So best news ever- I'm staying in Perpignan with my companion !!! So we already work and teach together super well, so life is beautiful.
1) We continue to see miracles as we work to meet and teach new people ! We honestly don't understand. It's literally like God is just handing us people and saying "they're ready. Teach them." We just have people wanting to learn more keep popping up. A while ago we got a number from someone in the road, but he wasn't ever available, and it seemed like it wouldn't go anywhere. But yesterday he was actually available, so we set up a meeting. We went and talked and now we have a meeting set up with him every Sunday after church. (The only day he's available.) But it's just so cool that people are so prepared. Another person has come to church four times now, and we just didn't realize that she wasn't a seasonal visiting member !
2) We had district council the 5th of September. You want to know what else was the 5th of September? My birthday ! And I'm so completely oblivious, that Soeur Flora was able to pull off a surprise birthday party for me at the district council lunch with cake and decorations and presents without me ever thinking anything was up. So we had a fun district council and partied it up with this amazing chocolate mousse cake (France has figured out some beautiful things!) and the best French tacos. (Yall need to eat French tacos. They are soooo good.) The senior couple bought me this coloring book with pictures of kittens and quotes about cats in french, which is hilarious, because France has a lot of quotes and sayings about cats. And a few other cute presents too !
3) Also ! Cool little story. We were walking one day to an outer ville. It was an hour walk and we hadn't seen anyone. We were tired and hot and wanted to sleep, when we saw this old lady coming up to us. Usually old French ladies are very set in their way and don't want to talk to us or learn more. But it was the only person we had seen so we decided to contact her anyways. We stopped her and talked for a good while. She ended up telling us her husband died a while ago and she misses him. We gave her a plan of salvation pamphlet and invited her to church. She looked at the pamphlet and with this really cute smile said she promised she would come. It was just the cutest thing ever.
I hope you all have an amazing week, best of luck going for those of you going back to school !
Love y'all,
Soeur Cate
