Week 6
Bonjour !
We started
the week with pretty cool miracles. We saw at least three people we had
contacted earlier and never heard of them anymore. I’ll tell about one of them, there is this
cool girl from England, she’s just the sweetest thing ever! The first time we
saw her we invited her to an activity at the church and she said she would come
but she never did. I was a bit bummed about it because I wanted to know more
about her. Didn’t think I’d ever see her. Me and my companion prayed about it
and asked our Heavenly Father to let us meet her again. Weeks passed by and we
kinda forgot about her. And on Monday as we were walking home I saw this funky
girl walking on the other side of the street. Looked just like her!! I asked my
comp if she agreed and next thing we know we are running like crazy after the
girl, just caught her before she went inside her building. Miracle! This time
we got her number and invited her to an Christmas activity.
I’m only
halfway blue !! (blue is what they call new missionaries and normally it
would be greenie but in France they call us blue) Just one more transfer and
I’m not a newbie anymore. C’est a dire
that a new transfer just began today. I
am staying in Nice and I got a new companion, Soeur Bailey. Soeur Howden ( my
previous companion got called to Chalon, it’s cold up there hah) But for me
it’s going to be Christmas in Nice. It doesn’t feel like Christmas though
without snow and absolute insane coldness, but I kinda like it this way too.
Not a fan of cold…
The 6th of December was the
independence day of Finland, I made little flags and hung them up on the wall.
And I got my companion to sing the Finlandia hymn in finnish with me, she did a
great job haha! Points for trying.
We go
running every morning, one day we decided to take a different route than
usually. After a while we ran by a house, and ohh my word what a house,
straight from creepyland. They have huge teddybears laid out on the lawn,
sitting on chairs. And they have these stuffed toy animals hanging from trees and
just all over the place. I need to take a picture, it’s so strange.
The
greatest miracle of the week happened on Sunday. We have been teaching this
mother with three young daughters for a couple of weeks and invited them many
times to attend church but they never came. Don’t really know why but I think
the mother feels like she’s not perfect enough to come to church. But after we
taught with a member present the member took action and invited them, and they came!!
Even the teenage girls. I know that
attending church will help them progress and feel the love that Heavenly Father has for them more in
their lives. Greatness.
Motivation
quote for the week: I’ll go where you
want me to go dear Lord.
Bisous, Soeur
