La Bible Devoilee and a lot of Miracles!!!
Hey everybody!!!
As you can tell this week we saw a lot of miracles and the Bible was unveiled!!! :) First off, we were able to find 4 new amis!!! Bourges is just rocking it right now!
This week we had Zone Conference and interviews which was so good! I love President Babin and his wife. I asked them how I can help my district in more ways and they gave me some good responses so hopefully I can help them more!
This week we worked hard and were able to find 4 people. One of them was really legit. Her name is Madame Lorz. She is French. We actually contacted her on Saturday and fixed a rendez-vous for later on that day. We taught her the Restoration and then invied her to read, pray, and to go to church the next day. She accepted all of them and she kept all of them as well!!! She seemed to like church a lot and she said she would come next week.
We are still teaching Madame Lebon and she is still talking a lot...haha, but she is progressing in the right direction! She did talk about this book called "La Bible Devoilee" which basically means "The Bible Unveiled." Pretty random, but then like an
hour later a Canadian Jehovah Witness tried getting in an argument about the bible. Coincidence? I think not...haha. Elder Shaver was pretty shaken up though about his Canadian brother was being so rude to us, but he was from Quebec so he wasn't too hurt. Oh Canada.
So, we go over to this one ladies house every week and eat with her and her two children. Another one we go over to eat with is Emilio. They are super funny.
I've been on exchanges so far with Elder Oviatt and Elder Smith (not my old companion).
Anyways, just Canadians and super awesome miracles this week!!! One of the best weeks on my mission. But time is just flying by...it scares me...
I hope you guys have had a great week!!!! Love you!!! :)))

"OH WE'RE HALF WAY THERE, OH LIVIN' ON A PRAYER"
Hey everyone!!!
October 13th! A year from today I will be finished with my mission!!! It is crazy to think how fast time goes by!!!
Well this week we had a pretty good week! First we had District Meeting and it was really good to see everyone in my district. We had delicious Raclette and if you don't know what that is than you better look it up because it is soooo good!!! :)
Elder Shaver and I found 2 new amis too!!! Their names are Madame Lebon and Paula. We found Madame Lebon while contacting and we talked for a while about prayer and other random stuff because she talks SO MUCH!!! haha But we finally shared the Restoration and then we went over to her house later on this week and we taught her about the Book of Mormon. During the rendez-vous we shared about prayer and we were able to pray with her by the end of it. It was so amazing how strong the spirit was in there afterwards. She was so quiet and after the prayer she just sat there for a little bit and just soaked it all in. Hopefully she realized that that was the spirit. She isn't really too believing though but she is willing to try so that it good.
Okay now for our other ami, Paula. She is from French Guinea. We shared with her the Plan of Salvation in the road and then we later went to her house and shared it more fully. She is VERY believing and she understood all of it. She even beared her testimony about during this difficult life we need to have faith and trust in the Lord. We set up another rendez-vous with her for this week!
So overall the work is progressing a lot in Bourges! I am so excited to see what happens here because this place has a lot of potential! It reminds me when I was in my blue ville and how I saw so many miracle there.
This Sunday I was able to present myself in front of the branch. This branch is dang awesome! It is like a huge family and just so loving. I have been to a lot of the member houses so far, so I am getting to know a lot of them. We even had raclette with a member here!! Oh baby!!! So gooood! :))
Here is a pic of Elder Shaver and I, oh Canadians-
Well I hope you all had a great week! Remember that God is always there for all of us and that he "will not fail thee, nor forsake thee."
Love you all!!! Until next week!!! :))))

LOOKS WHO'S BACK!!!
Hey guys! That's right!!! We have a car here in Bourges! But the big miracle about this car is that it is automatic!!!! :) Bourges is a nice old little city. It is a very beautiful place. My comp is Elder Shaver and he is from Canada. haha It is weird to think that out of all of my comps only 1 of them was from Utah. Shaver and I are getting along great so I am excited to see what happens this transfer! :)
Well anyways, the first week in Bourges was dang good!!!! Elder Shaver and I have started off the week great! We are pretty much starting at ground zero but we have seen a lot of miracles this week.
During many hours of contacting we were able to teach and pray with 2 people this week! We contacted this lady named Noah and talked for a while how God is always there for us and she shared some stories about how God has helped her. We then prayed and after the prayer we were able to get her phone number! We also taught a guy names Gilles about the Restoration and we were able to pray with him and set up another rendez-vous!
Other than that we had a great spiritual time watching General Conference. This conference was so good! It answered a lot of questions that I have had. It is amazing how General Conference gives us a spiritual boost for 6 months and that how a lot of talks are so related.
We were able to eat dinner and watch the Sunday morning session with Branch President Rivet and his family. That was a great moment to seal off this great week!
Well I hope you guys have had a great week and that next week will be great for you too! Stay strong and Keep the Faith!!! Love you!!!!
