This was a beautiful week that started with 2 exchanges.
On Tuesday, I went to Brive to be with Elder MacArthur.
He is a really cool guy and also an audiophile, so we got along well. During this exchange, I contacted people on a bus and that was fun because I don't get that opportunity very much. It went well. People on the bus have most likely been contacted by the missionaries before so it is hard but there were a bunch of old ladies who loved me.
Wednesday, we had a district meeting and that was really fun. We practiced a little bit of this acapella Silent Night song that we are singing at the big mission conference. That might be a train wreck. But that's ok. Elder Menzel and I then bounced out to Bergerac. He is from Germany and he is just such a homie. I love that guy. He tried to teach me how to say squirrel in German, but it was way too hard.
Thursday we had a service project in the morning. Basically what we did was that we took all of the branches and leaves that were in this guys yard and we burned it all. Right there in the yard. They do that in France. So, we were picking up branches while ash fell on our heads. It was crazy.
On Friday, we called a referral that we received and it was just this guy over in Marsac who wanted a bible and a Book of Mormon in English. Apparently, he had been researching on hsi own and he was very interested. We are meeting with him this week.
Saturday was the day that we taught this guy named Ishmael. He's very cool. He said he had a lot of questions and we answered 3 questions that he said he has asked himself all of his life. With the gospel. BAM. Easy. But then he was still firm in his belief that no one could answer his questions. Haha. Oh well.
Sunday was the day of a baptism. We had a member bring 2 friends to sacrament meeting and they loved it. They both cried during the meeting and I knew that they felt the spirit. Now, it was a baptism day, but it was the bishop's daughter. That was really fun. Elder Berry and I got to be the witnesses. They then had the most amazing food ever. I ate way too much. Way. Too. Much.
But that's okay because we waled a ton this week. We found some good people, talked to some interested in our message, shared our testimonies of Jesus Christ, and we were very happy. Very happy her in Perigueux.
