Elder Andersen Conference!! June 11 2014 in Nice
This week was interesting haha! Our amis are falling off the face of the earth a little bit, but it is ok we are finding cool new people! THis past Friday we did a Genealogy activity here at the institute in Lyon. We do it once every transfer. All the missionaries here in lyon come together along with some members and we set up activities in the institute and then go up and contact people and invite them to come in and participate! We are so lucky because one of the bishops here in lyon actually works for Family Search, he has some sweet stuff the family search hasn't even released yet to the public that we got to use! The spirit was so strong as we were all preparing to go out, and and he was testifying to us of Family History work. We went out and just started doing a survey with people about their families. People were sometimes rude to us at first, but when they realized that all we wanted to do was talk about their families, they lit up and were so nice haha! THere was ALWAYS an opportunity to testify and share parts of the Plan of salvation. We met one really cool young guy named darwin. He couldn't come tot he activity right away, but told us maybe he would stop by later. We kept on contacting, and after about 20 minutes we just had the idea to go back to the instituted get a different survey to try. We stopped and werent sure if it was worth it, but decided that if we had that thought we better just walk back to the institute because maybe there was someone we were supposed to meet along the way. We were walking back and voila! Darwin! He was looking for the institute! We walked back with him and he did all the activities. We asked him how he was feeling as he was filling out a paper about his grandmother and he told us he felt really good and was able to recall memories about his grandmother that he didn't realize he had nearly forgotten! We ended up teaching him right there and have another rdv with him this week!
Another little miracle, we were leaving a less actives house walking across the street and Soeur Doe tripped over a dead pigeon(they are the nex rats of france) she screams and we start laughing, a man saw and started laughing too. We talked to him and he said "hey take my number i want to come to your church" haha, alright that works! God works in mysterious ways....!!!
We will be getting transfer calls this friday morning! I have no idea what is going to happen but i will do whatever the Lord needs me to do! I cant believe i am coming up on my last transfer here in France. I love my mission so much and am so grateful for all the ways the Lord has shown me that this is His work, we are all just little instruments in helping Him realize His ultimate goal, in having all of us return unto Him! I love you all! Have a great week!!!
Love Sister Kupfer!
