This week was busy busy busy again. Both this week and last week, we have taught twenty-five lessons, and at least half of those are with investigators (awesome!).
Let's see... Monday, we had P-Day of course. Nothing super exciting happened during actual P-day. I took a nap! That was great. After P-day ended, we had two good lessons with investigators. We taught the two girls, Annie's daughters. That was great. They are so excited about learning. And we're still teaching their mom. We went there three times this week, and they are doing great. I have a lot of hope for them. I can see their great potential. It's really amazing how much you come to love the people that you meet on the mission. It feels like they become part of you because you're sharing the things that are most important to you. After Annie and her daughters, we went to see Rhonda.
Tuesday, we did a lot of driving. We had district meeting in Effingham, and we went through Mattoon. Hour and a half there, hour and a half back. Driving is so much fun! It wasn't that bad.
We taught a family that the mom has been wavering with less activity and bad health. It was nice to visit them, and hear some fun stories about other missionaries. Sometimes you hear some...interesting stories! Haha.
Oh! And Sunday... we had a baptism! Yay!
It was nice, because it was a kind of low-missionary-involvement baptism (he's the 10 year old son of the Primary president). We were hoping that we would have some investigators there, but that fell through. We'll keep trying :)
We helped a less active move and the back of my neck got really sunburned. Ouch. I didn't think about putting sunscreen there...
The first firefly I caught! Don't know if you can see it...
Anyway... life in Paris is wonderful :) Keeping busy, working hard, serving the Lord...
Spiritual thought: The Lord gives us tender mercies all the time! Thanks to the Forest Home Beehives for the care package they sent... We had a referral from the Book of Mormon musical (haha) and I gave her one of the copies of the Book of Mormon that they sent.
Alma 7:11-12: "And he shall go forth, suffering pains and afflictions and temptations of every kind; and this that the word might be fulfilled which saith he will take upon him the pains and the sicknesses of his people. And he will take upon him death, that he may loose the bands of death which bind his people; and he will take upon him their infirmities that his bowels may be filled with mercy, according to the flesh, that he may know according to the flesh how succor his people according to their infirmities."
Getting kicked off...Love you all!
