We got calls and Soeur De Oliveira and I are staying here in Lyon for our 3rd transfer together!! We are both so happy!!! I am a little bit shocked that this is my last transfer here in France, but that only gives me a greater drive to "lay it all out on the field" its the last inning and im not going to mess it up! We have had an amazing week, truly we have been blessed with so many miracles! Last Monday night we started an exchange, i was with a missionary her name is Soeur Grunke (she is german!). We were on our way home around 840 when we started talking to a man named Geri, he is from congo! He was so great and we fixed a rdv with him for a couple days later. Soeur Doe and I taught him a couple times this past week. We taught him the restoration and read with him the Moronis Promise in the Book Of Mormon. When he was finished reading it, he said i know this book is true. He said it is by the power of the Hold Ghost that we can know the truth and the Holy Ghost has testified to me that this is True. He said he would start reading it and accepted a baptismal date for the 27th of September! He came to church on Sunday and loved how centered everything was on the family and how much we learn together, he is so great i love him! Next miracle! We Taught our ami Joy, who is from Nigeria(teaching in English is so weird). She is pregnant and is due the 22nd of september! She was taught by missionaries a little bit in Nice a year ago but lost contact with the church. We taught her the plan of salvation and it touched her so much, she said that in Nice she was working towards baptism and that she is ready to start working towards that again. We set a date for the 25 of October! I love her so much, she is so sweet and has so much faith! We also taught Darwin this week, he had studied up on the church, which can be bad sometimes because there is so much anti mormon literature online, but the spirit was there and his heart was open to the truth! He made some friends with some young adults and we are going to do an activity with them!! The work really is starting to kick off!
Something funny, yesterday we taught gospel principles, the lesson was on honesty and it was great! Then at the end a member who is not completely there stood up, faced the class of about 20 people and started preaching- only problem, she said the "s" word like 10 times! We tried to stop her haha, but she wouldn't! The other missionaries were just dying, covering their faces, no help. Ohhh mannn! The adventures we see at church... Im going to miss the uncertainty haha!
I love you guys so much! I truly know that this is Christ Church, we are not perfect and sometimes we feel like so much is asked of us, or like we are not capable of accomplishing all we are called to do. THose feelings are ok as long as we take that sense of inadequacy and turn towords our Savior. I know His grace is sufficient for each of us! I love Him for His continual aide. I love you all have a great week!!
