I can't really remember my week..it was pretty busy though. Lots of miracles.
We did really well with teaching with members this week! We taught our ami Mikaël with Sr. Letort (this is more for my memory I know you don't know these people haha) and it was 2 hours long. He came to the baptism last week and really was just searching for answers. He is having a midlife crisis and just sold his home and is leaving sans portable for who knows how long or where with a backpack and his Book of Mormon. So it was like a keep your butt here and get baptized and have that kind of restart lesson. We taught about half the lessons and he asked question after question. Sr Letort was on fire but he is still leaving but he will be back and we know it, it's okay #Godsplan :')
We also had exchanges twice this week. The first time me and Soeur Packard just had a good old time in really freaky Batiments. A Satan worshipper was blasting his deep music as he prayed. I'm serious we ran so fast then got chased by a homeless guys dog (all homeless people have freaky dogs here and look like pirates. I'll get a picture. I don't understand it) then we stopped because there was this old couch sitting on the side walk so we took a lot of pictures sitting in it. And we sat down by a bunch of people and preached the bon parole de Dieu. #ministering
Okay, and then the bus story... I attached as a voice recording. That happened Saturday. First time I've been mocked liked that my whole mission. Like I've had obviously individuals or tiny groups of people but not like that. I was a little ball of anger right after haha not gonna lie :) what a rush
Then yes we taught a beautiful family from Kenya. Amazing amazing like so amazing they are searching for a Church and they are just so put together, their house was so clean and just the kids participated and were well behaved. They speak English, French and Swahili. So yeah me and Sr Packard just had an exciting time together.
Okay, then Sunday comes and I just was not excited. I'm sorry I really hate Sundays on the mission it's just Nay being a little stress monster all day usually because I forget to get a coke in advance. But anyway we went to the JA class because none of our amis showed up for amis class :( Then we get a text and the other missionaries are like come here you have an ami! We were like comment. So we go at the end and it was Akil. A man from Iraq that we met on the street Saturday. We had given him a Book of Mormon and explained the Plan of Salvation to him, I wrote the address in the book and was kind of like if he comes he comes but he didn't seem too interested, he is Muslim. Well he came and they talked about eternal families in Gospel Principles and he explained to us that like 3 of his brothers were killed as rebellions. Anyway, just sad stories but we asked for a return rendezvous and he said yes Wednesday afternoon I will make a cake and we will talk over tea. So sweet!
Then after church we had a rendezvous with Yoanne, he is in charge of the JA or the young adults. He is so cool my goodness. And then we went to the sketchy batiments to pass by some friends. We met a guy named Oscar on the bus who has member family in Congo. He read the introduction to the Book of Mormon and was like what the heck this makes so much sense so we rode that bus to the terminus where he got off and then had to sit there to go back with a bunch of sketchy people it's okay, Oscar was a miracle !
I'm a little energy ball but I'm also super tired so I'm probably pretty frightening honestly. I can't even sit still to do an hour or 30 minutes of calls. I used to love weekly planning and now I try to squish it into 15 minutes.
Voilà I've survived this week Par la Grâce de Dieu
Sœur Nay
