Hello Family!!
Thank you so much for all the pictures!! To explain how we got this
opportunity, well, the Professeur told us that he's done this in the past. And
he still had our number. I'm pretty excited to do this presentation, I'm also a
little nervous, too. ha. But, it'll turn out well. If you have any tips on how
we can do a good presentation, don't hesitate to let me know. Also, if you have
any finding (as in for missionary finding) ideas, I'd love to recieve those as
well :)
This past week started pretty well and ended pretty crazy. Tuesday, we had
district meeting, but we actually had to leave early so we could get to our
rdv's on time. We had 4 rdv's that day!! It was so tiring! And super cool
:)
We got an opportunity this past week to do service! We moved about 5 tons
of gravel/sand. More people in the ward were supposed to come, but it ended up
being just the missionaries for the first hour, and then a Brother and his son
came to help out. We ended up finishing it all in about 2 - 2 1/2 hours. Doing
all that shoveling back home came in handy on the mission! Who woulda thought
that? :)
Friday, Elder Dussere went to Marsaille to take an exam so he can get into
the university he wants to get into after his mission, so Elder Wallace, Elder
Johnson, and I were in a trio for about a day and a half. It was super fun!
Except for the fact that all of our lessons but one fell through. But that
lesson was super cool! It was with an ami named Emilienne. She is super
accepting. We just need to get her to come to church. Ha. C'est la vie avec tous
nos amis! (ha, that rhymes!!)
This past week we met with a new ami named Wang, from China! He will be
leaving this next weekend to China and won't be returning, but I have never seen
a bigger change in anyone than in him. We've had two lessons with him, in which
the first, he didn't know who God was, nor did he really believe in a God, and
had never said a prayer in his life. The second lesson, the first thing he said
was "I've prayed like three times each day since the last time we met. I do have
a problem though, which way should I pray? My roommate told me to pray with my
hands together, not my arms crossed." And then off that we taught him according
to his needs. We were going to try to get him baptized this week before he
leaves, but it's too soon for him. We'll be seeing him this week a couple more
times, and I'm hoping to get his email to stay in contact. Seriously, Wang is SO
cool!!
I don't really have much more to say. This week we have legality for Elder
Wallace, though. So finding is going to be a challenge for us this week. Our
focus in finding this week will be to talk to everyone at every chance we have,
because of the time we'll be missing from District meeting, legality, and
planning the presentation.
I love you all so much! I'm sorry I don't have more to say. I'll let you
know when I am informed about mother's day.
-Elder B. Stanton Wilson
