Sprint through the starting line

Happy Pday everyone! I hope you're all doing good! This week was a great week out there in the West side of France .  

It's been 2 years writing emails and I still feel like I'm winging it each time.. 

We had a chance to go to poitiers and do some exchanges. I was able to see Hervé and charlot. They were baptised while I was there in poitiers and have been the the temple in Paris since. Their testimonies are growing so strong and I have strongly been touched by their examples. 

We had some great Meetings with an friend that we had found a while ago. He's name is David. He at first wasn't super interested in our message because he didn't feel clean enough to talk about God. As we have been taking with him and he has been reading the book of Mormon he has been understanding the love that God has for him. Keep him in your prayers and he will continue to progress. 

We had district meeting this week and we talk about obedience and how important this quality is. We are tied to God when we are obedient. How important that is to be tied to God. 

We had stake conference this week. We travelled down to Bordeaux and I was able to see 5 of my ward I served in. How grateful I am for these wonderful people I have met. The greatest blessing for me to know these people. 

The more I study the more I am thankful for the Book of Mormon and the witness it gives. The only thing you need to know about this church is that it's TRUE. 

Love you all:)

WEEK 100

Hey y'all! 

I hope you're all doing good, we are doing good here in Angoulême France. It has been getting very hot out and so we are having a good time getting that missionary tan line...

These week we had some exchanges and I was with a friend in poitiers. So I was able to see some old members and friends.  Along with that I learned some great missionary lessons from th at day. 

We went on Wednesday and did some service with some members. We started a fire with the permission of the man of the house and then a few minutes later . His wife came out and was getting really stressed that the fire men were going to come and get mad at us.. We shoveled dirt on and put out the fire. While there we went to borrow a spade from a neighbour and we walked in and there was a baby fawn in the house. Very interesting house and people in the middle of a no name village. Haha 

We were able to see many friends and teach the lessons too them. 

I'm trying to soak up every minute of these last moments. 

I love you all.
