General Conference, Rugby Matches and Street Preachers


Bonjour Toute le Monde! Everything is still good in Narbonne, and even though this week has been rough, we have faith it will work out! We currently have no investigators for the first time since I got here, but we're working really hard to change that! It struck me that at the last conference a lot of the talks were about following the Prophet, and so this week I've really been trying to go over conference notes, read past talks, and stuff like that. It’s amazing how much these men are inspired, I truly love reading their teachings. Makes me think of D&C 1:38, and really reflect over such a blessing we have in this time. This week we had Zone training, and our zone made a Title of Baptistry, just for our zone, and then we all gave each other blessings, that we may work hard, and be blessed in our sectors, that we can baptize. Super powerful experience, I'm so grateful to be here in this mission right now!


We had a service project on Saturday, and painted a house, and then we got to go to a RUGBY MATCH!! It was super fun. One of the less actives we are working with is a professional rugby player, so we got to go see his game, the mission president gave us permission, it was super cool! I want to learn more about Rugby now.





Last week we were in Beziers for conference, and walking down the street we came across this African guy dressed in ceremonial African gear and stuff, and referring to himself as "The Prince." He was a super funny guy and we started talking to him, and eventually the Beziers elders got a lesson fixed with him. Halfway through our conversation, these two young women walked past, and he said, "Bonjour, mesdames! [pause].... Jèsus vous aime!" Translation: “good day girls! Jesus loves you! We were laughing so hard!! All is well in the south of France, au revoir toute le monde!
