IT'S OKAY BLACK MAMBA...I STILL LOVE YOU.

I heard they are having a rough time...So this one's for you, Lakers.

Anyways....

This week felt weird...but it was really good. :)

We had exchanges in Tours this week so I got to work with Elder Smith this time.  We had a good exchange even though a lot of people didn't show up to our rendez-vous. Tours is a big city. It reminds me how little Bourges is.

Other than that we were able to see Michael again. I think we are going to have to change his baptismal date though. He says he doesn't feel ready yet and so he wants to change the date to sometime in March. Michael is really opening up to us though so that is super cool. He said that he even felt the spirit one time after he left church on Sunday! It's a start though! :)

Sadly we weren't able to see a lot of our amis because some of them were out of town or some of them were sick.

We were able to see Yves though. He is doing great! He is such a loving guy. He asked good questions too so he is progressing really well.

We are still teaching Sylvie and I am really not sure what to do for her. She reads the Book of Mormon but she just doesn't want to change her ideas. Hopefully when she asks God if the Book of Mormon is true, she will get an answer. I just wished she would ask him now instead of waiting until she finishes the book. Oh well, patience is a virtue.

We were able to find a guy named Samson too. He is from Nigeria and he is homeless. He really believes in God but when we contacted him he said he wanted to kill himself. We were able to teach him the Plan of Salvation and show him that God loves him. It seemed to help him so that is good. He has had a tough life though.

Transfers are on the 4th of February. This Saturday we will find out if I am getting transferred! I really like Bourges though and the work here is going amazingly well! :D

Have a good week! Love ya!!!! :D
