son also joined us for the lesson! He hasn't wanted
to join us since I was first here in Bordeaux and it was a great lesson and he
agreed to play ping pong with the elders :) we are pretty happy about that. He
is such a nice kid.
We were able to get
three new investigators this week! First was A. We met him contacting on the
way to a lesson. We talked about hats and then he was like WHO ARE YOU? So we
answered and right away he was like oh! Come visit me. Here's my address. So we
did and we found out that he travels to Germany a lot and actually met elders
there who knew French. So then he met us. Miracle? I think yes. He is super
nice. We got him a Book of Mormon in Malagasy and French and he was so excited.
We'll be teaching him this week :)
Then T our
Jehovah's witness. We had a lesson with him on the restoration and the beginning
was super good, clear, simple. He seemed to understand. Then he starting asking
questions like who is the author of the bible? Where exactly was Christ killed?
And he was very interested in the timing of the Book of Mormon.He wouldn't pray with us,
which is strange, but he finally accepted the Book of Mormon and said he needed
to do research about the timing, etc. So we have another visit with him next
week.
Then A! From
Tahiti SUPER sweet. Was actually taught about a year ago, but lost contact. So
we had set up a lesson with a member but he cancelled 15 minutes before the
lesson. BOO. It's fine. We are waiting at the tram stop and we see cute Tahitian
girls with flowers in their hair and assume it's her. That's great, she brought
a friend! When we get to the institute building we go around and introduce
ourselves. Turns out her friend is actually a member since 2008. Can you believe
that? Miracle again. It was a great lesson. She has a whole lot of faith. We
hope we can help understand the need for one restored church, because she is
one of those "anyone who talks about God is good." Got another lesson
for next week :)
And then we are now
teaching a very sweet 9 year old who's mom is less active, but living all the
principles at home and her dad is Muslim, but not practicing. The mom really
wants her daughter to be baptized, we just need to help them get into the habit
of going to church :) They are a very, very sweet family so we are super
excited about that.
I think that's about
it on exciting things. This week we are super busy, which is ideal for a
missionary. I can't believe only two weeks left in this transfer!
I love you all! I hope
you are doing well :) I want you to know I love you and I know this church is
true with all my heart. It is the only way to real happiness, I promise you.
Love, Soeur
Roberts
PS A is back in Bordeaux for a couple of weeks. Seeing
her tomorrow! There is still a chance! :)
