Hello everyone!!!

So this week has been really good! This whole week everybody is leaving on vacation which really stinks but the great thing is that we have been teaching Gregory, one of our amis, pretty much everyday!  He is progressing a lot!

So Gregory lives all alone and we are pretty much his only friends besides a retired Catholic priest called Pere Joseph who takes him out for coffee. Gregory is very timid and gets depressed a lot because he is all alone.  Gregory came to our Family Home Evening this Monday and he loved it. He said he feels really good at our Church.

We have to teach him very slow and testify to him a lot but he is praying every night and he says it helps him. I feel so bad for him because one time in a lesson he showed us that he cuts himself and that he is really depressed. I felt so much of God's love for him and how much God just wants him to be happy because that is what God wants for all of us.  Every time he sees us he is so happy. It is a great thing when we can make someone else's life better because when you do then it makes your life so much better too.

We taught the Plan of Salvation with Gregory and on Sunday he came to church as well!!  He says he is going to come to church every Sunday and to every Family Home Evening! He lives a long ways away too.  This Sunday we were able to fix a baptismal date with Gregory for the 2nd of August. I love Amiens a lot and I am so grateful to be able to see a lot of miracles here.

I also got a package from my dearest lovely sister, Marina, AKA Sister Peterson. That really made my week as well!! Thanks!!! LOVE YOU!!!

I hope you guys have a great week!

Love you all!!!
