This last week started with a trip last Monday to Sacré
Coeur. Yes, I went to Catholic Church! Okay, not really, I just went to the
cathedral haha I don't have any pictures that I can send right now, but I'll
send an email soon with all the pictures that I've been taking recently. It was
an awesome cathedral though! And the view from it was incredible! You can see
all of Paris! I promise I'll send pictures soon haha
That same night we had some missionaries coming in from far
because they had something to do in Paris the next day, so we led them through
the Paris metro system haha and it went well! I never thought I would
understand the Paris metro system, but now it's no big deal! The missionaries
we were helping are good friends of mine, one was trained by an Elder who was
with me in the MTC (Elder Mataele) and that missionary is now training! That
sure made me feel old haha.
On the way to help them, while on the metro, a girl tapped
me on the shoulder and asked if I was mormon, so I said yes and she was so relieved
haha she had moved to Paris a month earlier from Madagascar and had been
looking for the church! We were in the right place at the right time!
We met with Cédric this week (the man we met on the bridge
last week) and he really wants to turn his life around! We're really excited
for him and he is so sincere! He came to church again and he's doing so much
better!
On Thursday we ate at a Chinese Buffet (paid for by Soeur
Ferrazza haha) and it was super good! And while we were in there, we started
talking with 2 different families about the church! They asked us who we were,
and then we had great conversations with them! We're going to visit one of the
families this week!
On Thursday night and Friday morning I had an exchange with
Elder Coffey, one of the assistants to the mission president. It was awesome!
We found a few people and taught some lessons! One of the people we met was
from the Philippines and was interested to learn more and asked if she could
invite friends too!
On Saturday we helped a family move from one apartment to
another for most of the day, and then we went to une Soirée Africaine! An
African themed party at the church! Alejandro and Rolando came, and also a few
other amis! It was awesome! I'll send pictures of that as soon as I can too. It
was an incredible activity, and even though the missionaries had to leave
before it was over, some amis stayed because they were having so much fun!
It was a week full of awesome experiences! And I learned a
lot! One of the biggest things I learned this week is that it is never too late
to change our lives! It's never too late to do whatever it takes to commit
ourselves to follow Christ! That should always be our goal in life!
Make it an awesome week!
