The Elect ♡

Salut salut!

Good week, of course a little exhausting but that's just life.

Monday: we gave out 4 Book of Mormons. We are only 5 books away from reaching our goal of 50 for the transfer!

Tuesday: We passed by Annabelle! I'm going home in 2 weeks so I take that as a pass to just do whatever I want. I really digged to see what her soucis were with baptism and she opened up so much. And because she is crazy she learns a lot of different languages and she is currently working on Chinois so I told her that President Nelson speaks Chinois and she was soooo happy !! And agreed to come to church again and she did!

Wednesday: We taught Akil with Ana again and he asked a lot of really weird questions...aye. But he came to church again 👍🏻 We also taught the most amazing lady ever, ZENON.  We met her last week on exchanges and this was our first rendezvouz.  It was so great just as soon as she walked into the church. She literally ran into the sacrament meeting room. She's from Congo and has been here for 2 yrs but like is already working and is just so put together. AND she lives on the C6 bus line, the one that still goes to the church on Sundays. Madames et Monsieurs, we found ourselves an elect 🎉😍😭 we had a great rendezvous and she accepted a soft baptismal invite!

Jeudi: not too much happened. We got stuck in a really creepy foyer but that was about it on the finding side of things. Then had interviews with President. I have begun praying for marriage, I picked the date of September 24th. I think it will make me stretch but with proper plans I think it can happen.

Vendredi: Zone Conference! It was chill, the whole Sorensen family came including their oldest daughter who just got home from Norway last week. So crazy, I met her in the MTC. Comment. I got to see LaFrance again as well :') There are 4 of us going home from my zone. After zone conference we had a mangezvous at a couples home from our ward. We didn't eat though because they are very against missionary work and we sat there like 🤨😒😌😴 as they went off for an hour. They sent us home with grilled cheese sandwiches and cherry tomatoes so I ain't mad.

Saturday: We saw Juliette and ate foufou. Ummm yuck. But that's okay better than eating crickets like she was originally planning. We taught word of wisdom and she was basically like oh gosh I'll try..She got this. I love my African mammy.

Sunday: so yeah Akil and Annabelle came and Juliette came too and sat next to me. The last song was Seigneur Mon Dieu, her favorite and the one we sing with her every visit and she knows it word for word. Oh man I cried! We had another ami come in time for Sunday School and then he stayed for the rest and for the repas after. He is into voodoo and was not my favorite person so at the end of the meal I was like when is your bus coming. Oops. But enough about him Josué and Chari were just looking so classy and stood there greeting everyone at the beginning of church and Josué was inviting everyone (including our annoying ami) to his baptism. He is so excited I just can't believe it, oh gosh I'm crying as I type, this was not scheduled. I was talking to him and Chari and they were joking about when they met me on the street and I was like Josué remember when you came to General Conference and knew you should get baptized.. Chari was like now I'm going to baptize you, you are a newborn babe!! And then Josué was like I'm not going to sleep this week like I'll be waking up every hour on Friday night checking my clock then I will wake up at 8 and keep checking my watch, head to republique still checking what time it is, get to the chapel and get baptized.  I just can't believe God's timing like Chari is just such a good member just good for everyone just builds up the ward and Josué is just ready to go. I'm just so happy for them my goodness.
Haha after we took the picture together of the 4 of us, Chari goes to Burrup and says that is not enough space for the holy ghost 😂  I was super tired after church though. During the repas I was teaching Akil and Voodoo guy the plan of salvation entirely and answering all of their questions and just yeah I'm ready for Sundays to be tranquille again. I wish I could just be a normal member in Rennes on Sundays.

We have an exciting week! We are going to Vitré for pday, going to see Michelle in Combourg tomorrow, then exchanges and baptism and just good good stuff. Yeah life is really good. I'm tired but life is good.

Can't wait to see you guys in like what 17 days? 😘 I had a dream that I hated being home so I'm getting kind of scared like digging in the heels. How bout y'all come to Rennes instead?? Yeah alrighty bisous bye
