Hello Family!
This week was pretty good. A little crazy, too.
Wednesday we left La Rochelle to go to Angers for a big zone conference.
The missionary couple here was super nice and drove us there with them, instead
of making us take the train...which was really great because there has been a
strike for the past 2 weeks. We stayed in the Angers apartment with the Elders
from Angers...and 8 other elders...12 elders in a 2 man apartment? Check :)
ha.
Thursday was our zone conference. It was pretty relaxed compared to other
conferences, since it was the Poznanski's last one. They both talked. President
counseled us to make sure we listen to our new President and we don't say
anything like "well President Poznanski told us to do it like this..." He told
us to respect President Babin as our new mission president. Soeur Poznanski
talked about how she has become a pro at facebook and that we don't need to
worry about staying in contact with them while we're on our mission. And that
after the mission they'd love to hear from us from time to time. There were a
total of 5 musical numbers. I was able to participate in two of them. I
accompanied a singer and cellist for Souviens-toi. And then was a tenor in Dieu
Soit Avec Toi Jusq'au Revoir (God be With you Till We Meet Again.) I was very
grateful for the opportunity I had to play the piano and sing in these musical
numbers.
This week we did tons of porting. And guess what? We had some awesome
experiences!! I have a testimony that porting does work. And that there are
people who are willing to listen to us and pray with us. Friday night we ended
up getting in two houses. It was super awesome! Elder Rigby is the porting
MASTER!! :) haha. And Saturday, we got into two other houses, one of whom had a
young, un-married couple. The girl said that she hasn't been baptized yet, but
it's something important to her and that she'd like us to come back and teach
her. So we will be trying this week to get in contact with that couple
again.
Saturday night, just before we went to sleep, Elder Rigby asked me "hey,
are you ready to get your agenda filled tomorrow?" Well...Sunday, our agenda got
filled. Three or four members asked us to come over and eat with them this
week...and then we also got Christian's baptism planned out. And there will be
two children's baptisms soon (as in like 8 year olds that have been in the church
since birth) and the members want us to invite our amis if possible to come to
these baptisms. So that was pretty cool to see that happen.
I'm doing really well. Today for P-day the missionary couple is going to
take us to see some Roman Ruins about an hour away from La Rochelle. I'm pretty
stoked to go see them ha. :)
Well, I love you all! Have a great week!
-Elder B. Stanton Wilson
