HALLOWEEN PARTY...SUCCESS!

Hey guys!  HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

This week was really good. Well as you can see with the picture, Elder Shaver an I put together a little Halloween party for the branch and their friends. I have to say it was quite a success. :) 

Elder Shaver and I tried to do a soup diet (you just eat soup for the whole week)! So let me just say when you eat liquid it stays that way...haha. Never doing that again. Anyways...

Well first off this week we had exchanges again. This time we were in Tours. It was really fun and I learned a lot from it. When we got back from exchanges we taught Madame Le Bon again. This lesson went 100x better than all of the other lessons. We were more in control and she listened. She still wants to know if there is a God and I just told her even if she just has a desire than she can know and she will know if she reads and prays. She said she would read and pray more. By the end of the lesson she even offered a prayer before we left. It was really cool to see her show her faith and ask God her questions.

We also taught a guy name Michael. He is kind of believing and kind of not. He just doesn't know if God is really out there. Elder Shaver, on his exchange, knocked on his door and prayed with him. We went over there and taught the restoration and invited him to pray and ask God if he is there. He said he would!

Other than that this week we were able to pray with some people and we were able to teach this cool young thug that we found last week on Sunday. His name is Stany and he is 22 yrs. old. We taught him the restoration this week and he asked us how we found out how these things are true. So we told him and then he said that he really wants an experience like that to really know if God is there. So we told him how he can do it and it seems like he is really excited. He seems like a golden ami. Heavenly Father has blessed us a lot here. We have seen a lot of cool miracles this week!

For Halloween our whole zone did a finding activity where we went "finding" in Tours. So we all went there and we were able to teach a total of 34 lessons that day as a zone!!! We also went on exchanges with others in my zone. I was put together with Elder Jouffray who is in my group. It was fun! Here is a self pic of us....

After the finding activity we went back to Bourges for our Halloween party that Elder Shaver and I put together. It was sooo fun....haha. We talked a lot and did bobbing for apples. I love the branch here so much. Here is a picture of some of the Branch at the Halloween Party...

Anyways...that is my week! I am so grateful for this Gospel and my mission. It really has changed my life so much. I can't describe how much I love it out here serving the people of France.  

I hope you guys have a great week!  Love you!!!! :)))
