I'VE DREAMED A DREAM....

Well....this week has been so so so busy. First of all...I dreamed a dream about getting ipads but it didn't happen. We went to Paris for our big ipad training thing with the whole mission but apparently something went wrong while ordering the ipads. So that was a bummer but it is probably good. I was getting way to excited for them...haha. It was okay though. :)

Then on the next day we went to BOURGES for Pday, which is why I didn't write last week. I had to go down there to get my "titre de sejour" which is like a green card but in France. It seemed like I dreamed a dream again because when I went there they didn't have it...haha. They are still in the process of getting it and it has been almost 8 months since I applied for it. So I am still illegal in the country!!! Hopefully I won't get deported...haha.

Then on Friday we went down to Paris for Mission Council. It was really good. President is a funny guy and a very spiritual guy too. Elder Bailey and I made some Zone goals for the Angers Zone and we are excited to see what happens this transfer. 

The three days took up a lot of our week but it was still a dang good week! :) Four amis came to church this week!

Cesaire is doing so well. We finished the Plan of Salvation with him and he is really excited for his baptismal date. Sadly he didn't come to church though. He said he was sick this week so that might by why. Jean-Yves is doing well too. He came to church as well! He is a tough cookie but we are seeing him change little by little which is soo good. So pretty much all of them are doing really well. We just need them to accept a baptismal date. next week we are going to work on that a lot.

We are teaching this guy named Isidore. He is from Central Africa and he is a cool guy. He hasn't been baptized yet and he totally believes that the church is true. He said he wouldn't accept a date yet until he as assisted Church and he came! (Evan's getting his French and English words mixed....haha - Assiste means attended in English). During the church he said he will come every single week!! :) So this week we will see him and totally give him a date. :)

Logis came to church too! He is a crazy smiling guy..haha. It was so cool to see all of them there because we could tell that they all felt something during church! Things are moving up for the Angers ward. We are seeing a lot cool stuff. :)

It seems like when I go throughout the weeks of each transfer I just get more tired but I feel so much better after a hard days work! Being tired makes me forget a lot of the things I was going to tell you guys but I can't remember so I will try next week to write more....and with pics. 

Have a good week guys! Love ya!!!
