Hello EVERYBODY!!!

So this week has been the best week since I have been here in Amiens! We found 4 new amis! It was a great miracle.  Another thing that happened this week is that President and Soeur Poznanski are gone, but I will start talking about our week.

So the first part of this week was when we were contacting in centre ville. I contacted this lady and she said she was Catholic and she recognized us as being "Mormon" and not as "Johovah Witnesses" like everyone else thinks we are.  I asked if we could share our message with her.  She said yes and invited us to go get a coffee so we can sit down and talk. I said, "Sure, but we don't drink coffee though" (haha...she'll find out about that later). We taught the Restoration while I was drinking my Fanta, and Elder Willden his lemonade and she was drinking her coffee. She had a lot of questions but she said she wants to hear more and that she and her husband have been having a lot of doubts. She isn't a new ami yet but I just wanted to share that story because it is cool. 

Our amis are this one guy named Olivier which we actually taught him the first week of this transfer but haven't been able to get a hold of him until now. We will be seeing him next week.

The other one is a guy named Gregory. He lives all alone and he if a very very timid guy and all he talks about is how he wants a girlfriend and how he is depressed and he sometimes thinks about suicide. I am glad we could meet him so he can have some friends in his life.

The other two people are a young family that we met. The father's name is Pablo (he is from Spain) and his wife's name is Noelise.  She is from French Guiana). We had a great lesson with them about the Restoration and they are really involved with God and teaching their children to believe in God. I am so happy that we were able to find them because families are hard to find especially golden ones like this family.

Other than that, this week we had our last Zone Conference with the Poznanski's.  It is sad that they are leaving because they have done a lot for me, this mission and our Savior, but I am really exited to see President Babin and his wife!!!

So I hope you guys have had a great week! Have a great one this week too!

Love you guys!
