Hey Everyone,
Wow, what a crazy week.
I didn't do a lot of "normal" missionary work these past few days. Normal missionary work as in knocking on doors and teaching lessons... But that was because I was traveling all over the place with President Poznanski for a bunch of zone conferences.
We got to go up to Brussels in Belgium and then Angers and of course Paris a couple times. This was a special week because it was Preident and Soeur Poznanski's last week of zone conferences and also their last time to see most of their missionaries.
We tried to do a bunch of different things to make it special for them. We did a bunch of musical numbers and even made them a really cool, symbolic parting gift that all the missionaries helped make.
You can probably check out the France Paris Mission Facebook page and see a lot of cool video's and pictures of all that.
Alors, malgré tout... we still had the weekend to work in our area. Even though we didn't have a lot of time, the Lord blessed us and helped us find 2 cool families. One family is from South Africa and they speak english. They let us in while we were knocking on doors and they were pretty receptive to our message. They are relatively new to the area and they said they've been looking for somewhere to go to church. #quellechance
That same night there was this cool guy sitting on the side of the sidewalk, staring down at his feet... From a distance he seemed to be doing some thinking so we decided to go up and talk to him. He was a little closed at first... but we eventually broke through that unfriendly crust and had a great conversation with him. turns out he is the father of 4 and worries a lot about his children. we told him that our message is all about helping families and he seemed pretty excited about it.
Prety legit 'eh?
Man, I'm going to miss the Poznanski's! They're so great. I've loved working with them the past 18 months and this past month especially. I was so blessed to be called to this mission and learn from them and their examples. It's bitter/sweet though because I'm excited for President and Soeur Babin who will be here on friday!
Pray that the transition will go smoothly!
