WOW! okay so iwasnt able to write a big weekly last week because we were short on time to write! but ill make up for it on this email!
okay! so to start back it was my comps Bday a few days ago and we went to a members home whos about 20 years old and made a little cookie cake think and just had a good time! so shout out to my comp, happy bday elder Roemer.
the story of the "path to Miradoux"
okay, so once upon a time, me and my comp just got out of a great meal with a member and we are walking to
our bus stop. i check our phone and we see a text. we got a text saying that someone from Miradoux wanted to get a book of mormon! so super exciting! we make plans to go out there the next day. we take about a 50 minute bus ride out there, which while on the bus ride we talked with a women who wanted to buy a book of mormon.( which is rare, usually its hard just to give them away free!) then we were dropped off at Sainte marie ( not Miradoux yet) we thought there would be a bus that would go to this small town of miradoux. but nothing. so we walked, and walked and walked. for about 20 kelometers that one trip. but it was great! the scenes are beautiful witht the roling hills of france we also found a little fruit that was realy weird and we have no idea what it was. but theres a picture down below. ! we finally got the the little town and we were looking for the address number 1. and there is like 7 or 8 houses with 1 on it. so we got to guess. ended up finding the guy with his name on his mailbox. knocked on the door. turns out, this guy is not interesteed and it was ajoke that someone put in his information. but jokes on him. we found two new amis ( investiagtors) from that trip! so all in all it all worked out!

okay! i also want to talk about the Character of Christ. there is a film in the MTC that talked about this, the Character of Christ is turning outward, when the natural man would turn inward. its when turning outward on self pity, and helping others! and i am so impressed with how often i am seeing in here. there is a member in our branch and is so good at this. there is a few kids that just cant sit still. while i and some members sit there thiinking to ourselves" ah why cant they sit still or be quite" but this lady does something about it. she goes and help the sitiation, i am trying to learn how to beetter first think like that. think of others. help others. becasue thats why im here, in france, for others:)
anyways! love you all and i hope all is going great!
Love,
Elder Bennett
