Bonjour tout le monde!
I think I mentioned it before, but
there's this graffiti tag that we see EVERYWHERE in Vallee des Colons: PAIN RIZ
MAYO [bread, rice, mayo] hahaha! I took about 7 more pictures of it in
different places during the week. It just makes me laugh :)
Good news! Our ami Lucien now has a
baptism date for April 16th, not in September! This week when we saw him,
we decided to pick a date exactly a month away to push him a little. Then we
talked about how he already has the desire to be baptized and he's making the
changes in his life already. His testimony is growing as he's seeing the Gospel
improve his life. That's why he accepted to advance the date of his baptism. :)
I'm super excited for him!
On Saturday morning, we played
sports at the chapel. It's part of our effort to get to know the members and
integrate our amis, but no one actually came except an ami from Vallee du Tir,
which isn't even in our district... and eventually one member. So we just ended
up playing with them a little and mostly just among us missionaries for the
most part. We're hoping the members will start coming more! It has been raining
the past two Saturdays, so that's a reason why they don't come, I guess.
Hopefully it'll be nice this Saturday so people will come!
The rest of our week was good, but
nothing super special. We just keep working in our secteur with the amis who
want to see us, haha. We lost two amis this week: one who just straight out
told us that she doesn't want to have the lessons anymore and another who just
avoids us. And there's another who keeps rescheduling her lessons, but I know
she's still interested. She's just busy because she works a lot during the
week. We were only seeing her on Saturdays, but now her family is in town so
she's even more busy... Sad. But I know we'll get to see her again eventually!
In other news, we're having a
full-mission meeting with President tomorrow morning. He's here to
introduce the new senior couple who is going to be working in the bureau here
in New Cal. They're American, but they speak French, so that's cool :) So tomorrow I
get to see everyone in the mission! It's cool to be in such a small mission
because you can get to know everyone. And, like I said last week, we'll have
the transfer news at the end of this week, so next Monday you'll all know
where I'm headed (or if I stay here.) We'll see!
I'm loving my mission! New Cal is an
amazing place, and it's so cool to see so many different cultures all mixed
together in one place. And it's even cooler to see how the Gospel is for
everyone, no matter their background or race or how much money they have. The
Gospel brings joy and peace to everyone! :)
Bonne semaine!! Je vous aime!!
