We had so many miracles! This week was just lined up by God and it was amazing!
So, crazy awesome things that happened-
1) we had a baptism!! We had Karine finally get baptized and confirmed this week and it was amazing ! She was so happy and kept saying she felt like a new person and was so happy she had made the covenants with God ! The elder who had found her, came back from his mission and was visiting. He came to perpignan for one day and baptized karine. She was so happy to see him and it was just so cute !
2) We were also out contacting a bunch. We had this crazy experience where we were going home from a member's house. She talked for a long time so we missed our bus by like 5 seconds. The second bus came and my companion helped stall it for someone so they could cross the street and get on. She felt like she should contact him, but it was like, 2 stops, and we were already getting off. After we got off the bus, this little old lady started talking to her and we talked for like, 5 minutes. She kept turning to leave and then she would talk for another 30 seconds. After she finally left, we turned around, and the guy from the bus was right there! If the lady hadnt had talked to us we would've been inside our house and not had seen him again. But he told us, he had gone to the next stop, got off, came to thank us, and we talked a bit! He asked my companion's name, saw we were missionaries, told us he was believing, we exchanged numbers, and he came to church Sunday!!! He said he had just moved to France he had kind of been asking God what to do, and then he met us and liked our church, so that's a pretty stellar miracle! We're seeing him again tomorrow, we're so excited!!!
3) another time, we decided to head out to a place a little far away from mainland perpignan. We got on a bus and went out to hit some potentials. We went to the points super far away first. We had to walk 40 minutes through vineyards and mountains and windmills. It was gorgeous. But when we finally got there, nothing happened. The guy had moved. We turned on our wifi to tell the elders He had moved and to delete his contact. Right as we turned on wifi, we got a bunch of texts from the elders saying they were hitting other potentials in the same town but more close to perpignan than the ones we hit. We ended up taking the same bus home. The elders were gonna stay out in the city to hit other potentials, but we had gotten all the rest. We took the bus home, and getting off the bus the elders contact this guy. They talk for awhile, got his number, and have a meeting set up for this week. Again Just God lining up all these people who are ready to receive the gospel ! It's just amazing and I and so thankful for God!
4) we had a "family home evening" with some members last Monday night. It was so fun. We talked about captain moroni and asked what people liked in him. They said his courage, preparation, loyalty, faith and more. We then read alma 48:17, "Yea, verily, verily I say unto you, if all men had been, and were, and ever would be, like unto Moroni, behold, the very powers of hell would have been shaken forever; yea, the devil would never have power over the hearts of the children of men." We then talked about how we can be like him and shake the power of Hell from our lives and our families. It was super good.
So yeah! Life is amazing! I hope y'all are doing well, and don't forget that you can always turn to God for help!
Love ya!
