Montpellier Week #10


Dear Family, 

Happy Mother's Day! It was so great talking to you. I love you all so much! 

So yes, J was baptized and confirmed this weekend! It was really awesome. We were super busy running around doing last minute things, so we were a tad stressed. She wanted me to buy her what I understood to be a bouquet of white lilies, but apparently she told soeur mod she wanted them small so she could put them in her hair. So we just plucked some petals off and put them in like that :) It is always such a blessing to see people enter the waters of baptism. After she went under she came up and started crying. We thought it was just the overwhelming of the spirit, but i guess she actually hit her toe!  I'm sure the spirit was apart of the tears too though. And the when she was confirmed she cried again, but this time i think it was all the spirit. I love J. Her testimony is really so very strong.She is going to do so well.We pray for her everyday. 

We are a little slow on work right now. We don't have any solid amis so we are looking! We had a couple cool lessons. Well, lessons at least. E let us come back for a second lesson. We taught the first lesson and it went well. At first she was like, How did God appear to Joseph Smith and we explained how in the Bible God also appeared to Moses and to Steven and she accepted that super fast. She completely understood how a restoration was needed.  She read a bit of the Book of Mormon. Hopefully she"ll want to change her life for the Lord. 

I told you yesterday about my experience with the Catholic family. It was really just an interesting experience. The Gospel of Jesus Christ had to be restored. There is no question. We need to have a prophet. No question. I can't describe the difference in feelings I felt, but the spirit really testifies of truth and it testified to me in a way I hadn't really felt before. But in any case, I know even more how true this church is. We have the restored truths on the earth today. I testify that this is Christ's church, in its fullness. 

There isn't a whole bunch else. I got harassed by drunk college boys Sunday morning. that was annoying. But i talked to a really nice girl who wasn't interested, but we are friends now so that's a plus!  I'm sorry this is a boring email. But i love you all so much and I pray for you every day :) I know this gospel is true, in case you didn't believe me before :)

Love Soeur Roberts
