Ami came to church!!

This week was sweet in good old france. we worked really hard all week and i was feeling kind of discouraged because nothing happened. we taught lessons but they weren't super great to be honest and the amis just weren't really into us this week. needless to say it was tough at the beginning. but friday everything changed. we had a lesson with our ami whose name is anne. she is a super sweet lady but she just wasn't showing much progress. we had just given her the bom and as homework we gave her the introduction to read. we started the lesson as usual by her giving us some exotic fruit flavored syrup in our carbonated water. i was taking a casual sip after asking her if she read the bom. she promptly told me that she read it and that she was going to come to church because she prayed and god told her to go to church. i choked on my syrup and carbonated water and then i was speechless after. my companion hadn't understood what she said and the member with us just looked at me while i tried to search for words to say. i told her that i was at a lack of words and that i couldn't even explain the joy i was feeling. needless to say she came to church and loved it

at church another crazy thing happened. now in st die there aren't any black people in the branch and this sunday whilst welcoming the members to church i noticed a black man walk in and i started talking to him. come to find out he's from switzerland and his soon to be wife lives here so he moved here. he brought his wife to church with him and we should be starting teachings soon. all i can say is that the lord answers prayers
