This week had some great experiences! Last Monday night we had a family night with a family Assetou and her son! She made us a wonderful African meal with crab and fried bananas. It was great. We talked about the model enos is by his example of faith and prayer.
The next day, we had a Rendez vous with a man who had contact us. He is from California and reminds me a lot of my brother in law! He spoke perfect English and French . No accents. We went to his house and ate lunch and his two litter girls were so cute. He wanted us over because the church has played a big role in his life. He's not a member but he grew up next to members. He loves the church and what he's seen and I hope we will get to keep working with him the only problem is is that his wife absolutely hates religion. So that's hard. But we taught the family about Christ and who he is in our lives.
We had two Rendez vous with a guy who loves genealogy. You should have seen him on the computers. Wow. He was going ham.
We passed a less active member. He answered his sonnerie (doorbell/telephone in one ) and didn't want to let us in . But I said hey 5 minutes will be alright. We walk in and the house wasn't the cleanest and there was a few boxes of 100 cigarettes. We wernt able to do much but we were able to smile and hopefully brighten his day.
We went over to an older members house. She was nice and she has a lot of questions about the church. She was a member then went less active then came back and lost a lot of what she knew. We taught about the plan of salvation. She then unloaded her entire freezer and gave us all the food she had in there. Haha it was spontaneous and weird. But hey free food.
Saturday we made our way over to a members house. She has 3 kids at home and we had lunch with them. The daughter is really cool but is slowing starting to slip. So we talked about prayer and the relationship the we have when we pray.
When we go to church it's cool to see all of our friends and really there are some super cool people in every ward. But the real reason why we go is because of that relationship we have with our heavenly father.
Then last night after chruch we went to a family home. This family was goals as the little kids of 4 years old basically taught is all about Joseph Smith's story and his example of faith.
Here's some photos. Love you all! Have a good week! Keep your covenants
Serve someone else with a smile:)

This week was really good! We had some really good Rendez vous and I learned a lot of how the French brains work with religion. Haha for us it's freedom of religion. Haha for them it's more freedom from religion. So that makes it different. But we find people everyday that we can share a gospel truth with.
Love you mom! Sounds like your having fun with the Stephens ranch!
