MY GOD'S NOT DEAD. (ROARING LIKE A LION)

General Conference was soooo dang good! It literally feels like a second Christmas. 

This week was so good for us and Angers! We have still been teaching Cesaire and Jean-Yves. Cesaire is still hard to teach now because of basketball and they are in the playoffs right now, but as soon as he finishes we are totally baptizing him. We will have to push the baptismal date though because we just haven't had anytime to see him. He told us he even knows it is true. He just has a lot of things going on with him.

Let me tell you about Jean-Yves though..haha. So last week on Sunday he received the "Principles of the Gospel" book and then he called us during the week and said that he read the whole book and that he had a lot of questions for us! haha So we go and meet him at the church and then he just starts off giving us his opinions about us and our beliefs. We then went on to explain to him that all of what we believe is in the Bible and that it comes through modern revelation. Then we just testified hard core about the only way he is going to find out if it is true is through reading the Book of Mormon and praying about it. It feels so good to testify of the things that are so simple but they make a great difference in all or our live. We only have to have a desire to know if the Church is true and then ask God and he will give us a response. And it is good to know that the formula always works! JeanYves is a super cool guy and he definitely keeps his engagements and I can tell that he really wants to know if the Church of Jesus Christ has been restored again on this earth.  So he is going to read the Book of Mormon and pray about it. :)

We have been doing a lot of service this week and we helped our old mission president's son move to his new house. That was fun and then afterwards we ate at our old mission president's house! It was cool to see Sister Poznanski! President Poznanski wasn't there because he is in Utah but I already saw him during my time here. It is pretty weird to see them as normal people now....haha

We saw a lot of cool miracles this week. I don't really have a specific one to tell but this week we have been focusing on praying more often and we saw some cool stuff with that. It was so amazing to see that after each prayer we said, we would find someone. Prayer really does work. It really puts us in the right mood and makes us prepared to be instruments in God's hands.

And guess what else happened this week!? We saw some lions! That is why I put in the weird title and it is a cool song too. 

Well that's about it. Zone Conference is this Wednesday so Elder Bailey and I are going to prepare for that. Love you all! Have a great week!!! Hakuna Mutata!
