Mommacita and family!!!
This week was the best week ever!!!! So first of all Soeur Eyre and I went on exhcanges in Guadeloupe!! I sent some pictures of that!! so fun and so much learning happened, and a lot of travel which makes you a little tired, but you dont get to rest! You just go straight to work!! But its the work that I love!!!! or maybe, Soeur Eyre and I like to call it TEACHING. Teaching is so fun!!!!
So Guadeloupe first day was in Moule with the sisters. I was with Soeur Guernsey my old companion, second in Abymes, I was with soeur Dorsan my old companion, third in Goyave, back to my area!! I was with Soeur Vance one of Soeur Eyres old companions!!! That was tuesday, wednesday then friday. Overall it was awesome!!! I learned a lot and just tried to help hasten the work with all these Soeurs! ! I figure Tressa and mom will profit from this paragraph, the most in wanting to know what I did this week.
But then we got back and we were really tired!! but we didnt stop! We had the greatest weekly planning session, where we just had all these amazing goals, and we just went out and preached to people!! This sunday at church I realzed that if I've done all i can to teach the doctrine clearly and invited my investigators to act, I"ve done my part. But some amazing things happened this week!! Wo we went to Rose saturday night with that awesome family the Occoliers, and we taught about the priesthood and Frere Occolier gave her a priesthood blessing! She was so appreciative! That was the first time I had been there for a blessing for an investigator of mine and the spirit was so strong!! Even thought she was still sick she came to church again! It was testimony meeting and someone bore their testimony about how grateful they were that the missionaries knocked on their door, and Rose looked at us and smiled!! After she said she wanted to bare her testimony about the priesthood blesssing she got! She was telling her awesome member friend (my temp 65 year old comp Soeur Saint Catherine) that she couldn't sleep all week, but the night after she got the blessing, she slept SO GOOD!! ROSE IS AMAZING!!!
Then sunday afternoon we were down in the bourg of Vauclin which is like the boardwalk kind of, so beautiful!! Anyways so we get out and I'm like Soeur Eyre lets go talk to this guy!! so we do! His name is Cristophe!! and hes 19 and I said 'Cristophe the Lord needs you to serve a mission!' so first of all, Soeur Occolier had told me that she has this vision of someone from Vauclin serving a mission! Soeur Eyre and I have been looking for this someone!!!! anyways so we start talking to Cristophe, and he just like gets it! an honest seeker of truth!!!! He said 'what about all the people who aren't baptized by this authority?' I dont know that wasn't a good example of a question he had, but it was awesome! We showed him where the Occoliers lived and it started raining so we had to pull over and teach him some more, haha but it was just aweosme. SO PREPARED!!! This morning he sent us a text with some more questions he had! so great! Then after that we ran into this girl Melissa who was smoking, but we called her to repentance and she jetted it! jet in french mean throw. JETTING JOINTS FOR JESUS! thats what Soeur Eyre and I said.
Anyways this week was awesome. I love preach my gospel, its so right! I'm just trying to teach with power and authority and build the church here! We're looking for kingdom builders!! and the Lord will give them to us! This work is all hingent upon our faith!! I'm also looking for a less active family. I'm gonna find them and bring them back, I just know it!! anyways, this week was the best.
Love you all! Have a good week!!
