I had a good long week. And so did you...
Tuesday we did a whole ton of finding by contacting but we had a lot of solid contacts so it was just fun. Then we went to a bye-bye milkshake reunion with our JA. This ward's JA...I just love them.
Wednesday..saddest day ever. Woke up early so we could go to the gare to say goodbye to Thomas. Ow. Then we did finding then we had a picnic at parc du thabor to say goodbye to Lafrance (he had a later train the opposite direction) It was like saying goodbye to Camden again the little punks. But we will see him at zone conference :') Wednesday afternoon we had straight finding as well. I can't walk in a circle all day so we went through the old area books and entered all the fiches into our maps that only had an address and no numbers (these never get done, no one ever actually gets to passbys) and we picked an area where there were a few and went! First one was a lady who had a baptismal date back in 2012 who lived in this ginormous batiment. She answered and let us in and we had a lesson with her and her like 25ish yr old son Thomas. He is super interested!!
Thursday we went and saw Juliette all together. We really got into baptism and after this whole weekend she has decided that this church is true and she is tout disposer to be baptized !! MIRACLE. She also made us plantains and chicken 😋 and sang and danced for us. I love her so much.
Friday we had district meeting. Elder Benson who was with me in the Charleroi District in Belgium for two transfers is my district leader, he is in St.Brieuc right now. We have an 8 person district but for some reason it feels so tiny. Then that night there was just a lot going on so we went on splits and me and Burrup taught their amazing amie Maeva and it was just great! Wasn't it burrup? :')
Saturday!! Okay so amazing day. A man named Chari that we met on that most awkward street corner 6 weeks ago got baptized. When we met him on the street he just kind of seemed like he was mocking us but he gave us his number he showed up to a rendezvous we set and we passed him to the Elders because we didn't know if he was weird or not before the rendezvous. Well he isn't, he is so sincere and so ready to serve in the church, he already hasn't missed a week since we met him. Juliette came to the baptism and I told her that he was from Cameroon and she waddled up to him with a huge smile on her face and told him where she was from and he was so touched. He was like I don't feel alone today! His testimony was hilarious. He told everyone how that day we contacted him, 3 different equipes of missionaries had stopped him. He had taken a Book of Mormon 3 times and was planning on rejecting us when we called like he had done in the past. But then he realized that God had placed each and every one of us in his path that day, he was so stubborn that that was what it was going to take. Well now he is baptized, got 'em. Koroma, an amie of Burrup and Packard also got baptized after 6 weeks of being taught. He is just the sweetest little guy. Then we went to lunch with the JA and dinner with the Bishop's family :)
Sunday! The two of them got confirmed while wearing white shirts and ties. And Josué came!! If you remember him from like April, he was a miracle find and came to conference then had a hard time coming because he was in Paris a lot. He has been to church two times since then, always wearing the most amazing booboos. Him and Chari are best friends now and Chari is going to baptize him, he believes next Sunday but it will most likely be in August haha. Aren't they so cool.
Then Sunday afternoon, we all ate Quail eggs raw, I'll send you the video! Then us Soeurs had a batiment bat off at the huge buildings where we did pass bys. We only got through three floors and found 4 families to teach this week!! Too good. Voilà
Today we are going to a lake beach with the JA and playing sports and just chillin maybe doing some shopping... surprise surprise you might get a package this week.
Me and Burrup also danced a lot this week. She's a real good tango partner hehe.
Okay good luck Cam! If you're bored just write me emails and draw me some pictures. 😘
I'm sorry about your grandpa back dad. Get well soon :/
Bye Felicias
