THIS WEEK!!! ohhhhh what a week!! well were teaching this guy who loves English, thats actually how we found him. We were doing our emails speaking in English and asked us to come talk to English with him but we told him we'd teach him about Jesus! Anyways, we reflected on this at an awesome members house as we were teaching him and he was telling the members about how we met and after we left Sœur Eyre and I decided to only speak french!! Ne parler QUE le Français!! So we started that this week!!!! woah! so awesome!! sometimes, Sœur Eyre really likes to chat and she gets a little frustrated so at night we'll speak English, but its been so amazing!! Seriously, I can express myself so well in this language!! its easier for me now to speak French! I LOVE FRENCH!! anyways, just thought I'd keep you updated :)
So, this week, well these past couple of weeks, we've had a little trial of our faith, we've had a hard time getting our investigators to Church and having serious investigators!! so saturday, we started our fast, FASTING BRINGS MIRACLES! i love fasting :) so much!! so we fasted for PEOPLE AT CHURCH!! and for referrals from the members!! I will tell you, we were feeling a little discouraged! and that is not good! all our plans had Fallen through but fasting! I have the faith that that brings miracles!! so I was ready for my miracle! So sœur eyre was just like, we need to go somwhere new!!! We go to this completely new place and before we get out of the car we say a prayer and I said 'Heavenly Father, we are fasting, we expect miracles, and we want people at Church tomorrow!' so the first door we knocked on we said, we are missionaries.... and her name was Rose! and she told us 'oh i studied with missionaries in France 20 years ago!' (shes about 60) and we said 'the Church is here on Martinique! Will you come with us tomorrow?' and she was said, 'ya why not!!' So we gave her a book of mormon and said see ya tomorrow!! So she followed us in her car all the way to Church the next day! ROSE!! she is so beautiful! It was like a miracle following us all the way to Church! I love Rose! she has beautiful french! and it was fast and testimony meeting and she was reading her book of mormon while the others shared testimonies about it. ahhhhh i just LOVE this branch! I love Martinique! there are just some beautiful Martinique families that I will just always remember forever!!
plus!! so many members in our area brought friends to Church that were going to teach this week! oh yes! its so wonderful!! i am so excited! the Lord is a Lord of miracles I know that!
