Well i have some extra time so i get to write a little bit today. This week had the looks of being a week full of struggles but it turned out to be super good.
Tuesday is when the magic started happening. we were porting in the rain during the evening and we decided to go to a place we'd never gone before. we took a bus and ended up at this stop. we'd thought we'd picked bad but actually it was quite the opposite. We picked some houses that seemed to be nice and the second house a young lady answered. i thought she was like 15 years old and asked where her parents were. she told us that it was her and her conjoint's home (I don't know if conjoint is a word in english) she said she was super believing and let us in to pray with her and her conjoint. we prayed with them and they told us a little bit about their baby that they just had 6 months ago. Tonight we have another rendez vous with them so we are super excited. we even get to go with our studly dmp so that's super cool too. the next house we knocked and got let in by another lady. she has a son who's 2 years old named eli. she'd seen some reporting on our church and was interested. we gave her a bom and told her we'd be back. we came back this friday and we had a really great lesson with her and a member named pierre. he invited her to church and she said that she would maybe come if she had nothing else going on.
Wednesday we had a fun day where we went into belgium to teach a 9 year old that has yet to be baptized. He is super cool and such a nice little kid and it's so fun to teach him. We had a cdp but it wasn't really because nobody was there, not even our stud of a dmp. but it was ok because he was at the temple so i'll forgive him.
the week went on and i got to go on a rather long exchange with a french elder named elder perez. it was super cool and we did lots of good work together. we saw our boy karim and he is still a little scared about being baptized. we'll work with him though. This sunday we had 2 of the families we teach come to church as well as karim. and remember the lady that said maybe? she was totally there! it was so funny because we were late because we had to go pick up one of our amis and the transportation is slower on sunday. I walked in and pierre caught my attention and pointed at mary. it was super cool to see her come. she is also a branhamist so that was a feat in and of itself.
I found out today that i will be staying the V D'dascq with one of my boys Elder Wilson. i totally remember when i was his district leader in long ago and we joked about being zone leaders together. well now it's totally happening. how cool is that? i'm so happy i get to stay with this great ward and with all the cool missionaries that serve in the Lille area. The mission is growing so fast and i'm nearing an end so i need to like use all that i have even though i'm so stinking tired. woo hoo!
