Well whats new, I have a French companion and it sweet and bitter all at the same time! My French comprrhension has gone way up, self esteem up and down but overall, amazing! It was a very difficult week but a very rewarding week also. We didnt teach alot of lessons this week cause this week I never had so many people not show up to appointments, at their houses! We had over 12 "rattiez-vous" this week. Horrible but I think it was a good week overall, alot of changes and I feel now like alot depends on me, anything I want to get done is up to me, and I really enjoy it. My companion is diffently one to follow, which for me will take some time getting used to cause I did all the following but now both of us have to do it. For example this Sunday was nuts, I was asked to teach the English class during Sunday School, then direct the Primary afterwards, and talk to all my investigators and try to schedule appointments, we didnt have all the investigators we wanted at church.
You remember Danic and Serge, well they didnt show up to church and it was very disappointing so tonight we are going to go find them and find out why. So this Saturday will be my first baptism I think! Which I am way excited for and I hope that everything will work out smoothly, we are trying to get the Dad to baptise them but he is refusing so I might get the chance!! It is so surreal that they are getting baptised cause I have taught them since I have been here and NOW they are ready for baptism, wow wo excited for them and they are even more excited than me and thats hard to do!
My French companion loves to eat sugar and sleep. I figured thats what they do, eat and sleep. All he eats is sugary stuff and pasta with ketchup, which by the way not bad, but he runs out of energy sometimes so I have to give him some of my energy which I have plenty of! I really enjoy being incharge of sorts. Its really wierd but very satisfying and the same time, I dunno if this is bad but I do like it. I decide how long we work, where we work and all this stuff I really dont know. Most of the time I make it up, or so I think and then something so amazing happens, we talk to this guy who give us a referral and this referral come to church! Stuff like this has started to happen in this companionship, cool spiritual things just happen everyday, and everytime it happens I am like wow, this is amazing! I dont know how to explain it except this is not my work, I am starting to see how I am only and instrument, a tabernacle of clay in the hand s of the Lord. And I think a huge huge part of that is obedience, actually I am pretty sure that has alot to do with it, as it says in d&c130 every blessing is predicated upon our obedience. diffently learning that and I hope I will continue to learn and notice these things. I want share just one experience, we were teaching Danic and he had a question concerning his uncle, we were teaching the plan of salvation, and his question was about life after death. It was kinda of a wierd question, then the idea came to mind, moroni 7 something, towards the beginning. I really sont know what it talked about in French except I about recieving good and bad, but it really really touched him and we kept referring back to it during the whole lesson and then he wrote it out on a paper cause he liked it soo soo much. I really dont know that scripture very well, and that chapter is one of my top three favorite chapters and I dunno it was just another testimony that I dont teach, its the spirit. I love it here!
So I played basketball again today and it felt really good to run and jump and run and shoot and run, running feels so good, I need to do it more! Still can dunk by the way!haha
Well I got to go to an appointment soon so I better finish up
love ya all and remember who you are and I will see you later
love
