Ma chere famille,
It's starting to get hot again down here, but I am LOVING it. After the cold winter, (well, cold for me...) I whine no more. hah. But Soeur Beagles is worst than pup. The words that leave her mouth the most often are, "il fait chaud..." It's hot But I'm sure that that was me too, so maybe she'll appreciate it in a year.
This week was fantastic! I love these people, and I love being a missionary and inviting people to come unto Christ. Something that it talks a lot about in the Book of Mormon with all the missionaries is BOLDNESS. And that is something that is funnn. J'aime bien. I like it I'm learning to be bold, and when the Spirit inspires to talk, to invite, to chasten (always with love.) But it's the best! Bien sur Of course, I need to be better and have more faith and invite more, but it's just so exciting to be doing this work and helping my brothers and sisters to come unto Christ.
This week we worked lots with the members again, which I love, and we had lots of lessons with one of our amis, Nathanael. He is 11, and we want to teach his mother too, but she is always working. So right now we are teaching just him. And I have never met anyone with more energy and who couldn't sit still for 5 mins at a time. It was hard at first, a definite test of patience, but we had a few miracles with him this week. First off, he sat like a statue pendant 20 minutes watching "the restoration." I was shocked. And he's been better in general this week. It's incredible. Studying the gospel changes behavior faster than studying behavior changes behavior. (see PMG page 19, je pense I think.)
We recontacted an ancien ami this week too. Her name is Therese, and she is incredible! She has so much faith! She is Wallisien and Catholic and we had a fantastic first lesson with her! We invited her to be baptised and she said yes. The problem is going to be finding a way to gete her to church, because she has a mari husband and 6 enfants children. And no car. And all the members are full up. But I know that we'll find a way!
And we've been working on the musical fireside as always, which has been fun. I didn't think that :"This is the Christ" was gonna be possible at first, but now it's looking better. And the cello guy hasn't called me, so I'm hoping to at least touch a violin this week, cause I gotta start learning that if it's gonna be on violin. I'm really excited for this. It's a little stressful, but I'm praying and we're working hard so that everything will hopefully come together. There's not much time left.
I love you family! Thank you for your love and prayers and support! I need addresses for Laura Bizull Gladson and Kalei if I could get those for next week. Love you! This work is the work of salvation! So do it! It will be the best blessing that you have in your lives. I promise!
