So despite the less than ideal weather (it rained and snowed and rained some more), it was still a great week !
We saw the family we found last week, and after a really lovely lesson where we answered LOTS of questions, we had dinner with them. And the father revealed that airplanes have always fascinated him, and he has a flight simulator !
We saw Valerie
Soeur Gagon taught the Rupas, and we had 20 people listening !
We got a phone call at 7 in the morning from the mission president, and we were on a train 4 hours later.
We met up with our new companions and the Lyon STLs, then I headed back to Annecy with Soeur Dixon.
We had a karaoke night, which was AWESOME ! There were a ton of people there, members and non members alike, and lots of yummy food. It was funny how many english songs everybody knew, so we sang a lot in english 🤣
We had a really cool first lesson with an ami. We were outside in a little like, clear plastic walled shelter next to his university. We were in the middle of teaching when it started raining. And then was we were getting ready to finish, it started picking up more. I had the distinct impression that if we prayed, the storm would stop. But I was terrified to try that, because like, what if it didn't work ? After reading through a conference talk after the lesson, it was getting worse, and the temperature was dropping. So I gave in and told them we should pray. I could hear the storm calming while I prayed. But it was still raining by the time I stopped. I felt the promise, "if you have the faith to walk out, I'll stop the storm." I told the other two that we should go now while it was calmer, then walked out. Within a minute, the previously pounding storm was just a light sprinkle. The ami stared at me and said, "you got some kinda magic..." and I responded, "it's not us, it's the power of God !" God is real my friends, and so are miracles. The same Jesus of Nazareth that can calm the sea of galilee can also calm storms wherever we are, and whatever form they take in our lives, if we just have faith to call on Him.
Everything else was pretty normal. We had fast and testimony Sunday, so I translated testimonies from English into French for a couple of people, and everything else from French into English. I would say I'm getting solid job experience to work as a translator, but it's EXHAUSTING. So I dunno if I'd ever choose to do that.
Anyways, I love you guys so much, and I'll talk to you next week !
Love,
SÅ“ur Cate
