Good week, we did some good work and really had a ton of help from members.
It
started out pretty crazy and stayed the same way pretty much all week.
Being in Paris it takes around an hour to get to most Rendez-Vous, we so
well that most of the work we did was traveling from rendez-vous to
rendez-vous. It was awesome, we didn't do as great as we normally do
talking to people on the trams and buses and what have you, but we did
schedule do a really amazing weekly planning, which helped us get in
contact with a lot of people we hadn't been able to.
This week, we ate and we ate, and we ate. We had a crazy
french meal called racklette for district meeting (it's just cheese and
potatoes and meat, but you do it with this crazy cool machine), we ate
with members (tahitians) who literally would not let us leave their
house until we ate all the food they had prepared (and it was a ton of
food) and we had racklette again at a members house. The members are
getting to be super awesome and only once when I asked for referals did
they say they didn't know anyone. The ward is starting to catch fire and
it's awesome!
In terms of amis, our crazy evangalist ami is doing great, we
got him to church and he's coming around on the Book of Mormon, our old
ami is still super old and super catholic, but the sisters are having
another baptism this week and hopefully we can get him to that, and we
have this super cool new ami who actually speaks English. The first time
we taught him we had to translate the pamphlets from French to English,
but the next time we came MUCH better prepared.
All in all, awesome week. I really learned this week that you
cannot get comfortable. It's not enough to be in a comfortable situation
and continue, you should be constantly working to progress and to help
others. Whenever you feel comfortable it's the perfect opportunity to
turn outwards and serve others. Always look for opportunities to serve
and while serving to share the gospel at the same time. It's funny
because this week we walked by a lady painting her fence, we stopped,
turned around, and asked if we could help her. She said, No thanks, but
your collegues already asked. She then asked what we do. And so, we
shared what we did. It was cool. It's my invite to you to find someone
to serve this week and to share the gospel while doing it.
