Hello. Who knew the week i got
denied by BYU would turn out to be the best week of my life! Like that was a
bummer but such is life! Idaho will have
to do. Like I don’t even know where to
begin this week. I could go on for days
with all of the miracles we were able to see. We taught 16 lessons. Pretty dang high. Found 5 new amis. Super high. Got let in while porting 4 times!!!! WAY HIGH.
But like lets be real I don’t care about
the stats. Its the PEOPLE! Every single person that we met was SO
golden! We found many future baptisms
this week!
About a week ago I got the hint from
President that I would probably be leaving, so I put everything I had into the work this last
week here in Caen (which I obviously do every week but we really worked our
tailz off this week). I read about two weeks ago in PMG "leave your sector better then you found
it." I have read this a million
times but this time it really hit me. The work in Caen has been pretty dang
hard but I don’t want the next missionary who will follow me to think that when
he gets here! After lots of prayer and
lots of work the Lord helped me and my comp to leave our secteur 5x better than
the way we found it! The next missionary
that gets here is going to have a ton of new people to work with and he will
feel as if Caen is the best city tin the mission. Just the way he deserves it!
On the other hand I will be going to
a new villa. I am going to be opening up
a new team in Compiègne! And i will be
training! I’m pretty pumped. I am excited to be able to finish my mission
with a pretty big job. Should be a good
time. I love training as well so that
will be fun. I went on exchanges in this
villa about 8 months ago so I remember it pretty well. It’s going to be weird to not be a ZL but I’m
excited for the change. I know the Lord
needs me in Compiègne. It’s a small
branch I believe.
So this week we were at the store
buying some tolitte paper. Pretty
essential. So while we were buying some of that stuff, some random guy walked up to us and asked us to pray for him. I said "Yes! We would love to. Maybe we could do it right
now. Do you live nearby? We would love to go to your house and pray
with you?" With some hesitation and
a crooked face he looked at me and said... "OK. Why not."
YESSSSSSS! It’s moments
like that that you never forget as a missionary. So we went to his house and prayed. Had a super good lesson. Went back on Wednesday and we are going back
tonight with a members of the church! That
was just the first miracle of the week. Things just kept getting better after
that.
Two people that we contacted in the
road came to the church and we prayed, gave them a tour, and had some solid
lessons. And on top of that we got let
in 4 times. I can’t remember a week in all of my life where I was blessed so
much by the hand of the Lord.
Last story? One night we were looking for a members house
without much success. We looked and
looked. And at one point we were looking
and reading all of the mail boxes in the area. After reading all of the mail
boxes and finding nothing I pretty much just gave up and decided it was time to
go home and eat and make some phone calls. My comp was not in agreeance. He said we must knock on at least one door. I said "okay, whatever floats your boat
dude." Well that dude floated the friggin boat! First
door we knocked on was a success! Went
in, prayed, shared the restoration, left, and will be going back soon! Spirit was strong. Not my proudest moment but that’s what compz
are for!
Well not much more time. One thing I must add, I am LEGALLY blind. I can’t see at all haha. It’s
Thanks for your prayers! LOVE YOU!
