Week #12 Montpellier

Dear Family, 

Great week :) but transfer news! My dearest Soeur Mod left me to go to Lyon. But I have a wonderful companion from Tahiti kinda! Marquis? Soeur O. And no that is not a Tahitian name. She's great though and I'm really excited to work with her :)

So the week! it was great like I said before :) well we had to kinda do some legal things. I started my legality in Béziers and Soeur Mod finished hers in Perpignan so we were on trains a lot. Apart from that, we had a couple cool experiences.

I'll mostly just talk about D. So she is great. I talked about her last week. So cool. On exchanges we went to pass her and she wanted us to come in which wasn't super expected just because she has this huge dissertation to do for her masters. Anyway, she talks to us and she's like hey! Shows us the picture she posted on FB of us and her for her birthday and the comments. Turns out she had friends in the church and didn't even know! They were like D these girls will change your life, read the Book of Mormon, etc. So cool right?? Then she told us she knows that she will have questions and that she knows it will take time to understand, etc. So we tried to address a couple of them right then. It was good. I love D. All of a sudden she stopped contact! WHAT? Then we got it back and went to dinner and found out that a friend of hers was sending her anti Mormon stuff and she was a bit uneasy. But she loves being around us she said. So she came to the elders baptism and she loved it. She said she felt such a peace which was cool. Before we saw the ordinance, I told her to pay special attention to how she feels. The spirit was strong. Sunday she came to church. Anyway, I really love her and I don't want to lose her, but the adversary is really pushing hard. 

Other than that, not many new things. J is doing well. We work with quite a few recent converts which is super fun. I love it. Their testimonies are on fire and they strengthen mine. We are still trying to find solid people to teach. We need the ward's help so hopefully we'll find some souls to save :) 

OH MIRACLE!  E. Remember her? So Our last night together after we walked D home, we decided to pass E. Soeur Mod really wanted to just see. Well the spirit was working on her because we got there and E let us in. We talked, caught up. I love E. I'm so glad she doesn't actually hate us :)

That's all folks. I really love you all and I hope you are doing well. I know the gospel is true. Like Elder Andersen said in his last conference talk, the Gospel is going to grow and change the lives of many, but as that grows so will the influence and power of the adversary. But don't worry. We are on the right team, and we've already won :) let's try to bring as many people we can on the winning side. I love you all. This gospel is the only true gospel on the earth and I know it with all my heart. 

Love, Soeur Roberts
