Bonjour ma famille!
This week literally flew by! We were always busy, but now that
I'm sitting down to write to you, I have no idea what to say!
Ummm... Marie-Christine is still good to go for her baptism on
Saturday! Woo hoo! We had a soiree familiale [Family Home Evening] with her and her son and his wife on
Monday and it was really nice. They're so humble! They don't have much
money or anything, but they still offered us the best that they had: dinde et
puree (turkey and mashed potatoes) and yogurt for dessert. And they gave us the
rest of the yogurt to take home. This family will definitely be blessed for the
sacrifices they made to have us at their home! And Marie-Christine has been
inviting everyone in her family to her baptism (all of her kids, her mom, her sisters,
her cousins, etc.). I'm hoping they'll all come out to support her, and that
they'll feel the Spirit there!
We had a powerful experience with Moise this week. He was kind
of having a crisis and lots of doubts and anger, and he was letting it all out
on the Lord. We just let him talk, and then we asked him if he was ready to
receive the lesson that we, as representatives of Jesus Christ, were there to
share with him. The Spirit was really strong, and I really felt the power of my
calling as a missionary. I know that even though I'm a sister and I don't have
the priesthood, I still have power because I was set apart to preach the Gospel
and represent Jesus Christ. The lesson was awesome after that, and Moise really
humbled himself and accepted the message we shared with him.
We have a new amie! She's actually the sister-in-law of Moise
and the Tetuiras. They really do missionary work in their family!! Haha :) Her
name is Amelie and we talked about the plan of salvation as well as the
proclamation to the world on the family. She actually already knows that the
Church is true because she's seen the changes in her family (Moise and his
brother) and she knows that she shouldn't look any farther to find the truth.
We're going to see her again tomorrow and we're hoping she'll come to
church on Sunday!
We also started teaching the daughter of an inactive member
(Frere Maruhi, that I talked about the other week). She's grown up in the
Church but she didn't get baptized when she turned 8, and now she's 9 and she
wants to be baptized. We're hoping to fix her baptism for this month because
she's totally ready and there's no reason to wait! It's awesome because she
practically knows all of the stories about Jesus Christ and all the miracles He
performed. This little girl is so sweet and smart!
That's all the time I have for right now! Je vous aime tous!
