Trials and Tearing up New Shirts




Hi everybody! this week has been crazy, so let me start off. it started off really sad, our engagee, (an investigator with a baptismal date fixed) has now ignored our calls and texts for a week, and we believe he has dropped us completely, which makes us sad, but maybe a miracle can happen in the next transfer. Speaking of transfers, Elder Costa got emergency transferred this week, and now I have a new companion, his name is Elder Taylor, and he's from Riverton Utah, apparently he knows my cousin Nikki, small world! He's super cool, and super clean, so that will help me out a lot I think! He's only in his fifth transfer, so we're a young equipe in the mission, but we can both speak French, and we have a lot of hope for this next transfer!


The Sacrificial Shirt

This week our mission president has a super cool idea, and had us all make a Title of Baptistry. Taking Captain Moroni's idea, he tore his shirt, and wrote upon it a title for our mission, and invited us all to do the same, it was great! We were all really inspired, and he gave us a lot of hope! I have loved conference with a passion this last weekend, and invite everyone to listen to all the talks and really reflect, I learned a lot and hope to apply a lot of new principles in my life. I would especially recommend the talk given by President Uchtdorf where he talks about, "Lord, is it I?" It really made me reflect, and try and be better. All is well here in Narbonne, hoping everybody is good at home, au revoir!
