last week, Elder Murdock and I did a whole ton of contacting, and porting ( tracting). it was more that what i have usually done! it was hard and pretty cold because it is close to christmas, which means its usally pretty cold, unless your in the tropics *cough* friends toward the Equator. it always feels so satifying to find those people who want to follow Jesus Christ!
ahh and now for my french that i work everyday on. there is this elder whos a native french speaker and idk, my goal is to speak great french. so i asked this native french speaker what i should do, he said, practice reading with a pen in your mouth, so you have to try hard to pronounce the words. so its pretty funny, just imagine me trying to pronouch all these frenche R's and OU's with a pen in my mouth, its pretty great.
Last Monday, It was our Christmas Conference!! it was so great and President and Sister Brown came down to toulouse for it and we had such a great timme! we made little baggys with candy in it, and a "light the world" card in it and went out and gave it to some people!.. theres alot of poeple who dont like candy much.. haha it was alot of fun and we met some really cool people!
we ate a whole bunch, and laughed a whole ton, and watched some proformances from missionaries, it was super great!
also this week we went back to Aix en Provence for my companions legality, we woke up at 5 A.M. which.. if anyone on amission knows. sleep is valuable. haha that was hard and the train wasnt super confortable. but we made it safely and it was a smooth ride!
we had some really great lessons with people this week. some Amis, Recent Converts, and Members. its alot alot of fun around christmas time! one of our amis, her name is Maire, she is super sweet, she loves to follow jesus christ, she is just having a problem with church athority because she thinks every church with the name Jesus christ is the ONE! haha but she is super charitable. she talks a whole lot, but for this christmas season, she siad, me and my comp are like her sons, and that she loves us, she gave us for christmas a super cool scarf and gloves and some l'eau de toilette. it was super nice of her and i was touched my that.
love you guys, thanks for all your examples of followers of Christ.
love,
Elder Bennett
