This week was so good, full of miracles but weird at the same time. 

We taught Cesaire one time this week. He has a baptismal date but has been really busy with bball which is a bummer. Pretty much this whole week we didn't see any of our other amis but we were able to find other people and teach them.

We did exchanges this week and I stayed in Angers with a new baby bleu. I was his first exchange. His name is Elder Young. We had a cool time and we taught this guy that Elder Bailey and I found our first week together. His name is Jean-Yves and he is cool. He is a middle-aged man and catholic. He was such a serious guy but super believing. I asked him what his last name was and he just said, "It's not important."...haha He didn't really talk and isn't too open but he really liked to learn about the Restoration. The lesson went really well and the spirit was there. The bleu was on fire too! He recited the whole first vision to Jean-Yves and the kid has only been out for 2 weeks. So that was a cool miracle. At the end of the rendez-vous I asked him if he can come to church and he said no. I asked him why and he said, "It's not important" again...haha. But after a little bit he asked me what time it started and then I asked him again if he was going to come and he said yes...haha :) And....guess what?? He came!!! He really liked it this Sunday! We are going to see him again later on this week! :D

Oh, the coolest thing happened this week too! So during the week, Elder Bailey and I got a call from this Tahitian member in Rennes and he told us that he has a friend (Temanue) in Angers that is interested to talk to us. The member in Rennes fixed a rendez-vous with him and he came to pick us up. We got to Temanue's house and when we went in they had BARBEQUE going for us!!! :D  IT WAS SOOOO GOOD. We talked to him about the priesthood and he told us that when he visited the Church with his friend in Rennes, he felt the spirit after he left the church. He is super believing and such an 
islander, just so happy and nice. But anyways, we talked about how the church was restored and then we gave him a blessing because he is having a hard time with his schooling. After the blessing he said his heart felt weird and good...haha. So cool!!! 

Another cool miracle this week was on Sunday. We went porting and we decided to go to a member's and pray with them and then go porting in their neighborhood. When we did the member's told us to go down after and visit their friends who lived down the street.  So we went down and then right when we get to their door we contacted this Asian guy. He said that he wanted to know more about Jesus Christ and why he is so important. We testified about Jesus Christ and fixed another rendez-vous with him. Sadly the member's friends weren't too interested but it was super cool to know that God puts his elect in our paths. :D

Anyways...That is pretty much about it. I love you and I hope you have a great week!!!

Au revoir!!
